2 minutes of spread after that is not bad. Considering the variation in ability

ABSOLUTELY! I will attempt to simply take control of beverage and food procurement, for the Saturday night. The rest is all Bill!
I nearly didn't make it today. Bkool froze on my warmup and wouldn't restart so I had to reboot. Dropped in with 20 seconds to Spare and just enough Time to spin the pedals. And then there were 3! Frigging hell, where was 7 of, sorry, Bridgy? Now I was gonna have to keep up with team blue except in my rush I hadn't put the right kit ona server disconnect and a dropped chain meant that bill and LBHIF had to wait for me which was much appreciated
and to top it off my HR hit 196
at the end. All worth it though. Well done team Blue!
Well done Bob. You put in a cracking effort. Funnily enough I think when you lost your connection both me and Lars thought we'd lost you for good but then you appeared a minute or two later only 3 or 4 seconds behind so we were back in the game.
Our collective hive mind executed the plan to an acceptable level.
I've got to believe there is still a little more as my heart rate didn't peak out. I need to get over this perception(in my tiny mind) that I can't sustain 300+watts for very long.

Lars. Got what you meant about dynastream in that it is what my turbo was showing as.
I did a ride on Saturday and I hadn't switched on my turbo so I got the 'you have no trainer connected warning' so I switched it on waited a short while and pressed the continue button.
It was a warm up descending ride and for a change I was going downhill pretty quick for me.
When I finished the session I got some odd prompt about not having a virtual turbo and thought nothing much of it.
What I think happened is that because no turbo was originally connected BSim saw the Cadence Sensor as a non-virtual trainer and registered it as my turbo on my home page and in the leader boards.

Yeah, I gambled I would be energised back in so pedalled as fast as I could to not lose touch. The 2 of you draft really well and I felt I was kind of getting in the way. It was good of you both to wait at times for me to catch up.

sorry for the balls up tonight . After a tutorial on the headset from kipster on saturday i was confident tonight but couldn't get mic to work until i changed to different headset bkool was saying no ant was connected so i had to reboot , set off late trying to put in a decent third time just for it to crash then when i tried to do it with ghosts they wouldn't show and somehow it had switched to solo mode - i didn't even know it had a solo mode ! but i SHOULD be able to work it for next time - it was good to put a voice to a team member though
It was. I wasn't entirely sure what team you were on or what position you were within your team. Knowing I was #3 for team white, I hit the gas after I passed you and it looked like you might be trying to settle in behind me. My goal was to create enough of a gap that I'd have a fighting chance to hold you off over the last mile or so. Turns out I didn't need to put myself through that pain. It was fun regardless.

@bobinski I got the problem with your avatar strobing again, as you can see in the recordings.
What kind of connection do you have to your network? Is it only me that gets the strobing, or does it look the same to the others?
I guess since you disappeared for a time, there must have been some connections problems, and it carries on offline until it can reconnect.
I suppose it is not able to upload your position to the bkool servers frequently enough, so others get your position updating jerkily and hence the strobing.
If others saw you normally, then it must be a more complex issue and probably down to a bkool bug!
