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.

Meetups have a new feature that means non meetup riders are hidden so that should help things.

Was Zwift playing up for anyone else tonight?

I rode away from beacon at start despite only putting 130 watts out. Sat up after a bit until people caught up and actually found it harder behind the beacon but then I’d drift ahead again. On a couple of occasions I got dropped then had to hammer it to get back on before required power dropped again. 
 

zwift companion also wouldn’t let me see the map, dashboard or send messages. Decided to bin it in the end. Does Zwift maybe struggle when it’s busy?

When i tried to send a message on the companion app it was saying server error so i think they were having problems - probably due to how busy it is.

 I think they've changed the algorithm slightly for the sticky draft -  it used to be the case that those in front of the beacon were those working 'hardest' (what power they were doing in terms of what zone they are in rather than outright power) but it doesn't seem to be the case now.

I still can’t figure it out. On Monday I rode up the hill with Darryl & billy, ahead of the beacon and was working quite hard. Tonight I was trundling ahead of but working hard behind the beacon.
