Quite enjoyed SC8 tonight. I had no idea how fast I would be so I selected a number of ghosts around the 38 minute time, with a few faster ones. Well, I buggered that up as I came in at 32:50 Only downer is there is someone 28 seconds faster than me and I didn't include his ghost, so only spotted this once I finished

Puts me currently 2nd on SC8, and if the league is updated tonight I could be top 5 in GC at least until the big race on Thursday

Ha ha, I was 2nd .... right up until @JacobSkovsgaard completed the ride and put me in my place

Wait for the elites to have a go.... They would have finished before you even started...

I think Jacob is one of the Elite's if not close to being the Elite.

I think he is referring to the ELITE elites.

By the way, I did CG 3 yesterday - how weird /cool is the bit where you go underwater???!

 

[Goldwolfie]

Hope you thoroughly enjoyed that Wolfie. Appologies about the length of it but at least it's done now.

Enjoyed is not the word that came to mind.
It was the cycling version of my eyes being too big for my belly. That is, I went off far to quickly and struggled to finish.
Thanks for pulling it together and at least that"s me finished for this month's CG.

I think he is referring to the ELITE elites.

I was thrown by the lower case 'e' in elite.
Your mean he means Elite Turbo Trainer as opposed to the elite riders however if I look at my fitness level on my home page I am an Elite.
However I am sure he was not refering to the type font.

Do you underwater or does the water simply go over you.
None the less a perfect example of Virtual Reality.
Just like the finish the other day where the trucks and some of the spectators were hovering over the sea away from the cliff.
Probably the same ride come to think of it.

The SC ranking has been updated, and now RICARDENO is top dog, after completing SC3 yesterday in avg. speed way above 60kph... Only 10 minutes faster than Jacob for the stage...

He took that stage easy then

I did think they was missing the boat with direct drive.

Has somebody jumped the gun? There is no mention on the BKOOL website afaict.
Maybe this is one of the product launches for Eurobike.

It isn't April is it?

We saw this model a couple of weeks ago on various Danish sites, slated for an October release. If you see the pictures from the Hamburg stand on BKOOLs Facebook page, you'll notice the Smart Air on the left together with the Go and Pro 2. I even requested some videos of people riding THAT one, instead of the Go on the 8th of August (Google "bkool smart air" (remember the "s)). They (BKOOL) liked my request, but had no further comments.

I wonder what the weight limit is on the Bkool Smart Air. The Neo has a 125kg limit, part of the reason I didn't get one when they launched . I could just about get on one now, but I can't justify the price at the moment .

It has a built-in power meter so would be interesting to see how it works with b-sim
