@adski
With your ride today you’re back at the front of the pack for November. It didn’t take long for you to get back in form.
Plus giving both @Breedon and @berty bassett bad health advice was a good move.

That's a massive speed improvement @adski, are you sure you did the right route?!

Sorry not much sympathy from me. I worked one summer a long time ago driving forklift. We called them jitneys. I loved it. Probably the most fun job I ever had. You get to have fun every day.

Forklift what I drive is a Linde, it is equipped with bale clamps. I'm handling cellulose bales with that.

I did Vietnam route today, my goal was ride sub 50min and I barely did it. I just have to ride easier and prevent full effort.

10 seconds to spare. I saw your heart rate climbed up to 159. Are you trying to keep it in zone 2?

Today I push it bit harder especially last 5-6minutes but somewhere zone 2-zone 3 I try to normally keep my heart rate. Very often it stays level3.
Todays avg. was 136,9.

@<Tommy> and others. My BKOOL sub runs out in a few days. They give 50% discount on the Rouvy monthly sub, for 2 months. I'm currently thinking that this is my best option, as it is then only a few months before I will probably stop for the summer. However, the best deal would be a group membership with 4 others. We would all need to pay for every month, though! Is there sufficient interest for this?

That makes sense Rod. It would be good to get four or five of us together but I don’t think it’s going to happen in the near future. I hope you guys who have a sub with Bkool can continue to use that to get good deals on rouvy. And myself and Adam will get the duo sub. Then maybe next year we can have another look.

Because I've been on Rouvy for two years they offer a discount. You'll be eligible next year.

If you, Adam, @Stevers, me and one more were to go for the annual group sub it would be £90 per year each, £7.50 per month. This would give use through the summer also. @Stevers thinks his brother-in-law may be interested, or anyone else? Please let me know if this is of interest.

The day before my 2 months 50% off deal ended Rouvy emailed a 15% off loyalty offer so I've taken that up for the next year. Works out about £11 odd a month if you pay annually. So not that much more than bkool. I'm not sure how the pause feature works with a group deal but if it can be done independently of the group I'd be up for joining in next time.

One person pays the entire sub and then can invite up to four other people to join. So in practice you divide the overall cost by the number of people in the group. If one person wanted to suspend their membership / pay less, it would in effect mean the others would be paying more.

Looking at rouvy and when I log in and check my sub it says manage sub on bkool. Bkool says my sub will auto renew next year at 79.99.

Will bkool take the money or rouvy and how much?

Not even tried to load rouvy yet!

Wow! Thanks Shim. I didn’t see that the Bkool subscription continued. It’s way cheaper than the Rouvy annual.
I need to cancel my Rouvy.

 

[shimceltic]

I can't see it renewing for that though, What's everyone else's saying who are still on the bkool sub?
