Over the summer and fall I was busy with other things and didn't row, now I'm dealing with injuries and am not doing anyone a favor being on a team. How do I leave my team, leave the challenge? I can only find how to change teams.

You don't. You can't. All existing results remain forever.

If you don't row a challenge nothing bad happens and no one will notice you're missing.
OK Thanks.

Hello. Just noted on the Facebook group discussion started about a new ctc site, see below, just wondered what would happen to the existing site?

"🫵🫵🫵🫵 ATTENTION! 🫵🫵🫵🫵

Plans are underway to create an entirely new CTC site.

I’ll fill the community in with the relevant details at a later date, but for now, I’m looking for feedback as to what people would / would not like from a new site. Please comment below. Nothing ridiculous or stupid please. Thank you."

British Rowing are looking to take over the old http://c2ctc.com site.

So it's likely to get a better login, get a self-service password reset, move from MD5 encoded passwords (to something more secure). The login option should change so you don't have to scroll down 14,000 userids to find your one (if your name starts with a Z).

It's not a new site, it's a replacement for the existing site with 6500 days worth of web site upgrades.

You can post it here or by private message. Casey even follows the Faceborg route and passes things on.
You can wait up to 29th December to give the final notice - there's no rush.

Following six consecutive months of topping the leaderboard, Te Waka were edged out in the November challenge by Germania. Congratulations to Te Waka for maintaining the winning streak for so long and to Germania for breaking it.

The Diamonds produced an extraordinary flotilla of 72 boats at this longer distance. Great stuff!

Future Challengers:
January: Mercian Fitness
February: PaddyPower
March: Germania

That's 60secs (ie 1 min) rest and not a minimum of 60 secs I'm guessing Ian?

Will make a massive difference if you start from a dead flywheel for each rep. Should have been specified.

Definitely. So the first rep could probably be the slowest one by default 😄

Wow! That's great news. I know over the years there have been a few offers of re-designing the website, but as they've been from teams (The Fitness Matters one WAS lovely) I guess it made it a little tricky to make it happen.

But British Rowing coming on board to do something with it can only lead to good things!! (Well, unless they get bored with their new toy, and it falls apart like the old Concept2 forum....
