Yeah Berty Bassett and Goldwolfie have both become professional athletes since that was done and are now using obscure compressed gasses of some kind in their tyres.

its talk like that , that got my arse kicked on tues !!
Hi Nutty, good to have you back.Hi folks,
I hope to be back tomorrow. I have been missing since since December after having a back complaint that completely knocked me out and I am tired of being challenged and being beaten on previous times
I might be a bit slow but have to start back somewhere!
I take it you're fully recovered now are you?

Im such a numpty.....just confirming tonight's ride is the Baldo blast with warm up at 19.00 for 10 minutes then go live @ 19.10. Search for it in the advanced search under Baldo @ 19.00 hrs?
Geoff, my handicap in the last handicap race seemed to be good. when I ride in time trial mode I can expect to be 6.8% slower than Bill, so I would expect a finish time at around 24 minutes. So I think I would be better off starting same time as Ryan.

Bkool never lies - I'm still only Amateur 3 and therefore lowest ranked of the regulars.
Let's see what tonight brings - It might be that the 'fear factor' of the handicap format pushes me harder, whereas when all the real pros head off into the distance leaving me standing in a scratch race does not fit well with my physc.
Plus a bit more gas in the rear end has certainly pushed me forward at a greater rate.

What's the independent adjudicator's final say on my handicap Geoff? Don't listen to all the chuff of these other guys, it's just jersey envy.
I will trust your judgement completely.

It will be fun to ride with all of you from my virtual front door! Don't know about the "blast" though... This is an easy flat ride in which wind is often the main problem. Early on there is a short but painful climb, a 4th category, rising 100m. This will warm things up. The remaining should be good for drafting, whatever that is and if it exists in Bkool. Hope that you enjoy it.

As for my vortex handicap, Bkool support have told me that they are looking into calibrating the power curve of the vortex with a powertap to refine the virtual speeds reached in the simulator. Will see... for now things have not changed much on my end, and in spite of my Ac5 status I usually finish in the middle of the Am pack.
