Re: Upcoming Challenges
thanks for the timely reminders Jon.
Sadly, as a weekend for me, there will be no erging (not that I've done much at all this season anyway)

55 year old Lwt (in ability and in weight) trying to develop a technique that doesn't cause hysterics and continue to row regularly.

Re: Upcoming Challenges
The Meterboard has been a bit over generous on the Juneteenth challenge by the looks of it. Iβll take a look.
EDIT - Now fixed I think.

60 yrs old, 82kg, 5' 10"
43Mm metres rowed. Re-setting the bar much lower now. Getting too old and brittle for this malarky

Thanks for letting me know Plummy.
The Meterboard only updates distances once an hour and challenges once every 3 hours (the last part is from memory). You're black circle is there now Plummy.
To be honest, these timings go back to a time when processing power was a rare commodity. I'll have a look at increasing the frequency when I get a chance.
EDIT - the icons were updating every four hours. I think I have changed things to update the board every 30 minutes and icons every hour.
