BigRingVR - The new leader of the pack?

[ibooij]

@Srinivasa the CPU is an i7, but what graphics card do you use?

We're investigating how can use the hardware video decoding functionality of different CPUs better, so video decoding will be faster. The trouble is that that hardware support differs throughout the CPU releases. We already support high quality hardware decoding on modern NVidia cards, not on Intel yet, so you'll see issues on Intel integrated video hardware earlier. However, we always try to adapt the video to work well on that hardware as well, by "playing" with decoder bit rates, frames rates etc.

How? No. WHY did I decide to do Palmer Lake?

. About 8k from the end my legs just went no more. The bad bit is that it is the steepest section of the whole 83km, going on for about 6k. I also started getting an issue with the ball of my right foot.

New shoes have been ordered, shimano rp3's, I'm hoping it is just an insole issue and I can order some at a later date and have the r088's as spare/back ups.

Still a nice ride to do.

One slight issue, I had my first video buffer warning. About 2h11 into the ride for about 10-15 seconds. No more warnings after that.

Great effort TB

Yeah, it's a nice ride, but some tough bits, for something that is 'flat' compared to a lot of the rest of the rides.

I did an IRL ride today, 67 Miles, on my commuting 'Tank' legs gave up about 10 miles from the end, was just dropping down the gears to keep the legs turning

Putting it down to dehydration and a lack of food. ...

I was trundling or so I thought. I didn't realise how much of it was 'up' as such. I knew the front half was, but the back half has a lot of 2-300mtr >4% climbs that sting the legs.

I can't have that excuse. Plenty of fluids and food available I just may not have had enough.

Platte River next weekend?

I reckon the new Amstel Gold series gives a really good "bang for the buck" in terms of a great workout in a relatively short time. It's sort of like interval training. I just did latest one - AG3 - and the 3 climbs all have magenta coloured gradients... not long but exceedingly sharp

By that's some going TB - well done. I think the longest I've managed on the turbo in one session is 90 minutes.

I think I'll be leaving that one for now, and build up to it with some of the shorter rides

So.... it looks like I’m in business! @ibooij I’ve sent you an email but I just thought I’d post up here as well to thank you for your effort so fix my issues to quickly. It seems like my atom now works perfectly in bigringvr. I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or not yet because I’m sure it’s going to hurt a bit more from now on .

Should we start up a goats league on bigringvr? Everyone welcome to join of course. It could be fun if we had a spread sheet with times on it. Nothing too serious.

I'll be up for that Tommy

Oh sorry didn’t I mention? You and Berty ain’t invited!

@TurboTommy Thanks for posting here! This fix/workaround will be in the next version, which we'll release early next week. @TurboTommy, you can keep on using this test version until we release the next one. If anybody else with a Wattbike Atom also wants to join before the next release, please let us know at bigringvr@bigringvr.com and we'll send you the link.

Brilliant. I’m thinking whatever other riding or training plans we do between now and the summer. If we do one climb every week it should be excellent conditioning.

1 a week is a good idea any more then it can get a bit difficult time wise, are we going to have an epic such as long and hard or keep it simple with similar length rides
