For those interested. Switching from an old hybrid to my new racer improved time on a 23 km course with 9 minutes and that was with a lot less suffering... Wonder why? Could it be tire pressure alone?

I think that when you get the server disconnect message the thing to do is just keep going and not click on anything. It usually connects again itself and still gives an accurate time. It's just that others won't see you. I think.

Possibly. With the hybrid I was totally blasted! Yesterday on the racer I gave it 70-80% but still aeons faster!
Tyre pressure and a stiff frame with good racing geometry make a massive difference. I notice the difference between my carbon fibre racer and my aluminium one. And that's just on frame stiffness and marginal geometry difference.
Guys, there's been a few requests to join Mountain Goats - if any of the following is on here please post to let us know. If you know any of them could you ask them to pop in and say Hi.

Been about a week since I was on Bkool now so better get back into the fray - Knees had felt a bit funny and with a sportive on Saturday past I wanted to rest them a bit.
Anyone doing this evenings race at 5pm? http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/746130

What I will do instead is use the top 100 climbs as my mountain goat stages. Still hard, for me, but at least I have a chance of finishing in a reasonable amount of time (less that 4 hours)
Very sensible! I found anything approaching 2 hours or more of climbing to be too much for me, around an hour 15 mins was my comfort limit!
After that various parts of my anatomy started to complain bitterly!

Yes, hope to give it a go... looks a little lumpy!
Respect, .... Somewhere around the 15 mins for me! 
Looks quite steep at the start compared to most. Must try to get as far as possible before the resistance normalisesYes, hope to give it a go... looks a little lumpy!
.Hopefully see you guys there.
You'll be well rested then Rick. The 100 climbs league has ensured that I am not, so think I'll try and tuck in behind you.

If anything is going to sleep it will be my hands, and I am sitting quite upright. The padding on my posterior aside from the shorts aids the longer 'rides'Very sensible! I found anything approaching 2 hours or more of climbing to be too much for me, around an hour 15 mins was my comfort limit!

I have done some 1 and a 1/2 hour rides (plus warm up and cool down) and that is currently about my trainer limit. I am trying to do 1 or 2 sessions of about 1 and a 1/4 hours total excluding a warm up and cool down on each of the days I use the trainer. Usually 4 or 5 days a week when fit. I am setting my targets and once achieved moving on to the next one
Me too. My excuse is a 63 mile commute ride in 15 m/s sidewind and a sumptuous meal consumed 10 minutes agoThe 100 climbs league has ensured that I am not, so think I'll try and tuck in behind you.

That should be no problem for a pro5
