I want to propose a race this evening. If it works well and is attended by more than one or two folks, maybe we can make it a regular thing? I posted this in the “when are you riding?” thread, but figured I’d post separately so that more folks might see it.
Proposed format:
–Log in a minute or two before 7:00 pm EST (choose the “just ride” option so we’re all dropped in at the same point)
–1 lap “neutral roll out” to get a bit warmed up. Everyone rides together at a reasonable pace. No attacking or riding too fast!
–race starts once we start lap 2, lasts for an additional 5 laps.
So, we would do a total of 6 laps – 1 “neutral” and 5 more in race-mode.
Anyone interested? If so – see you tonight at 7. If you have suggestions for a different format, please post them!
I love it but I’ll be a morning (ET) racer. +1 for 6am races. On a related note, as for the mechanics I think it might make the most sense to have a start time and full-on race, letting people handle warmups themselves. That way everyone can warm up and then sit idle 20m before the start line, and at 6am it is game ON.
Hey Andrew - I had that same problem last night. Did you see any AIs? Was G.Master in your rider list?
I was on tonight and saw you login. You were in my rider list, although we were on opposite sides of the course. and never crossed paths. I wasn’t interested in doing the race, just wanted some good steady riding.
