got in today. two times in a row, a new record for me. looking forward to trying again next week. tomorrow is Vo2Max day.
Spelger - my routine - start up at least 30min ahead of time. Do some free riding before the event and ride around for my warmup - you should get taken to the event automatically 5min before if you're just riding around, but if you don't want to cut it that close you can join the event (blue 'join event' button should be in bottom left) and spin there.
I have not gotten a join event button before - but it's been a long time, and every time it was when I was in the last couple minutes before event start.
