Sadly this will be my last weekly update on Pace Partners! šŸ˜­ (This also means you get a bit of peace and quiet). More details on this in a bit. Firstly, in terms of the Running Pace Partners, we saw some fairly low numbers on the Mayan Bridge Loop. We think that this is because thereā€™s an almighty lead in, so we donā€™t get many people using the route and then joining the Pace Partners. So we wonā€™t do that one again! Next week we will be using 11.1 Ocean Boulevard. Because itā€™s cool. And you get to go on that bridge that my bike isnā€™t allowed on. In terms of Cycling Pace Partners, Eddy, Denise, Charlie and Bernadette had a lovely time on their holiday in France, but they canā€™t wait to get back to Makuri. Theyā€™ll be riding the following courses: Blazer (3.8 ) - Castle to Castle Chaser (3.0) - Neokyo All-Nighter Drops (2.0) - Neon Flats Echelon (1.0) - Sprinterā€™s Playground In terms of our Watopia Cycling Pace Partners, theyā€™ll be moving onto the next week of their 8 week rotation: Anquetil (4.2) - Volcano Flat Brevet (3.3) - Volcano Circuit Cadence (2.5) - Triple Flat Loops Draft (2.15) - Big Foot Hills Disc (1.8 ) - Three Little Sisters Diesel (1.5) - Tick Tock Duster (1.15) - Watopiaā€™s Waistband So, I mentioned that this was my last weekly update. This is because the Pace Partners are finally going to be taken out of Futureworks. Futureworks is where our features go when they have been made for the public, but theyā€™re not quite ready for a super full release. This will happen in September and weā€™ll be giving you some more details about this nearer the time. What this does mean though, is that e will have 8 Cycling Pace Partners in both Watopia and Makuri, and weā€™ll keep going with our 11 Running Pace Partners (using the same paces that they currently do). Both Watopia and Makuri Cycling Pace Partners will use the following paces: 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.2, 2.6, 3.2, 3.7 and 4.2. They will all weigh 75kg and will all be 1m75 in height. Their names will change. Except Coco, because, well, Coco. In Watopia we will use these 8 routes on rotation (same as now, but Iā€™ve moved them around a bit so you donā€™t have to do a hilly route with your favourite Pace Partner two weeks in a row): Volcano Flat, Three Little Sisters, Tick Tock, Watopiaā€™s Waistband, Flat Route, Big Foot Hills, Volcano Circuit, Triple Flat Loops. In Makuri they will use these routes: Temples and Towers, Neon Flats, Castle to Castle, Neokyo All-Nighter, Sukiā€™s Playground, Sprinterā€™s Playground, Wandering Flats, Flatland Loop. Where possible, Iā€™ve tried to make it so that if it is a hilly route in Watopia, Makuri will offer you a flat route at the same pace. This isnā€™t always possible, but Iā€™ve done the best I can. I know that these paces may not suit absolutely everyone, but I hope thereā€™ll be enough options to keep you going! In terms of Running Pace Partners, they will be on a 4 week rotation, with 5k Loop, Chilli Pepper, Thatā€™s Amore and 11.1 Ocean Boulevard. ---

> [@James\_Zwift](#): > > but Iā€™ve moved them around a bit so you donā€™t have to do a hilly route with your favourite Pace Partner two weeks in a row) Thanks for this, and if it means I can dip in and out of Watopia and Makuri to keep to the hillier routes that will work even better. The whole process to having PP moving out of futureworks has been great and the comms recently has been spot on. They canā€™t be everything to everyone but i for one think itā€™s been moved along at a good rate with decent updates and responses. I hope you pick up other areas of development now šŸ˜Š ---

> [@James\_Zwift](#): > > Echelon (1.0) - Sprinterā€™s Playground I have yet to see this BOT with anyone , It could of course be co-incidental but is there something capturing the metrics around those using these bots to distribute them appropriately Pretty sure I see the same sort of adoption levels for the others in the lower end of the scale. Whilst I understand there needs for there to be spread of performance as a baseline and it shouldnt just be most popular is how it works, if a bot is not being used at all it might be better used in another way ā€¦ ---

You say that Pace Partners are coming out of Futureworks sometime in September; is that when the PP weights are going to be equalised or is that happening as of now? ---
