Anybody taking on Chris Froome this week? I'm working or I'd put him to shame. I guess it's probably best to not make him feel bad by getting beat by an old guy.

I would, but I think I have pneumonia. So being ready for a mountain climb 2 days from now is highly unlikely!

EDIT: Doctor ruled out pneumonia, but the infection number (31) derived from a blood test showed that I likely had some sort of virus, which of course they can't do anything about. Being 31 on day 4 of feeling sick, it was still too high to go to work, as I would still be infectious. Great when I start new job tomorrow!

Wow that sucks. The Flu is making an unusual summer appearance here. Hope you'll get over it fast. Is it a new position at the same place or a new company?

Different company (https://sp-group.com/) after 8 years in the previous one. My first day has now been postponed till at least Thursday, as the new boss unsurprisingly didn’t want me around infecting the rest of the IT-guys.

Had it planned but went out in the sun!

Get wheel soon

Get wheel soon

Thanks, I don’t start till Tuesday now.

Coughing less now, and not as much yellow mucus. Now it has moved on to my nose instead, and combined with the hayfever, it is clogged pretty good.

I hope to get on the bike tomorrow for a short and/or slow spin. Will do an indoor ride, just in case.

You must have an understanding new boss. But like you said better to not take the virus to work.

@Brusgaard
Hope the new job is going well. I see from your outside rides you’re over your crud.

@shimceltic

Where you been man? I’m worried sick.

I had a work football game last Wednesday so spent a month trying not to be injured, not played for 3 years. The football went well and I'll be back on the bike ASAP now.
Then 2 am today I woke up with chills and bad throat..... Positive test and wiped out now.

Oh no. Hope you have a quick recovery. Back in March I got the Paxlovid when I got it and it wiped it out in 2 days. But you’re probably too young to get it.

Still lots and lots to learn about the new setup.

I'm still not 100% recovered from whatever it was, so I keep the rides short and less intense for the time being.

Bkool automatically created my ride yesterday into a 3d route..... Here's a link if someone fancies a few hills.

Will get the gopro out soon and film one.

@Randyberlin or anyone with neo2t, on the Bkool fitness app can you get it to control resistance? Mine doesn't seem to change when it did with the smart pro 2

 

[Randyberlin]

Uh..you have obviously not seen my “fitness “ sorry I never use that app. Weird. Did you try the Beta version?

Edit: forgot to give you a kudo for that double climb the other day

Download it and give it a try... Vamos!
The climbs are not long not just double digits up to 18% 😂
