That's what hoping. I'm just 5 years late to the Bkool party.... Was my strava from today but trimmed a bit. 4 small 1km or so climbs with kickers in

Finally loaded the new beta on the Mac. It gave me a warning that I may not have enough video or ram to run it. I wasn't worried because it gave me this warning when I did the test last month with the augmented reality ride. Then it worked but I kept going off the course onto the sidewalks.
This time it wouldn't let me x out of the warning. Every time it came back to the log in.
So I loaded it on the windows laptop with HDMI port and it started after I clicked through the warning. It wouldn't let me start before the full 10 minutes. I thought I read you could pedal through the countdown so I was pedaling at 0 but wouldn't start the ride even after I completely stopped. when got out of the program and back in I got the same note @Brusgaard had about sorry try later. I then went back to the Mac to try it again thinking it may have been a server problem on their end but still wouldn't work. When I went back to the laptop it worked perfectly excerpt for the full 10 minute countdown. The rider stayed on the center and steering didn't do anything.
It Was a crazy good graphic interface and probably with others in a race would be fun.
So stage 1 done. I'll probably go back to the regular Bkool.on the Mac and use the laptop for the beta.

Did you see the blond wearing very tight skin colour clothing? How were the hills?

How come it is in 4:3 format???

I recorded in 1440p I think as it was that or 4k and 4k kills the battery. Took ages to stick the vids together so 4k would have been worse!

1080p and 1440p are both 16:9.

Just been looking at https://havecamerawilltravel.com/gopro/gopro-hero7-black-video-modes/
Must have selected the 4:3, is that because of the image stability function? Ride it anyway and I'll do a new one at the weekend,

I only saw a blond in a black track suit. But I only did the first 5 miles.
I want to do the whole thing later.

Did you see your results on the first stage on the augmented ride? I looked on ranking under the ride on Bkool but didn't see you. And I was 27th. That can't be right.

Hi randog, I didn't complete it, just tried it out. It's not an official stage anyway....

Remember only 200 users are allowed to do the Giro beta routes. I'm not...

The AR will only be available for the Giro routes, not regular routes...
