In the 1st omnioum it's 2 laps then every lap after the last 2 people out? Are the 1st 2 laps at a slow pace or will it be full speed from the start?

I have no idea but suspect we may be the first two eliminated! I'm going to ask in discord for some guidance!
Every race (and group rides) I've done on rgt have had brutal starts. I can see this start being worse

Rats I've got something else at 18:30/19:30 so I'll just do the elimination race. It's annoying that some places (rgtdb) show times in utc and others (phone app) in local time. It's confusing for old people!

I signed my wife (Wendy) up last week and she did her first Group Ride today. It was badged as an easy recovery ride. She span up to the signed 1.5 w/kg at the start, and the poloton disappeared into the distance. A couple of guys dropped back and acted as sweepers and she had a good 48 minute ride in the end (at 1.7 w/kg) - but looks like a race start at the next one is required.

I think Lou's rides on Saturday and Sunday are the most social. Big field and some guys racing it, but it seems the vast majority are just along for the ride and groups form up at all levels. I did a couple when getting to know the platform and they might be just the thing for Wendy.
Thanks mate - I'll give her that suggestion.
She enjoyed it anyway - even if it nearly killed her

I did the Sunday social ride and missed a big train, sat with a few at the advertised pace but not many people about so I picked my way through untill I got To a decent size group. I'm sure there would have been plenty at the back also.
