Yes, bkool seems to be in a period of problems at the moment. I just said good to see your back, which I hope I'll do in next Tuesday's handicap until 200m from the end when you'll see my back!

I notice that I don't have stage 3 of the league in my scheduled rides either on the web or in the simulator. I might have accidentally deleted it, does everybody else have it as a scheduled ride?

I have it on my schedule. "Somers short loop"

Hi, I rode the 1st stage of the chain gang december this morning and vain as I am I tried to look myself up in the league ranking on bkool.com. It showed me only 27 riders, without myself. Do I do something wrong here, or maybe at entering the ride? What is the "official" way to participate? Bye!

If you're in the league it should show your attempt time at the top of the individual stage. Then it takes a day or so to show up in the table... That is if @keithaitch isn't afraid of approving your ride because he fears the competition. I know it happens.

Yes sorry, the fault is shared between me (the league admin) who can be slow to approve rides, I normally check 3/4 times a day for attempts that need approval and bkool. They take about 2/3 hours after I approve the ride to first update the stage and then the overall results. I have just approved your ride and so it should show up in the stage and then the league some time this evening. It's great to have you here, hope you enjoy the good natured banter and perhaps will think of joining us on one of the group rides when everybody does the same stage at the same time. They are on Thursdays at 19:00 cet and then a rerun on Saturday at 18:00 cet. This week we are doing stage 3 of the December league, please join us if you can/want to.

Thanks @Randyberlin and @keithaitch , clear to understand how it works while doing for the 1st time. And I'll think about the Thursday or Saturday, always nice to experience it en groupe

For me there is no comparison between the effort when in a live race. My heart rate and watts are always way higher. And the benefit of drafting when you can react is fun. Last Saturday I had to try to put on a little extra to lose @AAAC 76C . I'd be happy to post a screen shot of him drafting me.Thanks @Randyberlin and @keithaitch , clear to understand how it works while doing for the 1st time.

I'll start the race tonight.
The climbs/kicks at 3.3 and 5.5 km should be steep/long enough to drop me and other heavier riders. So the winner will be whoever survives the climbs and can keep up the pace on the many lumps on the last 13 km. I'm definately not in contention!

I hope that if anybody gets away on the climbs they are slowly reeled in by a group of two or three hungry wolves working as a pack hunting them down. I'm looking at @AndyMacca as alpha wolf!
🐺 ooooooooowwwwwwww, we'll do our best but I think the 🐐 goats will get away on that bump, even so a pack might keep the pressure on if we can keep together on those frequent +/- 10m changes.
Or will the middleweights attempt a deep effort on the hills to stay with the lead only to get stretched out in the second half?
I'm sure it'll be a good ride though.
