I really like the ability to do match ups on Explorer although I find a lot of people have their microphones turned off.... I'm wondering if this is purposeful or if they just don't know about the chat feature. I've been able to connect with a few people and I find it really enhances the experience and often am chatting with someone in another country, which is very cool. I feel like it would be great to arrange rides ahead of time and "meet up"... is there any way to do this? Perhaps just by posting on here...

When we enabled matchups by default we disabled the microphone by default. This makes it easier to find people but as you mentioned many are not aware they could chat.
As far as arranging times to ride with folks I would recommend the Facebook group it's very active and you may find someone who's riding time lines up with yours.

If I may add some feedback to the shared rides -- JimHenry joined me on a ride today, which was a nice surprise. What happened after he left though was an inability to turn my trainer back on. I had to exit Explorer all together and start a new ride for the ability to turn the trainer back on.
That said, other than that, I really liked the experience of a shared ride. It's definitely different.
Happy riding!
Eric
