Bugno,
Strava link? What turbo?
BUGNO: I don't use Strava. I do not know what a turbo is other than the thing that makes cars go faster.
... and then I googled. When you write turbo you mean the trainer ? I have a BKOOL trainer purchased medio December 2014. Ie, the shop I bought it might have had it for so long that it's one of those trainers that can't be calibrated with Zwift. At least, I do not get that calibration button that I've seen in documentation on the web.
Less friendly?!? AS friendly IF you mix with the right people. Go mix with the racers and you will get support and also lots of competition and some unfriendliness, just like most competitive fora. At A and B level and increasingly C there is a lot of frustration with sandbaggers, weight dopers and other performance enhancing users. Other than that I largely see a Hugely supportive community it’s just it’s much much bigger than on bkool. So it’s harder to find teams or groups to ride with that you may have something in common with especially when they will proportionally have more overseas riders. Also the very sise means it’s harder to mix and chat and p take after a race or ride. I missed that bkool element. That’s why I was drawn to Zsun where we have that during and after rides. On Zsun racing we have just had the annual awards for various silly things, we have another awards based on distance and altitude etc And amidst all that a lot of p taking and camaraderie. New target s have been set for everyone, support offered for future training rides. To say Zwift users don’t help or are unsupportive is just silly tosh and ignores the huge community that has built up just to do those very things. It’s good, much the same as here with you all supporting each other on your souped up unreliable bkool rides
Main thing is we are all having fun and staying or getting fitter.
I have to say sometimes reading stuff on here sometimes is like reading the mutterings of pro Brexiters. There is a lack of perspective/ reality. I can understand if people don’t like Zwift- no one is obliged to- I can also understand if people get lost in it at first - I did too. But to say users are unsupportive and unfriendly as if a few too many idiots reflect the actuality is just plain silly
@Jim Brown , even for a Yorkshireman that must be a bit chilly for you! Down here it's nippy, but clear skies and not a drop of snow .... strange how diverse our weather can be in such a small country
As for Zwift ... I just found it boring (and likely completely out of synch with my old Bkool trainer).

. We have a re-run of tonights race on Saturday at 5pm. If you're not sure how to join the race just ask here. Easiest way is do a search in the sim using the filter to look for the name of the person starting the race, usually me, so search for Bill S.
