What’s a European style race?

[LongDonkey]

Route from Europe, the flags are a odd and i gave up trying to figure the location as i was in a hurry last night.

Its called Cura Nuova - Potassa

 

Rode part of it tonight, its a good route for a race and will be tough if you race it the whole way.

 

Maybe post it on this Rouvy dedicated race thread

I rode that route last Friday afternoon. An enjoyable route.

Rouvy 20% of 3 months discount codes.

CHREKO20 (worked for my 12 month subscription)

GIUCRI20

 

Currently USD us the cheapest. With the code I paid R1600 (R133 per month) for the family plan.

A bit longer than that, the longest is about 1 km long

 

For you a piece of cake

So....

 

I always seem to find myself drifting back to Rouvy.

 

I canned my Zwift subscription hoping to use the free version of RGT during the summer months. But on Saturday (it was bucketing down here) try as I might I just could not finish an RGT ride. Stelvio wouldn't load and the Pienza route. Ag. Sorry I just can't with RGT. And most of the roads and workouts aren't free anymore. I did try.

 

Also while I'm having a whinge I don't think Zwift's gradient is correct at all. Yes I do have the trainer difficulty set to 100%.

 

I can't do a 6% climb in the big ring IRL but I can in Zwift. I don't like that.

 

 

Aaanyways. Back to Rouvy it is. I'm not loving the AR app and no ANT but I guess they'll get that right in a little while. I'm 600km behind my cycling yearly goal so I'm gonna be on the pancake flat stuff for the next little while.

Duane, I would say its your turn to organize a hub race but my trainer is being converted and have not received the parts yet.

? ANT + is available. Have you updated the App? Its in the Information button.

I'd be keen to join a race / ride but I'm also 100% sure I'm getting my ass handed to me. 

 

Still keen though.

I am in next time round, hopefully the Kickr is ready and Escom does not decide against it again. Canyonville is a Nice flat one.

HA! You see. You made me look again.

[LongDonkey]

I eventually fond the update button on teh Rouvy AR app as i was annoyed they were not providing the tech support. It was always on the old Rouvy and i wanted to have my HR stuff recorded, although it makes no real difference to any of the Rouvy data they store. Hope you have what you need.

[Duane_Bosch]

Hope you have what you need.

Thanks.

 

Ja I just assumed it wasn't available.

 

I'm not doing any "training" at the moment so I'm just doing good ol rides with youtubes on a second screen for distraction. Doing pancake flat stuff. The Ironman rides are nice for that type of thing. Trying to keep my watts below 2 watts per kg just ticking along.
