Don’t know if I joined or not. Will have a look tomorrow

Created a Rouvy club.

Sorry Randy, Will not respond for now as 'Riding with the Oldies' got there first and they 'race' through the summer. It turns out that I can only be in one club at a time and will look at it again in the Autumn. Have had some fun rides with them with several podiums and one win - though only ever from 'group' rides.

I went into Rouvy and although I had joined I had to accept something to see and leave messages

Looks like @JuhaL is in.

Edit: congratulations on your successful ride today.

Thanks for the invitation. Just for curious I go to Rouvy companion app and noticed your club invitation.

I just downloaded Grand Theft Bike. It’s a mod for Grand theft auto. I’ll see if I can get it to work. I had to dig up an old laptop because it doesn’t run on Apple OS.
The steering I have is the older Tacx and doesn’t work with it.

Never tried that but few times saw it when Shane Miller - GPLama is ride on with that.

I have it working but I’m a terrible gamer.
I need to move to a different house because ours doesn’t have a basement. I’ll also have to start drinking energy drinks and eating skittles. I found out how to link Strava. The Tacx steering I have doesn’t work. The new Tacx does but I can get any Bluetooth steering like sterzo etc. so far big fun and once I’ve gained the gaming skills I’ll ask @Brusgaard to program my weapons for Rouvy. Then look out all you fast riders.
Plus free once you buy the Grand Theft Auto for $15. And energy drinks. They may get expensive

Day 2 of playing around with GTBike. It is very similar to my first program that came with the Minoura ICE 26 years ago. It was called ultracoach/ netathlon. It had steering and crashes and you could go off route. Of course the graphics were primitive and the scenery disappeared not too far off the routes. You had to buy different routes on CDs. And used 30 megs.
This GTBike uses 100 gigs and has seemingly endless areas to ride with great graphics. Even off route it has the elevations programmed in. I went up the berm of an underpass and it jumped to crazy gradient.
It’s worth checking out just because it’s different than the other programs with steering and crashes etc.
And it’s free.

When I went on Rouvy this morning I saw @Goldwolfie on a downhill portion of Zion ride,
I thought that I could finally get my payback. But as soon as I jumped on he took off. It is a very disappointing start to my day.
Congratulations @Goldwolfie.
