Blooming SC still not updating.
Perhaps it's coz Pep did not win.
Well how could any mortal with the Elite gang and Esaro on board!
Not that fussed mind as I had no intention of going to Mongolia let alone actually ride a bike there.
It was also pretty daft having the last live race at that time on a Saturday.

Nice picture Andy. It turns out I didn't really get a decent group one all day... anyone else got any good ones?

GoPro's very cool. That section was my favourite of the day. It's still a buzz powering along with you guys in the real world after so many races on bkool.

There should be some at the 'needles'. We might look less enthusiastic

@Whorty @theboxers I've signed up to join the Chain gang league, so I thought it best to start posting here rather than derail the "Bkool issue......going too fast/too many watts" thread.

What's your user name on BKool? @BILL S will need to accept you into the league I think.

Geoff, I am using 40-11, my tourer bike has a MTB setup. I was upto 110rpm early on, it pushed me a little too close to the redline in heart rate and had to ease off ever so slightly, result dropped. It wasn't sufficient to match the lightweight riders running 50 or 52 crankset. I think speed was around 29-30 mph at that point. That's about maximum I could achieve with that gearing. I pulled them back a little later, but Tommy and Paul(bridgy) were well gone(1 minute faster), pretty much flat out for 11 minutes downhill, well slope.

Can I get Garmin virb for free to see if I can overlay my video?

Does the video need gps because my gopro is the small one without GPS logging

Hope you got a new chain for that bigger chainring you're adding!

Chain is only a few hundred miles old, will be fine. Its due a deep clean after last two trips.

Looks like Bridgy's legs are keeping you both upright to be fair!

My BKool name is DAVEW1. It comes up as all capitals on my BKool account but might just as easily be DaveW1 or a variation on that theme.

Thanks for the photo guys, it reminded me why I don't go out in my cycling gear!
I looked at the photo again with my glasses off and it looked a lot better.
I think a club kit is needed, including socks and I won't name those that won't be on the selection committee.
