How did you get on Keith ?

How did you get on Keith ?

Very slowly, the long sections of over 11% were really hard and I seemed to lose power at one point. Recovered towards the end but won't be doing it again. Was glad I did it in video view 3D would have been too dispiriting!

@Randyberlin i think your stage 1 attempts have disappeared into the bkool ether never to resurface gor approval. I'm getting attempts to approve now but now that they are ones that people have just done. Sorry.

No problem. At the end of the month ill just add in the 42 minutes... I mean the 23 minutes and see where I rank. I take that back. I think it was 12 minutes.

Warmup will start in about 57 minutes. About 25 minutes later, the race has finished for the heaviest riders and about 30 seconds later for the rest.

I wish!

Sorry, won't make it tonight. Don't feel up to a mad dash. May try something a little more gentle.

cheers , i lost all the other rides i have done as i was expecting but i deleted account and started up again with different email on dec 1 but none of the rides i have done since are showing
it says i am not connected to strava even though strava shows the rides
in profile it shows me as elite 10 but while ridinig i have a green hat on
its like i am riding as one person ( green hat ) and seeing his data on strava
but seeing blue hats activity in bkool - none
just deleted everything and reloaded , cancelled permission in strava and redone ( even though it is still greyed out in bkool it is showing connected in strava
i dont know how i have mullered this up - bloody computers
will try later to see if anything shows anywhere

Yes, I lost connection with Strava as well. Had to reconnect for some reason

 

[berty bassett]

Well done all
Thought I had cracked the drafting but I dropped my guard for a second and was out the back
Be warned - I know what I have to do
- just can’t do it 😁☹️

For some reason it just won’t let me connect up 🤷‍♂️

nice one @perswe
i thought you pipped me on the line
my trainer latency was a two edged sword and left me looking for gears as we crested climbs and you would walk on by leaving scrambling to get your wheel again
the 56/11 worked a treat on the downhills though and i could actually ride through with you skiers on the steep slopes

you need to watch the approaching profile and spin up before the steeper sections and then stay in the blob

Tell me about it! I'm getting closer but still have no way of catching once I'm dropped and can't increase the cadence beyond 127 so when it goes down steep I'm spat out like unwanted chewing gum.
