Probably not helped that MS announced that the free tier was getting advanced features

We're finding teams a bit hit and miss but yeah, no video for now. We're advising our customers to avoid video too.

One useful addition for us has been guest users so we can allow users from other orgs into our teams.

I had a bkool trainer and found the software a bit crap to be honest. Buggy and at times a bit hard to connect.

Some companies (travel and insurance companies) are hiding behind force majeure clauses in their t&cs. For some it’s there and others it isn’t. Depends how much time you want to spend arguing the toss.

Luxembourg are announcing a state of emergency. Not considerably different measures than already announced except they’ve closed parks and other meeting places.

In “dickhead of the week” news; a medical shipment for the country was hijacked so the army (both of them) are now guarding all medical shipments here

I had some travel booked and the agent just told me "pandemics aren't covered, sorry"

Got most of my money back due to good customer service though.

I got a 1o quid BKool trainer mat. Easier to wipe clean than the floor (well, I can hose it off) and it absorbs a bit of noise. But I'm in a garage so less concerned about noise then when I had it in flats.

At a friend's workplace the CEO had dinner with a couple of people who've since been tested and diagnosed with it. The CEO kept coming to work "because I don't feel ill".

The borders are semi-closed like Germany and France from what colleagues are telling me.

Anyone got any recommendations sellers for bulk cable and outer purchases? I've sort of committed to overhauling bikes for people and teaching a bit of basic maintenance and it's probably easier if I have all that stuff on hand rather than trying to recommend somewhere to go.

Elite does some decent and not super expensive ones... still not cheap though

The Belgians definitely don't... we don't in Luxembourg either but at least it's a very small, relatively well off country. Isn't stopping small business owners having to consider firing their staff at the moment though

TBH, even if government does cancel stuff, I don't see people being much happier. In most of Europe, restaurant/bar owners are shitting it about the future. Two told me that unless they can turn their bars into some sort of delivery service they're dead in the water.

could be good if we could actually sign up... seems broken for now.

Germany has, without warning, closed its borders with Luxembourg for all non-essential travel (effectively work and delivery I assume), France seems about to follow suit. Here all schools etc are shut, bars and cafes shut, restaurants are delivery-only, and most companies have some form of working from home (we were about 4 at work today) but the supermarket panic seems to have stopped.

Lucky, I guess, that it's a very small country and it's all a bit more manageable as even draconian measures can't impact THAT many people. It's sunny though and I've seen loads of people out walking or cycling in the forests and countryside so it's not all negative.

End of days it is then. To be fair, the Belgian reaction seems to have been everything is normal and then “shut it all down”

I’d be interested in the lenses too in that case.

For me that’s closer to anti than close to porn

There is gravel in zwift already. And mtb.

Going through loads of pads in winter isn’t that unusual. Went through a set on one ride at a very rainy passportes du soleil loop a few years back.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’ve limited it to March at the moment. I’d imagine that it will need to be end of days for the Ronde to be cancelled.

Silca has a sale on dealer returned samples. Cheapish for their stuff.

Well not everyone then :)

Luckily entries are closed for 2020 so it gives me this year to lose some timber and a winter to avoid putting it back on. Planning for 2021 though.

Oh wait - there's two versions of it. June is too soon though so same result

Everyone packed really light. I guess you're rarely far from civilisation and places to kip in that case?

That looks great. In honesty I don't know that I could handle the climbing but I'm quite tempted to give it a go as it seems a little more doable than something like the TCR
