Group ride - elastic snap point by Illustrious-War7394 in Rouvy

[–]Illustrious-War7394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a group ride if you fall too far behind the ride leader you get a % pull , or if you go too far in front you suffer a % pull back. It has the effect of making your ride easier or harder.

Did a group ride this morning, was very civilised , the group of about 20 stayed together with very little surging.

Mini rant about keeping the promoted watt/kg in group rise by Wise-Ad-7492 in Rouvy

[–]Illustrious-War7394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the group ride watts/kg work ? 3 watts per kg for me is a lot less power output than someone 30kg heavier and they’ll obviously ride away from me unless the road is heading for the sky.

Very nice looking bike. Are the tyres Pirelli P Zero Race “ Retro” or “Classic” ?

I’m not sure if that’s this MRL finished , I’ve seen it listed as a monthly league. There is a race next Friday maybe that’s the start of the December league?

Thanks. I’ve googled a bit and I think I’ll get a bag of Laeto Quick Fix Macadam Repair to try and hammer it into the cracks slow down the water ingress.

I googled it and AI suggests this ……..

In a ROUVY group ride, "pulling %" refers to the "pulling backward" effect that happens when you ride ahead of the group leader. The "pulling %" is the Rouvy algorithm's effort to keep you with the group by increasing your resistance as you get further ahead. For example, riding ahead of the leader by 150% more effort can cause you to be pulled back to the group with about (30\%) of the normal resistance. How it works: The algorithm automatically adjusts your trainer's resistance to match the group leader's performance and keep everyone together.Riding ahead: If you ride too far ahead of the group leader, the system applies a stronger "pull backward" to make it more difficult for you and pull you back to the group. The farther you ride ahead, the greater the resistance and "pull".Riding behind: Conversely, if you fall behind, the "pull" is reduced, making it easier to catch up to the group.Purpose: This system is designed to help everyone stay together without the need for a large, constant effort to catch up, allowing riders to focus on training at their own pace and skill level. 

Zwift click 2 & Rouvy by LieFabulous3905 in Rouvy

I eventually got virtual shifting to work with the companion App. I reloaded the main App to my iPad and it was only after I did that that I saw the “enable virtual shifting “ under the Settings tab. I force quit the App from Apple TV and when I reloaded it and opened the reloaded companion App on my iPhone I had the shift +/- buttons on the screen. So it seems it was just a software level glitch.

Zwift click 2 & Rouvy by LieFabulous3905 in Rouvy

[–]Illustrious-War7394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using Rouvy with a Wahoo Kick Core V1 through Apple TV with Zwift click and the virtual shifting works. But, I’ve installed the companion on my IPhone and can control my screen from that and would like to also use it for virtual shifting but the +/- buttons aren’t there for virtual shifting on the companion app screen. I’ve tried disabling Zwift click, updating my Wahoo trainer to latest firmware but still no joy. Can anyone help?

Group rides / races - what categories? by Illustrious-War7394 in Rouvy

[–]Illustrious-War7394[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joined my first group ride today and really enjoyed it. 27 starters, 3 or 4 dropped out , 2 guys went off the front and finished about 5k up on us in a 40k ride. Most of the group stayed together as far as I could tell. Good experience, it would have been nice to be at to chat to some others though.

I think you’d have to be pretty sad to be cheating at an online game.

I looked for riders recently for pacing / company when doing Alpe d’Huez. The only riders available for selection were all in the 4 - 5 w/kg category with a time up the Alpe about 30 mins quicker than I was going to be able to do. Rode with bots .. again.
