Freezing or hiding golden beacon above head when leading a group ride

I sometimes have to create a group ride with a friend to be able to access courses that aren’t offered. Then I get this huge golden spinning thing above my avatar’s head that is very distracting. I would like an option to freeze it so it doesn’t spin or hide it completely. I know I am the lead. I don’t need a beacon to see where I am.

Better yet, of course, find a way for us to ride courses we want without creating a group ride.

Create the group ride, once the event starts have everyone exit the event without moving. You are now on the course, but no longer in the event, enjoy the ride.

Yeah, it’s a kludge, but it works.

No one comes. I create it, invite someone from my friends list, and ride. Are you saying I should quit the ride and then I will be able to ride the same course? Bc that is brilliant!

Don’t quit the ride, just exit the event. That’s how I got a lot of the “Event Only” badges when I was badge hunting (and how I still run inactive world routes).

Depending on which routes you are looking for, you may be able to use the My List feature instead of creating an event.

Interesting. I will try this out. Thank you so much!

Oh cool, thank you! I will check this out.

Have you just tried using first person view? Or do you still see the golden halo?

I would also like to get rid of the beacon in my leader view. I know i’m the leader/sweeper and don’t really need a 6-foot obnoxiously spinning high reminder blocking the view.
