any group rides planned? and how do they work?

If you mean "let's all ride the same session at the same time" then the difficulty (or impossibility) is finding a day and time to suit everyone.
We opted for a less formal structure - BOAB picked three rides of different distances, posted them on here, and those that wanted to had a go at them whenever they fancied it. Then we compared times and invented excuses .
There's nothing to prevent you, or any other member, doing the same thing. It's already sort of happening as people see sessions that others have done and challenge them.

There is the option of setting up a league, which needs to be done by an Administrator, but it didn't find favour so we didn't bother. Now we have more members, the consensus may have changed. So tell us what you'd like and if there's enough support, it might happen.

A league sounds good although I think I'll be last almost everytime, I'm still new to this so didn't know really what I meant

Seems complicated

Seems complicated

Yep

 

[Chrisw481]

Plus we'd have to decide on routes and what not, if someone else wants to do it I'll participate but too much work for me to do

 

[Peteaud]

The other thing for me is that in 8 weeks or so spring will be here and i will on the Bkool less and less until the weather turns,

so that will be april then.

Good point, still might use the bkool for hill training seeing as its pretty flat around me and can't drive to the hills

"Jose Matias Misiego Ruiz beat you in 'Col de la Madeleine' , 25.7 Km. and spent 01:15:57 less than you using BSim"

Why would someone so much faster than me use me as an opponent? I don't see the point. I try to pick opponents who have times around what I expect/hope to do.
Or I pick group members, because I like being humiliated

bit pointless isnt it ..stick to similar timed opponents is so much better ...means you can draft behind them as well
