Team BKool CycleChat

[CXRAndy]

Geoff my performance improvement is down to using a bkool pro compared to my kickr. It is nice to know I am not as bad as I thought. This new found benefit won't last as I have to give it back at some point. But I will try and scare the front runners off the start line, maybe

CXRAndy was much lower down on the road, due to problems starting, and John18 pipped JLaw on the road, but when corrected for exact Start Time the positions were reversed.

Congratulations to Bill for going even faster, and good improvements for almost everyone, well done to all.

Did anyone get a fitness upgrade this time?

Geoff

HMMM somehow think I'm going to be punished for that one

Well done those who improved their times. I suspect harder to do with fewer riding so even more impressive. 10 seconds more for me but I had 2 clip less moments so I can cope with that. There's always the next ride

 

[AAAC 76C]

Well that's a relief - would have been quite ironic if one of the few times I got a nice stint of drafting going it was with someone who didn't even know I was there!

Sounds like marriage, if you know what I mean!

Next weeks Start Times are here... Chain Gang Handicap Race

Andy, don't forget to let me know when you switch back to the KICKR, as we should reassess your start times for this session.

Hopefully they will have fixed the bug with the acceleration profile!

just got out of the shower to find I now have for my effort a burst blood vessel in my eye!!

I have done that under different circumstances. I sneezed so hard, I farted and burst a blood vessel in my eye, I thought I had shat myself

Not so different from the last 100mtrs for me! I thought I'd shat myself too! Hahah

I hope I'm back guys ... ready to bring up the rear. Been a bad 2 months with work out of the country, then flu, then food poisoning, then working away again .... did only my second ride on 2 months tonight. Chaingang Mar/Apr ride 1 ... mostly downhill but boy am I sore now!

 

[Soarerv8]

Well that was embarrasing. 9 mins slower.

If you want to expel me I will understand.
Just dont send me to the caravan - especially if Soarerv's dog is there.

You wouldn't want to share it with him, the vet told him he has a weight problem and he is seriously p*ssed off.

 

[Soarerv8]

I think I could see everyone that was taking part, and yes sorry about the caravan threats, couldn't help myself. You were doing well there Bridgy, until Bill just switched it up a notch.
Soarer, you were going strong too, until I can only assume the tank started to run dry?
But it never ceases to amaze me how compelling these rides are to spectate.
Good effort guys, I actually didn't mind not participating tonight, nice to be in the stands for once. Just hope I don't catch Camlo's lurgy, it has really knocked her off her feet.
Roll on thursday! Looking forward to that one.

Since my bleating a few weeks ago about being a fat jaffa I have (unusually for me) been working quite hard at eating less than it takes to maintain my current weight. The outcome has been that I have lost weight but the side effect is is seems to be harder work converting fat to energy than the nice sugary stuff that used to be flowing through me. I therefore find I hit a wall of "mehhh" when I just find there is nothing there. Hopefully when I get round to lowering the weight a bit in Bkool it will make a bigger difference but am using that as an incentive to lose weight

Yep have seen the handicaps, he has got you in his sights!

Yay welcome back Whorty you have been missed. Don't try too hard on anything or Geoff will hammer you in the handicap sessions.

All part of my subtle plan to get you old buggers to take it a bit easier!

Not working though, is it?

 

[LBHIFI]

Well done Bill you took my veteran 2 record ya bugger!
Tidy finish Bert

Yeah, you were on fire Bill . Sorry I couldn't keep up with you, I was so tired that I considered bailing several times, both before and during the race. Jumped straight to bed after cool down.
I was actually expecting a little higher avg. HR with the watts you pumped out.
