Ah, sounds like that'll be it!

Not keen on the toggle switches for on / off , guess to the right is ON

Well hunted mr TT i have never felt more like a rabbit being chased down by a greyhound ! well and truly put in my place

You need to press the up arrow on the keyboard to show the averages

i thought they had gone as well - thts annoying as the last few rides i have been keeping an eye on averages more than anything and this threw me a bit - not an excuse as i would still have been spanked by tt

Tommy. On my ride it says you didn't complete ride fully? I didn't see everyone tonight. Monte, tiny, Goldwolfie were invisible to me. Unless they were in a different ride? I had slight panic when bsim failed to upload ride and then sat there for a minute or so before doing the usual `upload with next login`

It's weird andy

I finished the race, saved it, got a time etc. It's on my home page on BKOOL. It's just not showing up as a league run. Any ideas anyone? It's s tad anyone because I completely buried myself trying to make a comeback after starting a few mins late.

Well done Bridgy. You gave the rest of us a good kicking. I couldn't stay with you so thought perhaps we could reel you in if I teamed up with Rick. Well we tried, but I think it wasn't flat enough and we didn't make enough watts.
Can't say I like the new software. I struggled to see what was going on and it didn't even show average watts. And I couldn't even see who had joined the ride during the warmup. Nice and modern looking but not very functional.
Dead stops are still there.

Bill, the dead stops are in the Turbo firmware not in BSim otherwise I would have got them before I changed my Turbo.

Your ride is only showing as 32.4km instead of the full 35km for everyone else - no idea why?

Yeah, I suppose I know that but I'm just annoyed that bkool were pi55ing around with the software when they should have been fixing the important stuff. I'll need to wear my glasses on the turbo now just to see what's going on.

Yeah I agree with some of what you've said - but as others have pointed out, if you press arrow up you do get the averages at the bottom of the screen. The fact you can't see many riders at the start is really annoying - plus I'd like to see many more riders in the leaderboard on the left. Maybe these are things they can fix. Having the speed, watts etc in different places was a bit confusing too!

FFS I've got to ride Toumalet, Ventoux and Alpe d'Huez before the end of the month. And it's all my fault

I also couldn't read the messages that popped up on my laptop screen as they were too small - couldn't see if it was people joining/leaving/watching or messages for me

There is a re-run of tonights stage of the chaingang. Sat 5pm.
Make sure you've requested to join the league, search cyclechat on the bkool website and ask to join them all 4 or 5 iirc and then post back here to give the league mods a heads up.
Enjoy

The pennies just dropped... I must of started at the last rider... Balls!

With regards the new interface it's a bit meh isn't it? It's shiny and new but the text definately needs making bigger and where's average watts gone? It's a bit style over substance at the moment but maybe it needs to be tinkered with.
