@shimceltic didn’t see you there, it was you that inspired me to do it. Nasty 12.5% kick right at the end.

Think 60km is a bit much in the garage.... I'm doing 38 at 3pm

It’s the longest turbo ride I’ve done in several years, but it was engaging enough to distract me from the discomfort. It’s a good feeling to have completed something of that time and distance, if only to prove to myself I can. Didn’t set any WR’s, but I’m sure it’ll have done some good somewhere. 🤞
Looking forward to that celebratory glass of vino!

Did you keep in a decent group?

Anyone else do the RGT 10am ride? It was tough.

yep, sat in the second group all the way went for it on the penultimate drag got away but got caught and so had nothing for the final climb. 16th I think.

I was 48 or 49th. Stayed in that second group for about first 10km, but it was a bit rich for me. Ducked in and out of a few duos and trios then to the end. That climb to the finish was a pig wasn’t it? Enjoyed the event though.

For your enjoyment - a JSON view of the top 20 yesterday: https://my.bkool.com/bkoolSessionHistory/getSessionHistoryDetailsAsJSON/17849952
I wish Bkool provided a API for their data - I bet the community would do something good with it :-)

The problem is there is no community and bkool has no interest in developing one,witness the near impossibility of contacting other users.

Looks like you've been promoted to 2nd with the age handicap

Looks like I will need to form my own team at some point or join one of the existing. Duckman's Degenerates, Fair or Fowl, Scotch and Water, so many possibilities...

Yes, tough climb. I should have targeted it at the end, climbs are normally good for me.

Last week of this month's league so next month's has been published. Nice variety I think, stage 4 has been earned by some!

Ouch @AAAC 76C ! I'm not going to challenge you back as I see I still have a comfy 2 second lead in the GC with the 9,4 uphill climb to go. Can't see me loosing that uphill battle...

Haven't seen anything recently.
I got my renewal when they had a black Friday sale.
On a related note I'm dropping g my RGT premium because I don't see any difference with the free app. Anybody know of any reason to keep it? Other than supporting a good start up.

No @Randyberlin. The only advantages you get are being able to ride all of their 9 routes instead of a limited selection which changes weekly and the ability to create hit own routes and host events. If you just want to join other's events the free is prefectly good enough.
