Sorry i missed tonight - i went out in the real world
Anyway - this caterpillar is soon going to explode into a glorious butterfly !!! or moth ! - i have just got a pro model !
A question to all the clever people - when i get the pro - can i just plug it in and stick bike on it and just log on as normal - or is there some jiggery pokery that i have to do ??

That was quite tough on the head
I tried to push harder as it went on but I couldn't find as much power as I'd like and what I did have wasn't enough to stop me from slipping further and further back. So I ended up just beating myself up a bit for not having more in the tank. Having said all that I'll definately be back for more next week. Was still fun in a strange way.

Two weight changes from today's run for @bert1971 (drops to 45 Kg) and @TurboTommy (drops to 62 Kg), if anyone is planning to ride it again.
Like last week, I'm happy to start a session same time tomorrow if anyone wants it?

The software detects the trainer, you don't need to do anything other than let it update if it needs to

Yes, that would be great. I suggest Jlaw's ghost, so you can follow him to the Start Point and then go for it.

My 8 pm is still not there but I did not notice any upload problems. The only thing I am doing that is different, other than warming down in the session is that both this week and last I have run the league run twice during the same log in period and perhaps that is confusing the database. Both my other rides are there from tonight so I will go log in and out again.

My bike is still not here. I tried my mountain bike but it is not possible to get any speed at all with low gears and a wide tire. I really want to try this wieght handicap.
Thanks
I felt like I did a good race, but my nemesis really crushed me this time - almost 4 sec/km faster than me
.15 miles at 25.1 mph, placing me in the middle of the pack, both overall and in my agegroup.

I just looked at the results and there is not much difference between the whole field. It looks like a little over 4 minutes between 5th and 50th place.

Soarerv8,
There's a great 30 seconds at 9.50 ish where you go to over take me on a steep bit and i dig in and we are side by side for quite a while before i buckle and you get away. Just shown it to cycling colleagues at work who are very mistrustful of the whole bkool racing regime. I will of course have to show them my revenge

I don't think Strava has a real time tracking option unfortunately - certainly not via my Garmin anyway!really?!?
if you are all on strava is there a way to follow in real time?
I do often use a live tracking app on my phone so my wife can see where I am if I'm out on a ride alone and don't return (Road ID - it's a free App), but using the phone for GPS tracking really drains the battery so I don't think I'll do this on Sunday as I might need my phone in an emergency, and I could be riding for quite some time.....
