IndieVelo - Monday Mixer Races - Loop the Loop - custom finish - scratch race

Ludvig's weekly race is getting popular. This was Pen 1. Three other pens raced as well so all levels of ability get competitive races. A lot of really enjoy these punchy courses.
Three of my teammates joined which was excellent. Fine work by Jan, Julien, and Even and of course the other racers making it a fun tactical race.

How can you tell which ones are bots? I find it hard to know if there is anyone around me that is real. Makes it difficult to chat and try to build camaraderie. I am new to Indievelo so don't know anyone yet.

[@robfmiller2821]

Welcome! That is the number 1 newcomer question when you start with indieVelo. Very intentionally the developer has kept that ambiguous as the bot AI develops I suspect he would be thrilled if none of us ever knew who was human and who was a bot :) You'll get used to it. In the pacer groups there are almost always humans riding along with you. I still get fooled now and again and have tried to chat up bots :) Once you join enough events regularly you'll stat seeing the same people and building cameraderie.

Maybe you should hire a editor and a editor that can do the thumbnail!!

Oh I'd need an entire team to do a proper job with all this. I have no idea what I'm doing but it is fun to mess around with it. Capturing 2-way race radio is my next goal for upping my game here. My teammates are so much more entertaining than I am :)
