Cool , willing to have a go , hate hills living in Essex we don't get to many thankfully , sounds painfull but no pain no gain

One of my favorite sayings "No Pain No Gain". Never a truer word.

Anyway, well done Darren, you're first on the list for Ventoux. I think I'll have to make it a maximum of 20 so there won't be too much work for the admin.

Can i ask what " Slope reduction " means in the BKool Sim ?

Just browsing my settings & seen it & no idea what is is / means , on a slider scale 0 - 100 currently set at Zero is this ok ?

Exactly what you think it means. However it does not work on chaingang or handicap sessions.

I bend the situation enough with old fw, a situation beyond my control (without buying a new trainer). I dislike cheating because ultimately I'm only cheating myself. And for what? A position or two up on the results board .
.

I don't see it as cheating ... it's just a shame that BKool can't sort out the FW on the older machines so that everyone can play equally. It's like they are trying to force everyone onto their latest turbos!

What I have noticed with your rides TB, which looks wrong, is every one of your rides has a power to weight ratio of 1.6 watts per kilo. Almost without fail, irrespective of style of ride (flat, hill etc). Mine fluctuates from anything like 2.0 to 2.5, but yours is always 1.6. Definitely something strange with your machine as I'm sure you produce different power on different rides

I'm thinking of organizing a group ride up Mt Ventoux next week. It's a good entry level Mountain Goat ride so I'll be expecting a lot of enthusiasm from the guys here and it may well end up oversubscribed.

Yeah will probably be there but if I'm late can I join for the ride back down again?

I currently peak out about 210w at my weight about 1.6-1.7w kg. I have been up to 1.8 on one or 2 shorter rides but the 1 hour and above it drops HIIT sessions here I come
