i should learn to keep my mouth shut - gonna fit a boot on the back wheel so i can kick myself on each peddle

Shall we bump you slightly to start with Adski at 11.0 or John18 at 13.0, or in the middle at 12.0?

OK, I've updated you to 12.0. Hope you have a good ride.

You could take it in turns, and you have your go at 5pm on Saturday?

Geoff

Ah, ok didn't realise there was a re-run! I'll do that, and it will give me a chance to see thursday's ride and plan a strategy

I've recorded a little video to show the starting procedure for the Handicap race

https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjmbx89e1lktk5h/Bkool Indoor 03_02_16 16_30_24.mp4?dl=0

Please ignore the Warning dialog after entering the password, as it was recorded on a computer without the ANT+ dongle, you shouldn't see this.

The Video shows selecting the live tab, applying handicap in the advanced filter to find the session, seeing the time underway counter and entering the password, then Clicking No to start the session when the underway counter gets to your handicap (in this case 15.0 minutes).

Did you take a tent with you?

One thing to bear in mind, when you search for the live session you have to look for handicap or chase (as it has to be part of the session name. I have updated the instructions to reflect this!

Thanks for the prompt Adam.

Would i be able to join this race tonight?

I have not enetered any rides so far on the chaingang group so this will be my first "outing" so to speak.

I am rated at fitness level Amateur Level 9 but don't have any times for this ride as i have never done it before, so will i just turn up at 8pm and join from there?

Any help appreciated for a mere chaingang virgin........

You're very welcome Alfie.

Amateur 9 is good fitness level, you definitely shouldn't be starting at 8pm! The Handicap system means the faster riders start later, if you read through the instructions at the start of this thread here Chain Gang Handicap Race and watch this video https://www.dropbox.com/s/gjmbx89e1lktk5h/Bkool Indoor 03_02_16 16_30_24.mp4?dl=0 you should get a good idea how to jump in at the appropriate Start Time.

As you complete handicap sessions, we get a better idea of your potential and tune your Handicap, so for the first run we have to guess where to start you, without giving you an unfair advantage or disadvantage.

I suggest we start you mid table, how about starting with Insomnia (Amateur 5) at 9 mins 30 secs Underway (i.e. roughly 8:09:30 pm)?
