Chaingang tonight!! Saint Ghislain 7pm warm-up start. No password.

Looks to be rather hilly this one.

It will be a doddle to you boys.. I'm pretty certain that the maximum climb is 4%.. it's a circuit of 5 reps - I used a ghost and caught up with him on the third rep..

I really enjoyed it..

correction-probably one for the uber strong riders At least i get to stay in the big ring up and down!

I'm probably going to regret saying this but those hills don't look too big to me - 186m of climbing in 33kms isn't LOADS.....

Remember my post yesterday to the Zwiftriders Facebook page? Well there was such an excitable response with some bkool users coming in and standing up for the software, whatever its foibles, and particularly the sheer proliferation of routes, especially video that the exchanges got hotter and the thread was closed down! All men posting of course...

We would never get like that here...would we?

Take that...

Mine will be simply to keep you in sight!

I will take it easier than some at the start recognising there is a good 40-50 min of riding ahead and its uphill for much of the finish-if i last that long. The re-run may be more enticing.

it's like 5 goat rides rolled into one, could use this as a recce

Ducking out tonight, sore feet and feeling tired. I will try and cheer some of you on

 

[Daddy Pig]

Anyone noticed any changes with the update?

I've just had a quick look and they've NOT fixed:

- only 8 league/favourite rides to choose from
- kit design tool for avatar (only interested as it would be nice to have for if/when we do some TTT's!)

- Password glitch - not sure yet, as I can't find any locked rides to try opening. I scheduled a ride myself with a password but it pre-fills the password for me automatically. I think this is a new thing so maybe they have fixed it? Will have to keep an eye out for a locked ride to find out.

i suspect the update is limited to adding snowmen and Xmas trees in the 3d graphics or something....

I have noticed that ant+ devices show signal strength, which I don't think was there before. This could be useful to identify signal issues.

Cracking race @BILL S you had me struggling all the way to the end. @AAAC 76C cruising to the line. Good job. Well done everyone.

Congrats on the Pro status BILL!

Well, disaster struck again for me tonight - logged on early to allow some time for the bkool update, well it was taking ages so I thought I have to cancel this otherwise I'm going to mbe so the start of the ride. Did everything as normal, searched for Bill S in the filter, saw the ride with 16 riders online but when I went into the ride it was only actually showing 4 riders, repeated several times with the same thing happening so I thought let's just get on with it, Runar was there but had a minute on me in the first 4 miles and then it completely froze on me around 10 miles into the ride. Almost pressed the cancel subscription straight away, but logged on again and the update happened really quickly - maybe just maybe it could have been my fault for leaving the update too late
