On my screen

Dave was lance and stopped dead

 

I was 2nd the whole way playing with flippie, then I was first :) :)

 

Then.........not so much ROUXTJIE came from "1.8km behind" to win :(

 

And I was 700m behind, the delay needs a bit of work, but it was again great fun,

 

DAVE WAS HIS CONSTANT 370watts.

Had a great duel with Dave, then my ipad lost connection and couldn't see any of you guys for the rest of the race. Finished in 42:20, still can't get my ipad to connect... Who finished first?

Ok some feedback on the IOS app. Not running the latest IOS, so no crash.

 

1.There is quite some lag in loading the virtual races on the ipad once you select the virtual racing tab....one has to wait about about 4-5 minutes before they come up in the screen so you have to be on your bike at least 20 minutes before the start to allow for this loading and calibration....not a train smash but would be nice if the response was slightly quicker.

2.There is still some lag in the feedback from other racers whilst racing....your own metrics are realtime and updates on the fly. Other peoples positions on the course comes and goes every 2-3 minutes and then stands still. This never happened to me before on virtual partners or other races(the race where my data ran out was perfect, but we were 4 participants...there everyones positions and metrics got updates every second and the simulation worked perfectly)...only the last two races(hubcup and cyclops cup) where there more than 5 participants which leads me to believe that this is where the bug lies. Dips and myself are going to test this theory where I will create a race just for me and him and see if the lag dissapears.

3.When I completed the course....it said disconnecting from race, however it just stayed almost frozen in this state for 5 minutes or so. Its like the whole app froze. My data, time and results were all uploaded though.

 

These are minor bugs and the only fault I can find....still great humor to participate. If I can have a wishlist of just one fix it would be the lag between other peoples time and positions...this will enhance the experience so much and like I said it used to work perfectly in races with less participants....when other people's positions are live wrt to yours it makes the racing exciting.

 

Thanks for this great initiative Dave....awesome stuff
