I wasn't meaning to cast any doubt on your ride - was just thinking there was no way I could get close to your time having just pushed pretty hard and was impressed!

I wouldn't cast any doubt on Bob's ride either , however, he did finish 5 1/2 minutes quicker than Ryan and only AAAC has ever beaten Ryan up a virtual mountain before. 10 minutes quicker than me!!!
As for you Paul, you didn't come in nearly far enough behind Ryan for my liking.

Just so you know. I'm watching both of you!!

This is the first Mountain Goat league I've participated in - the chaingangs were enough for me previously but I've found I can fit a few more rides in these days without getting too many complaints from a)the wife, and b)the legs

This week I've done a 2.5 hour mountain bike ride on Sunday; stage 2 of chaingang on Monday; Handicap Chase on Tuesday; Mountain Goats on Wednesday. Hopefully Chaingang tonight and then another MTB ride is planned for Friday. So far I'm holding up, but I want this information out there as potential excuse material in case it all goes wrong....

**NEWSFLASH**

Bkool have FIXED the issues I highlighted to them in my email several weeks and 10 (mostly irrelevant) replies ago!

(Ironically they haven't emailed me to say this yet - I just noticed it)

So individual stages are now showing in past leagues again - Hurrah!

And if you click on the number in the "att." column of a stage results for any rider you can again now see more details as you used to.

So it's taken a while and a bit of frustration but all the queries I highlighted were eventually resolved.

Now, you'll have to remind me of those other queries.....

I have parents evening tonight (yes, they have them to keep an eye on the negligent ones ) so will miss the ride.

Anyone able to log into bsim and see if there is an update today?
