Team BKool CycleChat

I think it's a setup problem so I'm going to be trying it s lot different tonight. Actually I'm going to follow Bob's advice with the higher tyre pressure and the raised front. I'll be knackered from yesterday but hopefully do a bit better.

You mean you are going to me with my own "advice"? No fair!

@Whorty welcome back, how about you start off with 43.5 Kg (95.8 pounds)?

Perfect - i'll give that a go tomorrow (too jet lagged today as only landed this morning) and see how that goes. Half my weight .... should make for an interesting ride!

Have had a big tea yet still lost about 50kg, result! Oddly my cycling clothes don't fit any better.

 

[Whorty]

Welcome back Whorty doing a re run at 8 if you are up for it?

Geoff will need to do some of his mathamagicianing but if he isn't about your power is similar to mine so a similar weight would probably be right (ish)

Bit jet lagged tonight, but hoping to have a go tomorrow sometime.

Warm-up is underway, please remember the start protocol, the Point of Interest should show at 0.1 miles (0.16 km).

Enjoy!

Well done jlaw

Well done jlaw

Indeed you were toying with me at the start

 

[bobinski]

Thanks for that Bob. I'm going to try similar psi to yours tonight and have the front raised to get more weight on the roller.

Sorry to see you go bill. At the beginning I was sneakily holding back a bit so I could latch onto you as a pacemaker. I thought if your plan worked ou might drag me to a faster time. Shameless, I know
It didn't work?
Bill, why don't you try manual rather than auto set up and see what happens?

Not sure I'll be doing that one again. Having had one attempt crash on me, an aborted second attempt I finally managed it albeit started late due to laptop needing a re-boot. Time not great but I think that's me done.

Well done, I'm afraid I lost connection with Bkool half way through recording it, and had to restart the PC to get it back, so recording in in two parts, with a gap in the middle...

More trying to see if I could get me legs out of the concrete they seemed to be stuck in and hoping a bit of drafting would save enough energy to finish strong -- it seemed to help in my re-run last night that bkoo lost.

The words of encouragement from BillS were helpful near the end.

Oh, and I'm sure I'll pay for that effort with some weight gain...

Sorry, I think your Handicap was a little out, due to your previous high power up a single go at the climb.

I've adjusted it for any other attempts, and/or next week.

New Handicap weight is 54.5 Kg (120.15 pounds)
