Get you at clubhouse 

Cheers Darryl, hopefully get yous down at the ferry.

Not done Cowal with you yet... what’s standard route... C11 included?  Is there a cafe stop too?  Hoping to fix front tyre tomorrow so I’m provisional for this

Plan to join, health permitting.
Andy - will be in touch tomorrow afternoon as might go via Largs if I'm out

 
 

Thanks for this information Billy, very helpful. I’m going to try for 7 days - probably Friday to Friday. Will know for sure in the next few weeks.

Should work, although i've not tried it with komoot.
There is also a manual way to do it too - download the gpx file, connect garmin to computer then drag and drop the file into a folder called 'new files'. Disconnect garmin then next time you turn it on the route should appear under courses.
 
 

Don’t know how to do this, but if you do find out I’ll be very interested to learn how.

You can obtain a GPX route file on https://www.bikemap.net/ & convert it to a ZWO file to ride on Zwift via https://whatsonzwift.com/convert/
Made a nice Etape Caledonia Zwift route although I did only 30 miles of it😋

thanks Darryl,
thats encouraging... at the moment the option is only available for a 1 x groupset, so the front chainging wouldnt be an issue.. all said, i'd rather have a 2 x groupset, so am gonna email them to see of its possible.... hope your're having a great holiday

Hi All
During Lockdown I’ve tried most of the various Apps - Tacxx, BigRingVR, RGT and Zwift. Only RGT allows uploading your own routes. But, for me it was a faff because you need 2 apps running and you need a subscription.
So, rather than trying to replicate Arran, why not choose  a course on Zwift and have a target time/effort  to complete it? For example it could be a group ride with a leader who has calculated that to meet the target we will, say, ride at 3w/kg to keep things in order. Happy to get into it in a couple of weeks. Certainly could be something to consider for the winter.

2 riders today:
Me 16:47 (another PB)
Colin 17:20

Wow David. That’s very kind. I’ll be in touch. 

Ha ha. I was just heading there as I passed you this afternoon!

This popped up in my iphone memories today from a ride over the rest and be thankful 3 years ago - thought a few of you may like to see.

Gone but not forgotten!
 

Fantastic Karen. What an achievement.!

No words required. Received this magnificent photo today from an SA vet who quite understandably would love to become a DA vet 🤣

Discord was working fine. Ride was good until the game stopped on my laptop. Continued a bit using the App, but in the end had to reboot and ride elsewhere. 
 
cheers 

I have set up a Discord chat thing for tonight if anybody wants to join download the app and put up your user name and I will add you  
But remember I am not a tech person 

50 minute group ride starting at 6pm sticky draft on so no-one will be dropped for this.
Remember to follow Johnstone Wheelers on the companion app if you want an invite
Before the event is due to start make sure you have opened up the game and can see your avatar and bike - you can ride about on any course or just sit waiting. When it is 5 minutes to the start of the meetup a dialogue box will appear on the bottom left of the screen  - select that and it will take you to the start of the group ride.
Course is Innsbruck Lutscher which starts at the top of the mountain...unfortunately once we descend it will straight back up

How the excuses have evolved. I would have won but:
- my forks snapped and I had to find a blacksmiths to fix em
- my derailleur jammed
-  my chain snapped
- I punctured
- my heart rate monitor said I was on my max 
- my power meter said I couldn’t attack 
- my internet connection failed 
😄😀
 
 

Was the first time using it the other night. Its pretty simple.
Get everyone to download it and set up a username.
One person creates a server (call it whatever you want)
That person then adds everyone as a friend and adds them to the server (you will need everyone's username incl #number)
Once on the server if you swipe right on the app you can join voice channel - good to go
 
P.S Not essential but there is an option to change what the microphone picks up. As normal discord has it "Voice activated" there is an option for "Push to speak". If you leave as standard there is a good chance you will hear some heavy breathing. If you change to push to speak a button will appear in the voice channel which you can push every time you want to speak- it wont pick up any noise unless its pressed 
 
Need any help etc can let me know
