Let’s get through Thanksgiving week and I’ll set up a ride early next week.
45 minutes
2.0-2.5 pace
No fence
Race results? Or allow late arrivals? (Can’t do both)
Only our TGR group visible.
Flatish course with a good climb or sprint to finish.
Evening? 6 MST Is that too late for EST guys?

Probably as good of a time as any! I’ll make it if I can too

Probably don't need race results, and they don't work right anyway.

Keep it together probably not necessary either if we keep it chill until the end and pay attention.

I'm pretty free this time of year so whenever works for me.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

Yeah 6 MST any day but Thursdays for me. No race results and no "keep everyone together".

[ticketchecker]

I can most likely make a 6 MST ride.

Sweet. What’s the policy on wheel sucking?

[COBRI]

Has anyone here used Zwift/FulGaz/Rouvy and have comparisons between them? I do a lot of my own planned ERG workouts- but looking for something else to spice it up. I like the look of Rouvy and pretending to ride through some cool places and having the trainer adjust to hills accordingly.

[buttahflake]

The augmented reality rides on Rouvy are probably the future of indoor riding. They are really impressive. Rouvy needs to get the drafting integrated, get some race leagues started, groups etc... There are too many people on Zwift at times, and not enough on Rouvy to keep it spicy.
The avatars are a little goofy also, I’m sure they will start to refine it as the indoor scene is blowing up. Riding on real roads in places I’ll never visit is a trip. They are onto something with AR rides.

[VTskibum]

Bah I'm out for tomorrow night. Dr orders today to skip riding for a full week and then said no beer tonight for MNF to top it off.

[Iowagriz]

I'm also likely out for tomorrow, I'm in process of tearing apart my garage and that is where the trainer setup is located. I will join at some point.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

I still plan to be there!

[huckbucket]

I'll be there too and will ride if there are 10 of us or just me. Doesn't matter. At the risk of asking a stupid question, where will I find a link to join when the time comes? Upper right hand corner after booting up? If so, what's it called?

[Iowagriz]

Not sure if it varies by how you stream (Computer, Apple TV, phone, etc.)

For me, I connect and just start riding whichever world is default. Then I get a blue box in lower left adding if I want to join the "event" or "meetup". Click on that and it takes you to the starting pen.

Side note, make sure that you've accepted the invite prior to connecting. I use the Companion app to do that part.

Edit: lower left for me, which sounds different than others, I use Apple TV

[buttahflake]

I usually warm up for a while before any event, pick any route in any world. Exactly a half hour before the event starts a pop up will appear on the bottom left that says “join event”, you can join at any time right up till the start. When you join event, you will either be in the start pens or on the side of road on a virtual trainer. A countdown clock will be on the top right with the riders listed on the sidebar. When the clock times out it’s on!

[Lvovsky]

I will pick up lightly used Kickr v4 tomorrow. The seller also has climber accessory. Trainer only is $900. Or $1300 with climber. Is the climber worth?

/ don’t want to open new thread, sorry about the thread drift.

[Iowagriz]

Climb seems like a cool idea, but I don't know if it is $400 worth of cool.

Piece in bold is what I was missing. All set now. Thx

[joetron]

I work till 6, but if I can get out quick and bust it home I’ll jump in for a little bit. Thanks for putting this together.
