I've noticed something strange with my reported times on my last 2 league rides. The actual times in my activity log for the 'main' part of the session is longer than what I actually took. Today, my actual time on the goat ride was 7mins+ slower than Bill S and I remember my total time was just under 1hr 9mins so this seemed correct (Bill S was just over the hour) but my log shows 1hr 13mins (excl warm up and cool down). Anyone else had this issue?

Are you doing a video ride and does the ride have any kind of targets, points of interest, etc?

I had this happen to me last year and about the best I was able to figure out (with the help from the old-timers) was that something causes a sync with video rides -- so you might get a reported time of 1:00, but you had "jumps" during the ride where bkool decided to jump you forward to sync with the video. At which point bkool presumably guesses how long it would have taken you to cover the distance and it adds it to your time.

Thanks, but both were 3D rides, no video

So the handicap race ended over an hour ago, but still isn't showing up in my activities. Anyone else seeing the same problem?

Looking at the recording you were making big watts and they are steady these days. I thinks its a bit of you being quicker than before and me being slower.

The 2 day break did me good Bill. I used Zwift tonight to check how I felt and if I had not felt ok I wouldn't have ridden. Our rides are always so full on that there is little room for recovery and I really struggle with that.

@JLaw I think Bkool has a problem uploading rides from leagues.

Yep, still not showing for me either

What, like a "bug"?

That can't be right, they clearly told Geoff the update's made it bug free....?

Recording is here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/z06puoouui43bhl/Bkool Indoor 15_11_16 20_10_58.mp4?dl=0

Bkool seems to have gone on a go slow, and only Bob's result has showed up so far!

And that won't approve, just gives error trying to approve...

Sigh!

My ride is still in the ether but my warm up and cool down rides are there.
This new BSim just doesn't work for us leaguers.

It's not a bug this one, it's a 'feature'.

 

[bobinski]

TT, thanks for the words of encouragement kept looking around for you at the start expecting a drafting partner.

 

[JLaw]

It's not a bug this one, it's a 'feature'.

The only difference between a bug and a feature is you can turn off a feature but you have to work around a bug.

 

[bridgy]

Is this "feature" affecting all league rides since the latest update?

 

[Whorty]

Well done Whorty. Very impressive when you consider the difference there used to be between us and now its just a minute or two.

I'm certainly much better than I was on the hills but the flatter courses still destroy me. For some reason I struggle at the 4 to 6 % gradients. Just can't keep the power and cadence up. I think my legs are getting stronger to allow me to grind but the lungs don't allow me to spin - but I'll keep at it

 

[Whorty]

Great ride @Whorty, we are seemly keeping each other on our toes and improving with it

Just couldn't hold you all the way - i started to blow up with 2 km to go but you was still going strong. As with monte's ghost though, had we both been in real time you would have reacted and dropped me earlier.

back in the land of the living just tho stomach feels like it has been tenderised with a lump hammer . still wobbly on me pins so wont embarrass myself on me bike just yet -question to the people who know - is it worth changing my weight from the svelte 64kg to the new skeletal 62kg or should just wait and hope it comes back on ? my belt is more holes than belt now
