Bkool up to its tricks again...114kmh UP an 8-9% gradient. Now I know that there's all this talk of 'technological fraud' but I do not have a hidden motor. Promise!"

As for all this talk of HRMs, clearly I don't need one. With results like that I'm obviously superhuman. 220 - age gives me an 'easily' exceeded 161bpm. BKOOL reports 163bpm max tonight, with only 82% effort, and I will often exceed 170bpm.

(BTW, I use an old Bryton monitor, connected to a £4 belt off eBay - works just fine, connecting to my Garmin and the BKOOL/BSIM without any problems.)

P.S. You do realise what Geoff's going to do with your handicap for next time now don't you.....

You are a very bad man for stage 3 . I'll get blamed for that as well

Yeah thought stage 3 might be interesting to try. Didn't realise it was one of yours though!

It's not, but the similarity to the boxers one from the last league is .

You're getting quicker/stronger every ride Adam - whatever you're on, can I have some please?!

I was just fortunate it was a climb, better on those than a flat race. But I'm quite sure Geoff's sadistic streak will level the playing field further yet.....bring it on! That is the closest I have come to being sick, but wasn't quite, which suggests to me, there must be more to give. Next run, I will have a nice big Gorilla bucket close to hand.
Most stressful thing was trying to get two very uncooperative children to bed, in time to make my start.
Camlo walked through the door, and got hit in the face by a pair of kids pyjamas, she timed if to perfection.
And I did ask her Gail, she doesn't keep her bras in the garage either....so I have no idea whose they are.

That was horrible, made worse by a false finish I should pay more attention next time so I know where the end is
Max heart rate of 178

From where I was slouched it looked like you finished just fine!!

Bkool sync to Strava's stopped working again I see

Is this a common thing and will it pick up and synch the rides that weren't synched ?

 

[bobinski]

Ahh, but I feared you were crouched not slouched and ready tot pounce!

Ahhh so that's where I left them

Slightly different view than Geoffs. I think it is Add catching up.

Nearly being sick due to the ridiculously competitive nature of this crowd is not uncommon no. With regards the Strava link, it is unlikely to pick up historically missed synced rides, but you can easily manually transfer any that didn't get picked up.
I imagine they will correct this in their own good, laid back Spanish time.
