You are SO strong AAAC

BKool has given me some downhill wings and I got a little help from BKool with some extra Watts at the end.
In the finale I think gravity played the biggest part in the finish.
I did enjoy that ride. The start caught me out so I had to fight back through the bunch but that was made easier by all the drafting.
In the middle I tried to let the other two guys do the work which is another reason for my strong finish.

Anyone else get a deadstop tonight on CG4? I went from 70 odd kph to 10 kph in that last 10 metres Checked power and that was over 300 as i went into the transition.

We're all chuffed it went well Steve but not even half as much as you are.
All the best for your recovery.

PS:
It's good to know that DP does have some good advice.

You was well infront 2 minutes i would need to be a to get past you

I was dying on that last climb so was just hoping you didn't close too much as I faded

anybody else tried a bkool class.
I did and I tried the class..............
Interval Power Blocks by Sergio García

Of course he was speaking in Spanish so that wasn't much use but I thought I could do the intervals.
I lasted 5 mins at the most, when the class started it went in auto mode and I could hardly spin to 90 rpm as requested and I was in the easiest gear ratio
It was useless but has anybody else tried the classes and had success.

I've now tried the three classes which are presented in English, although tonight's, Budapest Connection One, is the only one I have completed, I now think that they are worth doing.

As the BKool Pro automatically controls the power to within the correct zone, increasing cadence reduces the force needed.
For the same reason it makes sense to choose a high, if not the highest gear. The trainer will adjust for it but it will, I think, reduce the chance of wheel slip.

It certainly felt like good exercise, which may appeal to some!

Can't you set up a ride and just add as a favourite? It will show up on bsim under favourite sessions.

tried that but i added ghosts and it crashed. You can do it with no ghosts but i don't like riding on my own ... I get lonely

You are SO strong AAAC

5 BKool W/kg - BKool definitely gave me wings.

I suggest that that was not all my own doing and I had a little help from BSim!
I was actually hoping to give you a tow up the final climb.

GHOSTS WERE DEFINITELY ALL SIDEWAYS TODAY.
SOME EVEN HAD HOVER WHEELS.

I don't do piggin, I prefer to call it troughing

 

[Steve]

Thanks for messages guys and apologies for tardiness in acknowledging I got moved to a ward yesterday and bit of a twilight zone all sorted now and Jim trust me it won’t be difficult to go slow unless I get my elite shipped over

Wish I'd checked on here before doing a ride last night - sounds like a few of you were on whilst I was riding.

Anyone else having issues adding ghosts? I can set them up on the website but they don't appear on bsim - I had to do CG2 all on my lonesome last night

Ghost are definitely a problem. Sometimes you see them sometimes not . When you do see them they are usually doing something odd . The current favourite view is something akin to a hover bike going backwards
