Hi Marty. Looks like you are already a member of the Chaingang group so all you need to do is join the race at 5pm tonight.
The ride is Porvoo / Finland and I'll be starting it so all you need to do is find the ride.
So from the Sim.

Enter either Bill S in Name in Bkool, or Any word in route name (like Porvoo) in the appropriate boxes.
Then hit Filter again.
That should be you joined the ride. See you at 5pm for the start of the warmup

And remember to stop pedalling when the timer gets to around 20 seconds as you need to do a standing start when it hits zero...

Hi. AAAC has invited me to join the group but haven't quite worked out how to join the organised rides.
I can see the Strade Bianche 2016 ride in my schedule but how do i join it at 5pm or maybe that not even the ride.
sorry to be dim?

I'm not cycling tonight due to still recovering from @BILL S last 'flat' route. Around two weeks ago...

I'll be along to cheer you on though..

Cycle well

And without snow shoes?

Good training, snow shoes, 25 yard intervals with full fighting order and a GPMG really gets the old ticker going.

WIthout snow shoes I'd need a snorkel to breathe.

And yes it can be good training, even without the gear -- we've got a nice hill that connects our back yard to the sundance nordic center. Breaking trail up that hill counts as a full ride in my book.

bills with or without a space

I believe there should be a space AAAC. You should know that by now.

You're beginning to sound like a Zwift candidate Jim.

Seems very limiting then ... not sure I'd like that. I love the fact I can choose random rides in BKool, sometimes a hill, sometimes a flatter ride, always different. I'm also lucky I rarely have any system issues, and as a slowie I don't think I lose much in the system. But I'm someone who compares my progress against my own historical fitness. Races against others is fun, but I don't take it too seriously (well, apart from @Jim Brown ha ha)

FWIW, all their "worlds" have significant flats. Only Watopia has what I could call a serious climb (~2000ft vertical with a nasty final mile). London has a couple moderate climbs (Fox & Box Hill IIRC). Richmond, IMHO, is just lame, so I never ride in that world.

But try not to get the smoke and burning rubber that DP's OH keeps complaining about.

Blimey, must be a hidden webcam in the bedroom...

 

[CXRAndy]

You did? I dropped back looking for you to tag along with and txt you a message but no response.
That was quite fast this morning so don't be too hard on yourself.
You crx Andy on Zwift?

Yes that is me. I remember the pack strung out on a long climb and I didn't notice the group drop me. I should of tried a little harder., But I think the first lap was packet and I was holding back a little. In the other hand I could of blown up trying to catch up
