You only need to adjust weight if your name is Paul....So out of touch with the bkool leagues, the only one I could find was the Handicap Chase January 2017 so done stage 1? did I need weight adjusted or anything first? and is the chaingang league still going can only find old leagues no present ones,
Sorry to ask to be explained again!

Damn
I must have accidentally crossed the line as my time is showing in the League (19th at the mo').
Could have sworn I ditched 200m from the end!

No Chaingang right now Bert, but should be starting up next week. ATM the handicap league is time handicapped rather than weight so no need to make any of your own adjustments.

Great ride last night Kipster, looks like you're in good form! Also glad your ride got approved so quickly as I need to drop my weight slightly too.
It's a bit alarming Bridgy's ride slipped through the admin net considering the exaggerated weight difference. Obviously unintentional on Bridgy's part but the admins wouldn't know that. It shows how others who are more unscrupulous have been getting away with things that look far more intentional...

Oh no, you're right about my ride - I saw it was marked as "invalid" due to the weight last night (which is how I realised what I'd done) so I was hoping the admins would see sense and not accept the ride. I was going to email as well this morning to try and make sure but haven't got round to it yet. That is silly - they have built in this sensible feature to require the ride to be authorised by admin if the rider weight has changed, but then they just approve it anyway
I know it's my fault really, but that is annoying as if they can't/won't take the ride off the league now I won't really be able to complete the league with a realistic overall time now
. I will email them and ask if they can take it down but I don't hold out too much hope....I'm inclined to agree with you but I've sent the email anyway and we'll see. You're right, the only way to potentially resolve this fairly is for me to beat that time at my correct weight. Should be fine, it's not like I was even really trying that hard last night anyway......I wouldn't hold out much hope Paul. I asked them to review Peps Tache ride due to all the flat lines and falling heart rate. It's still there in the league.
If you can't beat the time, which is unlikely, there is an upside. Cyclechat promotion

We could set up pace makers at various places on-route for you. It would be like a relay but rather than you handing over the baton, you would sit in until we burned..

Sounds like plan, we start earlier and get to the correct lap and point where help would be needed. I vote for AAAC Breedon and Kipster for the uphills!We could set up pace makers at various places on-route for you.

Sounds like a great plan guys - but the thing is, if we did that I'd still feel it was a bit of an unfair time unless we did it for everyone!
I will try and have another go with the same ghosts and see what the time difference is. Assuming I can't go faster (!) I can then slow down just before the line on another stage and "lose" the time difference I gained because of the weight cock-up

Had 4 dead stops doing that course yesterday and couldn't see any ghosts. Tried over the past few days to do various courses and it never shows the ghosts. Lists them all as riders ok and I occasionally see them passing me in the bit that only shows when you overtake or draft. Anyone else having this problem?

I only had a dead stop on the first lap. I free-wheeled the others and was fine, but this doesn't always make any difference. I did see the ghosts at the very start and once or twice during the race (although was ahead most of the time due to my error with the weight!) - I have experienced the same as you though from time to time with real riders where I couldn't see them but they could see me or vice versa. Seems like an intermittent glitch
