Fitbull Posted April 9, 2020 Share Right tried to join the ride this morning but went nowhere fast, maybe I shouldn't have waited till 10 mins before the ride to join seeming as its the first time I have tried doing this. Will test it out on another ride during the day today and hope all goes well and I will be able to join the next one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted April 9, 2020 Share Thanks guys! Maybe I'm doing something wrong but for the life of me I can't ride at or above my FTP for anything but a few very short bursts ... I notice others seem to easily be able to and keep it up for a while [emoji848] HdB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecheng89 Posted April 9, 2020 Share I don't think Rouvy needs invites? You should be able to go to online races, find the race and join, even after the race has started. Will check, but that is how I have itUnless you check Password Required. Then it's essentially a closed event, and you can send the pw to your friends you've invited.

HdB Posted April 9, 2020 Share That route was a lot harder than I anticipated it to be...Thanks everyone who joined.Agreed! On that climb near the middle, I was thinking I started way too hard. The route is well edited though, no constant small elevation changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevovo Posted April 9, 2020 Share I had a good suffer session this morning. Started a bit too hard and paid for it. Will get better with time I believe. Time above FTP definitely hammer the legs after a while. These races will keep the fitness up during lockdown. Thanks guys. HdB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted April 10, 2020 Share Invites to friends are out. Follow link to enter: https://my.rouvy.com/onlinerace/live/19855Thanks, to many sharks teeth for me Looks hard, luckily tomorrow is my run day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HdB Posted April 10, 2020 Share Thanks, to many sharks teeth for meLooks hard, luckily tomorrow is my run dayI think it looks far more jagged than it really is, due to the profile being squished in a bit. For example, the seemingly monstrous climb just before 15km, looks like this when zoomed in: It rises just less than 30m in about 1.4km.
