Well, if I wasn't aware enough before of my lack of riding over the last months that's brought it home. 44:30 for me, what happens now, do I get thrown out of the club?

I'm proving my strongest rider status yet again. The foundation supporting all the riders above me :cry:.

The sooner I get the classic repaired the better. Position will not change though.

The numbers being produced by the pro in bkool have carried over into BRVR :sad:. I was getting similar numbers, 0-10w difference, between my classic and vectors when riding BRVR. Now with the pro I'm looking at better than 60w difference, above the vectors, :banghead:.

The result, a 15 minute improvement in time over my previous effort. 56m01.

Wow.
Is it possible your vectors are under reporting watts?
I will not say no at this time because I've not had the kickr on a long session to do a comparison. However the readings have been consistent to the classic. My Sugarloaf ride, today, on the Vectors showed about 190-195 avg. My previous ride, done on my classic, was a 200w avg, I don't use the vectors as a sensor in BRVR only the trainer.

I'll have a go at a ride tomorrow on the Kickr and see what happens. :unsure:

Edit :- Now posted in the main bkool thread for a wider audience :eek:

Mmm. Ok. As long as I didn't seriously fubar. The readings between the vectors (on the edge) and kickr (on bkool) are about 5w different on the LtoB session I have just done on bkool. I only completed 45km of the 90 but I'd had enough today.

I'll do the last few plan sessions I have remaining and the 3 LEJoG stgs on the Pro then cut over to the kickr.

I have a question or two though. Some info first. In bsim the kickr shows twice. Once as a Wahoo Kickr and once as a Wahoo Fitness ANT+Trainer. I did the LtoB session having selected the Wahoo Kickr option and a warm down descent that I did was with the Fitness option selected. Is there a management difference between the two options? I ask because I was expecting some serious resistance, more than the pro can or will give, but it was not there. Any ideas or clarifying info?

I'd like to thank my lack of commute home, my lack of a wet tyre thanks to a commute home which caused slippage above 200w and the fact I didn't have to jump off with about 2 miles to go because my drink was out of reach :blush: for my rapid improvement.

Why, why, why did I let myself get lured into this? :cry:

And....
Damn you, What a splendid effort @Mugshot but I couldn't have found another two seconds if my life depended on it.
I saw your post and thought "Bloody Hell that's a bit tight!", I had to scan back up to double check my time :laugh:
Mind, this was me approaching that final shitty climb;

And this was me when I got over it;
