Bravo Mr. @Whorty - two stages today and both now in the bank Sir.. :thumbsup:

I did two this aft as well and I am now on the banks of Loch Ness. The Fort Augustus climb is absolutely brutal and my advice to you all - Don’t do it as a second ride, do it in a one’r.......

Not far to go noo....

No cycling tomorrow as I’m taking HID up to Oban for the day... ..mmmmm... fish n chips... nom nom nom.. :hungry::hungry:
stage 16 was a bit brutal for a second ride too .... 17% and 12% sections. Ouch. Tired now.

I had intended to do 35 and 35b today. However things got in the way so no riding today. Tomorrow is BRVR day. I am aimimg for Palmer Lake, only 50 miles :bicycle:, wish me luck.
Palmer lake is fun. I did it in 2 chunks due to an interruption from HID ... Must do it again and get it in one.

:secret:.........:secret::laugh:..........:secret::laugh::rofl:.................:secret::laugh::rofl::scratch:..............................no 'kin way do I have an FTP of 262 watts :blink::huh::ohmy:.

@Jim Brown might want me to stop using this pro.:unsure: :whistle:

I think I need to repair my classic and get back to using it. I know it's out but I'm not surprised @bobinski sold this pro to me :unsure: :gun: :banghead: :surrender:.

Still, it has changed my rating to Am 2 :wahhey: :blush: :headshake:.

Where's that emoji keyboard when you need it :cry:

Cruising @320w is just not on and I mean cruising/trudling. The garmin was showing 150-180w, bsim on the pro 300-340w. At one stage it was 400+ watts on bsim :blink:. It's no longer I'm Spartacus, it's I'm Froome :headshake:

:rofl:
Has it not been used in 15 months?!?
Best turn it off and on.
How is it in brvr?

I did that and it stayed the same :sad:.

I really don't want to try it there. I enjoy, :unsure:, the struggle on the climbs with the classic. Using the pro with it like this would be a waste of good BRVR routes.
I've got to sort the classic out, probably Saturday I'll give it a go. Or maybe pre-order some kit from Wahoo :unsure:

Bit of the infamous bkool fairy dust? attached is file for one of my last rides on the pro in bkool in nov 2016 showing a normalised power of 265w.
I would persevere and you may see it reset itself. Or find you are a bit stronger than you thought? 10 min in brvr should tell you too?

More like Miracle Grow. I've been running a power meter along side the classic and there's about a 10-20w difference dependent on course. No way should I have a 100w+ difference. The Pro gives me a work out but not anything like the classic. I'll give it another go tomorrow and try to sort the classic Saturday.
