I'm Veteran 2 so it must be 50 - 59. I haven't come across a Veteran 3 yet but I'd guess that's 60 - 69.

Cheers Bill, so i'll be Vet 2 next year...join the oldies

At 42, that makes me the Whippersnapper here! Guess I get to drive the Sunshine minibus on our excursions then? About 7:30pm UK time suits me best, only because I have two young children, and they don't need to see their dad wheezing, gasping, sweating and knocking at Death's door astride his Turbo trainer! At the moment they think I'm reasonably fit, and I see no need to thrust the cruel truth in their faces!

Im happy with that time or pretty flexible until I've had food and drink. Like the group name the rebels, we could start with one ride a week we all try to turn up for but could be ridden again anytime during the remainder in the week to keep league running.

Sounds fairly feasible to me.

Sounds good as long as it's not to late as I'm up at 4am each morning for work

7 - 7.30 suits me - sounds like a good idea

The Rebels are progressing! That said, I have just spent a day roofing, clambering up and down a 45% pitch for 8 hours. Just tried to do a steady hour on a constant .5% incline.....and died on my ar*e! Quit after a mile and a half....NOT GOOD!

We could have just named ourselves the oldies but with one or two whippersnappers still in their 40's, we are now "The Rebels".

I like the idea of meeting for a virtual ride so count me in. Will try to make 7 or 7.30. One of the Selections for finding a ride in Bsim is "Friends". Anyone tried that? Could this be a way of helping locate where the group is riding?

Guys, does anyone know how on earth you switch the BKOOL App back to video mode after using it in 3D? Everytime I pick a video based course it defaults to the 3D view, so I went into settings and completely disabled 3D now it just gives me a map! If I press the arrow keys it doesnt switch to video so either I'm missing something or.....

Thanks

Jeez @BILL S your making the rest of us look bad

Just had confirmation that wiggle are refunding me for the classic turbo I had a problem with. Now do I replace it with a pro or get another classic. For those that have used both, which did you prefer?

Never tried a Classic, but love my Pro!

 

[Runexeter]

Not had any problems with my Classic so very happy with it.

 

[Rayvon]

We gonna say Thursday nights 7:30 for the group ride, maybe start next week.
Who wants to set the rebels group up?, any takers.
Do we have any preference for the rides, distance, hilly, flat.... I suggest we have a weekly ride and everyone chooses a ride which we can do once a week ongoing league or just run it monthly.... Just some thoughts...

Pro seems quieter and smoother. Classic probably more bullet proof. I swapped out my classic for a pro and prefer the pro. Beware of the fan rub though. If you get a bad one like mine you'll have to run it with the cover off until wiggle get some new covers from bkool.
