WTF!! I thought my windows 7 would at least let me ride but updates??!?
maybe join if I can get them done. My 1 hour time wasn’t as good as expected

Already feel sick after a steady warm up

Well done Brusgaard, my average watts lower than a steady bkool ride and I'm fkd still. Felt like peddling in treacle.

Thanks. Kept wondering if I should wait for you, as we might have been faster together. My time of 41m25s back in 2020 was set in a race in the Danish BKOOL League with dozens of riders to draft. Not that I raced it then, but the draft alone would account for the faster time, even I was at 2.9wkg avg. then.

I was 5s faster than last August but nearly gave up 3 times....

Windows never finished updating before the race so at the last minute I got in on an old iPad then started but when I screen mirrored to the Apple TV something went wrong and all I saw was sky and clouds.
next week I should be ready

You'll be glad. Wasn't a nice experience

Randy has already done the stage earlier this (or was it last?) week.

I did it last week but didn’t push. I hoped to improve today. It’s amazing how many pieces of tech have let me down.
The new Mac Mini is supposed to be here Wednesday. BigringVR until then.

Just upgraded my pc to Win11. Bkool 5.63 runs fine, as is BigRingVR. Ready for the winter

Welcome back! The league numbers are depleted. It would be good if more of the previous participants also returned for the winter.

Hopefully bill, adds, aac all come back. Weather is unseasonably nice here at the moment though

I have a second subscription for anyone who wants to try the new Bkool Sim. Send me a message for the password.

I will ride outside as long as possible, until it gets too wet or too dark. So you will see me back anytime these months

I just installed BKOOL on my Mac mini M1 16GB. It runs (spectating) at 30 FPS regardless of choosing Low, Medium, High or Ultra at 1080P or 1440P and in 3D, video and map mode. So, just as Zwift on Apple TV is capped at 30 FPS, so is BKOOL on the M1 Mac mini.

Old BKOOL PC still ticking along butter smooth at 60 FPS (60Hz screen) with the new sim version.

Office PC with Ryzen 5 3800X, 16 GB and RTX 2060 at 75 FPS (75Hz screen, same one used for the Mac).
