Ta to all who have responded on the difficult choice i have to make on whether to make it even harder on myself to keep up with bridgy and now TT as well as breedon, Bill, AAAC, LBHFI-frigging hell, what an ever-growing list!

Andy, local shop has a kickr I can try out but thanks for the offer. Only one question more for you given you have a bkool unit as well-which is louder/more irritating?

Tonight's Chaingang race is City of Bristol. 28.3km. Looks like some hills there but no idea how punishing they'll be.
7pm warm-up. Start about 7:10. No password.

I can't make tonights Chaingang and not the Saturday rerun either.
Had some spare time this afternoon and thought I would try to get a little closer to you leading guys in stage 1, but the pace you take off with is just insane .
I had to bail after 7 minutes averaging 350 REAL watts . I don't think I will be able to do more in these subzero temperatures, so I think I'll try to move the gear to the living room for one last attempt.

I know what you mean Bob . That list is growing and the most recent offenders are TT & Breedon. If you're about tonight we could try and outsmart them with some drafting.

That looks like an Adski style mountain bike with slicks

You big boys are quite safe if there aren't any mountains about

I will be there Bill and hopefully will able to assist. If its a rolling course then it will likely suit the heavier riders like, err, TT!

The Kickr(1) and Bkool pro I would say are roughly equal in noise, bkool whizz v kickr whirring . Listening to the DCrainmaker video, Kickr version 2 is much quieter.

Just realised I've left the bkool skewer on the other bike which is being serviced . I'll have to stick with the gt until I get it back, it's going out on loan anyway .

Gives me a chance to do some setup work before taking it for a proper ride itrw .

How very dare you!

I'm not around tonight unfortunately. So you'll have to wait until Saturday to run me over!

Nice one TB, that looks very nice. I've always liked the look of BMC frames.

This may sound idiotic but I went for the colour .

Nah, really. I was looking for a triple crankset bike, that was reasonable quality, without being horrendously expensive, to me, and the alpenchallenge fitted the bill. Then I found a version in yellow and just had to have it. It's not spec'd up, in fact it a couple of tiers down from where I was looking, but upgrades are relatively cheap when I want them .

'Kin crashes. I think I may be seeing a pattern develop here. When bsim crashes, stops working or freezes. Once closed and reopened the pc tends to crash. Once rebooted, I go to shut down and there are updates ready to be installed. Could the dl of updates, not necessarily bsim updates, be causing the crashes?

I think I'll be booting twice or three times in a row in future just to get the updates out of the way
