Got to feel my way back in slowly. Still don't know if it's me or the turbo but its a real struggle these days. I think I better go out in the RW this weekend and see if I really am as slow as I feel.

You guys are killing me with your warm spring rides outside. We've had rain and sleet.
Thanks for setting these up.

 

[Wentworth]

That's done! More to suit my level of fitness rather than Keith's though

That works for me! Thanks Bill.

Maybe a few stages a bit longer would be nice. Warmup+cool down is longer than some of those stages.

Sounds like somebody's volunteering to arrange May's league... ;-)

Yes, you just get BKOOL to change my e-mail address, or pay the £6 monthly fee to keep my current (BKOOL registered) e-mail. Your choice...

Just a thought. Did you try it in the Beta SIM? Like @Brusgaard said, the few times it delayed the ride uploading it shows up on the next log in. is it greyed out in your history?

YEs, have tried again, the same result, strangely only on that route. Bkool is currently looking into again.

Get BKOOL to implement a seemingly straight-forward technical solution!? I'm not a miracle worker...

@BILL S
In order to get out of your 10 hour work day to race , just stand up from your desk and loudly say "hey are we slaves?? I'm Spartacus!" Then walk out. If anybody says anything just say it was an April fools joke.
Try to beat my 33 minutes.

Warmup starts in about 1 hour. 10 flat laps in Manhattan - about 20 minutes of racing.

I won't make tonight. Have fun all.

I should be there on my freshly re-calibrated Watt-bike.

good sprint
i wound up about 3 or 4 seconds before i lept away and then hit a 1400 indicated brick wall which instantly put mud under me and @AndyMacca shot by.
i was expecting @Brusgaard to follow but i limped in 2nd

Sorry for shamelessly riding your wheels, I knew you two were stronger on the flat so sat on for 95%

Managed to get that sprint perfect, got a good speed up with @Brusgaard then bridged over to you, not sure if I got any draft, but just got ahead for the line. I was hoping you'd gone a bit early it took me totally by surprise.
Full gas, my HR went from 152 to 177 in last 400m/28seconds

 

[Brusgaard]

Thanks for the ride. I pretty much nailed it with my guestimate of 20 minutes race.
If only my sprint had been timed just as accurate...

I won't be there Saturday, as it is my parents' 50th Anniversary and I'm expected to be around for the "party".

So, somebody else will have to start it!

Meanwhile on another platform:

 

[Wentworth]

Sounds fun guys. Anyone in for the re-run today at 5pm GMT?

Sorry, I'm under a mandate. My wife has informed me we are to be photographing at first light. I blame you Brits. She has a brand new Intrepid Camera from Sussex.
I did the ride earlier in the week in video mode and kept getting slower because I thought I was keeping up with the other racers. Then it hit me. It doesn't matter how fast or slow you pedal its the speed of the guy who filmed it.
