But there are now inactive flu viruses flowing around my body. Bit like diesel in the fuel tank of a formula 1 car.
Yep that is definitely what it is like.

I'm going to have a go in about 10 mins as I have something I need to do at 5 o'clock today. I'm using @PaulT as a ghost ... not convinced I keep the pace up but I'll try and stay with him as long as I can
As you say, the simple thing for Bkool to have done, would be to keep the power out of the equation (just show it if it's delivered, else display a calculated value). But my test (above) clearly shows that this is not what they do.

Already clocked in almost 4 hours of training this morning, so I think I'll pass.
Hi,
I would like to try it at 5pm however I'm a complete novice with setting up these things.. I can't imagine being of any help to you though.. I've done 20 laps in the veledrome on my own and managed an average of 24.9mph (if that means anything) and that was ugly..
I'm still not sure about the madeleine thingy... anyone advise please?
I think Bill S will start the session. All you have to do is to find it in the Live sessions.
Hints
If you can't see the session, then use the filter and search for "Bill" (without the quotes). That is of course if Bill is the one starting the session.
If the session is password proteced, BIll will post the password here.
If the password contains a "h", then you will need to press "h" twice, since the first "h" will open a help window.
Hi Jim. Join the race from the Live Tab. Password will be chaingang
There is a quirk in bkool when typing h it brings up the Help window so if you type h twice it will work. Ridiculous I know but that's Bkool sometimes.
So 5pm warmup start then race starts at 5:10
Make sure your rear wheel is not turning as it countdowns to zero. A top gear start is always quickest and we all do that here. If you jump the start it keeps you stuck on the line until your wheel stops so best to err on the side of caution and pull away a second late.
Enjoy.
Soarer. I will be more than happy to ride along just in front of you so you can go as fast as possible for little effort. If I'm too slow for you just pull alongside and I'll speed things up a bit.
If I forget this offer please just pass me and ride in front for a bit until I remember. Cheers.
Yes the madeleine thing will be very confusing to the novice. Don't worry about it. I picked it as a random ride that could be used to substitute a ride into the league which will represent the velodrome session seeing as velodrome sessions are not allowed in leagues. A bit of jiggerypokery was therefore required. All you need to do is after the velodrome session go to your leagues tab and select Col de la madeleine. Do 20 seconds of it or so then end the session and save. I will then use that dummy session within the leagues admin to adjust that session to equal your velodrome time which you will post on here. For the moment, all you need to do is make sure you join my velodrome session at 5pm.
LBHIFI has made a good explanation above.

Well that's even better, just one thing to remember halves my opportunity to cock it upActually, you just need to remember to join my ride from the live tab
Nervous energy..
Careful you don't hit any bits of me or the bike towards the end... this could be a catastrophic failure...
