What are the plans for the older non-AR routes?

I was looking for some older routes but I noticed the non-AR filter option seems to have been removed so I can't find the routes now. Is there any way to get to them now? The ones I have set as favourites I can still get to and I would assume if anyone has the direct links they can too, has anyone indexed these routes?

2018 CX-3 charging system malfunction message

This error has started appearing on a UK 2018 Mazda CX-3 with the 150bhp two litre petrol engine and AWD, I think the car has done around 40,000 miles.

The error first showed yesterday after driving for about half an hour just before I was going to stop, the car started fine and drove home without an error. The car was out today and at around 50 miles it showed the error but it cleared after stopping and starting the car.

I've had a look at the car after that trip with a diagnostics tool and it's showing two codes in the powertrain control module:

P2502:00-28 Charging System Voltage

P0A8D:00-28 14 Volt Power Module System Voltage Low

I've been having a good dig through this reddit and a number of people who've had this issue replaced the battery which resolved it. This car was having this error last year and it had the battery replaced at that point after which it disappeared until today. At that point there were other noticeable issues with the car that suggested a battery problem like the door locks not responding unless using the physical key but that's not happened yet at the moment.

There's a few comments about problems with the belt and that it's possibly slipping (or in some cases gone) which seemed to match the symptoms more, I've had a look at the engine running and the belt 'looks' ok but that may not mean much.

What I was thinking of doing was next time I'm out in the car to have the diagnostic scanner running showing the battery voltage (I couldn't seem to find any other relevant data pits in the PCM), are there any other values to monitor?

The problem with taking the car to the mechanic in its current state is that aside from the two DTCs, the car is behaving fine so I think they'd struggle to find a cause.

Problems with Rouvy at the moment? European, community and weekly challenges all not working

I need to finish the European challenge today and had stages 9-12 to do, I completed stage 9 which went fine and moved onto stage 10 which I completed. However when I returned to the European challenge it was still showing I needed to do stage 10 although it was marked as yellow showing I had done the route now. I tried restarting the device and Rouvy but still claimed I needed to do it so I did the route again and it's exactly the same, still says I need to do it to progress.

I looked at the community challenge and noticed it had only counted the miles from stage 9, not the two stage 10 attempts plus it's the same for my weekly goals which only show distance and elevation from the stage 9 ride.

I've tried loading Rouvy on another device and it's showing exactly the same. Rouvy does show all the rides and they're synced to Strava.

I assume something is broken on Rouvy's end and there's not much I can do but thought I'd check since today is the last day to complete the challenge.

Outdoor riding and the total mileage challenge

Looking at the challenge page, it says outdoor rides count as well however I tried a short ride last month which shows in the Rouvy calendar but it didn't add any miles to the challenge. Is there anything else to be aware of to be able to count outdoor miles?

I can't really use my trainer at the moment so trying to see if I can get around that with an outdoor ride

If you won the 10,000 euro bike, what would you choose?

Before anyone says anything I know the chances of winning the 10,000 euro bike in the current mileage challenge are next to nothing but I think it's fun to think about.

If you won the prize, what bike would you choose? I love all my current bikes so would be tempted between a 'pretty' bike to treat myself or something more functional.
