Zwift Chat

I’ve just created a Facebook page but I think I’m keeping it from the missus. Is this divorce material?!

Step one: She finds out.
Step two: I have to be friend her on Facebook....
Step three: I get daily friendship requests from people who have no interest in my first love (riding my bikes obviously! )
So far I’ve only joined groups specific to cycling. Paradise!!

I did exactly the same. I only use FB to access Groups. I have a pseudonym and don't accept any Friend Requests. I did tell my good lady though

You didn't install the Facebook app did you?

Only use through the internet browser., Or else you will be tracked to death and notifications every five minutes, saying I've just left kitchen entering front room

Anyone riding/racing this evening?

I'll be on later for a bible I'm doing a easy week for TrainerRoad so will do a free ride of around 2-2.5 w/kg for 90 minutes

That’s what I’m going to do, cheers mate. Honesty definitely the best policy! (In this case)

You got me worried now! What’s wrong with the app? I’ve got it so it doesn’t send me banners etc. I just like having all my cycling stuff on one screen but I suppose I could just put a link up thinking about it...

I’m thinking of going up one of the hills a few times for the Everest challenge if anyone fancies that?

Basically, Facebook will now scour all your contacts on your phone (and other dark arts) and send them and anyone you've ever known a notification that you're on Facebook and suggest they ask to "friend" you......enjoy!

Never mind the Everest Challenge, do the Andy's Cyclechat challenge

You too Norry!

Haha!.... oh $hite...

They asked if they could access my data and I said no. Hopefully that puts them off the scent? So far the suggested friends they’ve offered me have no obvious link to me. This chap being the pick of the bunch so far!

Oh yeah!

I’m supposed to be taking it easy at the moment mate

I had considered that but it is London today. Might do the BRT race.

To be honest it sounds like in this case it’s doing you a favour mate. Get rid of those old BKOOL assisted times and start fresh!

But in principle, it is a bit of a dick move... admittedly democracy has brought us Brexit and Donald Trump, but it still beats the alternative!

I had beaten nearly all my old bkool times. Its only Andy and my conscience that have occasionally reminded me of the odd one. I don't know- I am occasionally in favour of a bit of benevolent dictatorship. Also, the ensuing piss taking out of Kim today has made me cry with laughter so just about acceptable.

Trainerroad offer online bible classes?

If not out working at 7pm i will do a zone 2 fox and box for the Tron bike.

We get given this minus "my PR" and then they get populated with our times. As they improve we get virtual green coupons-remember those?-as an incentive. Really, the friendly competition is the incentive. Sprints etc to be added.

There is no reason why we couldnt move to something like this if people wanted it. After all, its no different to what Andy has already suggested albeit a bit more formalised. Not to be shared elsewhere
