ok, will do! I usually get the notifications on my Garmin 935 after my bike ride in the morning... I need to just hop onto these rides... but still doing the outdoor thing... do you all ever do longgggg rides in Zwift?
@Patricia Rosen I don't know what qualifies as "long", but on Saturdays, I have been combining the EN Cruise N Crush ride with that day's Tour de Zwift, for a total of four hours pedaling on the bike with a ten-minute break in the middle. And of course, @Brian Hagan did much of his training for last year's Ultraman FL on Zwift. I'm sure he put in a number of 6-8+ hour days during the winter.
Finally, check out what @rob Sabo is doing this week - a bike Camp solely on Zwift:
Simple Forums suggestion - make the timeout a lot longer. I frequently find that I am reading a thread (Stryd this morning) and the thread has a link and I go and read the link and then I go back and BAM! I'm logged out of EN. I'd actually really love it if the timeout was all day ;-)
I posted this in GroupMe's today...but putting here as well. I have a meeting tonight for the School Committee and can't do the call. I am pushing it to Tuesday the 12th at 8:30pm. Very sorry for the last minute change, I only found out this AM...but I'll have some outline of stuff for you all to look at before we talk!
I have been organizing the notes and feedback into a single document, with the understanding that we aren't going to blow up EN and drop six figures on some crazy architecture. 🤣 There are some great Comments that I think can really chance how we interact as a Team.
Feel free to add / edit the doc, just please use a different color font (John is Blue, Scott is red whatever) so I can follow along.
@Coach Patrick - so let me get this straight, we are trying to have a conversation about how to get more important conversations to happen in Les Forums, but YOU go to the GroupMe to post the re-schedule FIRST? 😨
@Coach Patrick I will not be available until after 7:30 PM MST/9:30 EST, so I guess I miss this. My thoughts remain:
• Re-name GroupMe Zwift Chat to EN Chatter, and use it as the Dashboard had been intended to be used.
• Use ZEN GroupMe for all chatter Zwift, including scheduling Zwift events.
• Eliminate the Dashboard; use the EN home as the landing page to easily get to: Forums/Wiki/GroupMe/PodCasts, to a maximum of SIX options, in just one click, without going thru Menus.
• Assign a small group to review the Wiki, with an eye to eliminating double entry titles, removing old posts no longer relevant, and confirm the various ways to find info there
• Assign another small group to review the forum categories with an eye to reducing the number drastically. Open both the groups (4-5 people) to the entire membership, and have Coach P pick the people, and assign them their specific task(s).
• Also, the home page should retain the current menu, and be a place for announcements which are relevant for a future of 7-42 days.
• I don't think there's a magic way to increase the number of people who participate online. Those who lean that way eventually will, and those who don't, won't no matter what the prodding. At least that's my observation over the years.
The Team Calendar is now a Google Calendar (Community>Team Calendar, soon to be a homepage widget) that you can add to your own calendar.
