Brilliant! Glad to hear you're up and running! !It looks like I was logged out of the simulator site somehow. Finding time to squeeze sessions in is always an issue so didn't recognise it. I had the Bkool site to which I was logged into, which listed my scheduled rides but wouldn't let me access them, because I wasn't logged into the simulator. I was in the process of doing a password reset also, which may have not registered as quickly as I would have expected. However today I was finally successful. Scheduled a ride called Alto de Dima and completed it in just over 50 mins, which isn't great, and progressed to amateur 2 level. It takes a lot to get me on a turbo for anything north of 45 mins. Add in the 10 minute warm up and I was on there for a full hour. Worth the hassle? Yes on first impressions. Thanks to all for helpful advice.
Thanks! As usual with CC people have been more than helpful, for which I am very grateful. When it works it really is a good piece of kit. First time I've attempted a long climb. Round here they tend to be short and steep chalk hills, so it has enabled me to have a completely different cycling experience.Brilliant! Glad to hear you're up and running! !

That's what I'd call a warm up!Glad to hear you got it up and running... Finally :-)
The 10 min warm up? You do realise that during it if you stop pedaling the count down time then starts to count down from 10 seconds? Personally I find 10 mins a bit too long 2 or 3 mins is the absolute boredom threshold met for me, just take it steady for the next few minutes as you get going
Mine was a mile. Then I started mucking about with ramping up the cadence or power levels or both every 2 minutes. 10 minutes just flys by now and I feel I am getting better over the full distance of a session as I am not having to get my heart rate to where it needs to be in the session as I was there before it started.Glad to hear you got it up and running...
