Just spammed all the folks on recent rides with friend requests too.

Apart from sending email friend requests of which I don't have people's emails so can't do that how do you invite people to be friends on bkools website. As per usual I keep just going round in circles 😬
Does anyone else have speed issues in Bkool? When I ride outside, alone on a flat road with hardly any wind I average about 38kmph. I imported this route in Bkool and gave it my best and only manage to average 33. This is with higher heartrate / intensity and without wind, corners, etc.
I tried it with different routes as well and (with the exception of climbing) I am always about 20% slower on Bkool. I am also slower on Bkool than I was last year, while I am faster outside than I was last year.
Is there any setting or any sort of calibration I can do?

38kph, are you professional? The problem is with your real world data can you post a stava ride so we can check!
Yeah it's up to usual standard, I'm sure there's a hidden door down a secret Bkool corridor to do it well but the route I took is look at a group e.g.
https://my.bkool.com/group/showMembers/72022
or a recent league for the regulars
https://my.bkool.com/classification/showIndividualLeagueClassification/4089
Then Click on each person opening up their profile then hitting the 'Invite' button which I assume means 'invite to be a friend'?

You have probably done but.... Did you set your weight correctly?
No I am far from a professional. I am an amateur triathlete. Real world data seems legit, because I do the same (or better) in a match (with a timing chip). I do several races a year and distances do match with my watch and with what other contestante measure. I am slightly faster on a TT bike, but I am not comparing that with Bkool.
Thanks for the suggestion. Yes I did. I even lowered it by 4 kilograms because the difference was even worse. It doesn't deel right to lower it even more.

I'll be there for the 12:00 session today and then tandem for the league tonight. Could be a real killer, there's a reason the Basques are all good climbers!

Ok. I have looked at the profile and yes it does. Not sure how I'll do as my legs are tired after yesterday's session.
Will it be on featured rides then?
