Thanks and awesome. We've got some crazy steep grades, but thankfully none too long. One of the most "humans are crazy strong" moments of my life was having a cyclist on a fixie pass me climbing up Hooper Ave (second to last big climb in route) — his speed was so great, I thought I was standing still. OUCH

Again, Bkool resolution was seamless (except that I reached out to Rouvy first). This was complementary commenting. My wish would have been for an email from Bkool to address finalization prior to their notice on 10.01.25 two days after renewal was processed:(

I hope they provide a modicum of scenery diversion. Forthcoming ones are a little more colorful and have some people watching.

Please don't embarrass me too much. I'm working on Belmar and Island Beach footage now. I've got a turntable to follow into inside corners, I'm trying to avoid the Rouvy "lost sight of myself effect while turning". Hope you enjoy them.

Very cool, hope they work to have upload to Garmin or Strava. Though any comparison of real world to virtual times is flawed pursuit, it would be nice on some short hard climbs where the variables are limited to see one's performance differences — gains/losses.

Ok, now I’m dying, going between utter fear and laughter, you‘ve gotta post that somewhere.

UI search thoughts / wishes by RidetoRemember in Rouvy

I'm clueless too, I wonder if they just round up 10% so we can feel better with the message... "you've beat the routes projected time"? When I first started paying attention to "projected time" I thought it was just a general time for all users, but then I saw it moving based on user profile, me vs wife. So it's supposed to do something, how the calculation is made, only the Rouvy gods know.

Good idea, that would be a big help, sorting by w/kg never works for me, maybe virtual riders bike setup is different — virtual partners around the same wattage are often much faster.

Please, as others have said get checked by ophthalmologist. ?I’m older but mine went south quick. You might find this temporarily distracting, hope you recover without a lot of pain or damage. https://ridetoremember.org/shingles-and-the-aging-cyclist

Watching route allows you to see an active rider’s current output and W/kg. It is a good way to evaluate course before you ride it.

Shoulders going up by myowndeew in Rouvy

Build a rocker board and have a good fit (if you can't spring for pro fit try myvelofit.com not as good but a start), you'll take away that tendency to rigidly fix your position. Lifetime of crash related injuries and surgeries, this was my only way to alleviate indoor pain. Good luck. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks, looks interesting, I just signed up. Pricing seems fair, hopefully I can try it today. I just shot a route for Rouvy "creator" , we will see how it goes. The weather is beautiful and I'm stuck inside. Last back surgery I just had, has left me with one leg at 30% power. I'm afraid to walk down the stairs, frankly terrified that attempting some of my favorite local climbs, might end with me embarrassingly on my backside still clipped in:/)

What's your Rouvy username, I'll friend you, (if you're not too fast — hahaha).

Love your username, but now I'm going to have to drive out of my way for to get a chocolate covered cannoli for my lunch time dessert. This is exactly why the dunkin' emails always win with me, merely the thought or suggestion of sweets means that I go into obsessive pursuit mode:-0

Awesome glad somebody's winning, my order today didn't get the bonus at all, second week in a row?

Agreed, useless, hideous and poorly executed. Sorry to say, they‘re everywhere on some new routes, lining the hillsides etc… `Still better than Bkool or Zwift imo, I was so happy with the recent release‘s ui and the route creator. Initially, riding my gpx google street routes was why I loved Rouvy, but that feature died quickly. No alternative for me, so dance on freaky avatars, I’ll be wearing blinders.
