Tyre psi perhaps? I'm up around 140 psi.

It was 45 mins 14 seconds Bill , cheers.

Woops! Something went wrong there. Probably something I did but you now have the record for that ride. It didn't add on the extra time I punched in. Sorry Alfie and everyone else. Unfortunately there's no way to change it.

Can you do that for me too please?

No worries Adam. Can you please put in a dummy ride of around an hour and I'll take off 55 mins.

Where do you see that data? I'm guessing it happened when I put a lot of power into that last downhill just before the end.

Hey!! You were hard to draft AAAC. I think your trainer is still a little different as the sensitivity for drafting you is quite extreme. Much easier to draft LB & Guy. Looked like you had the same trouble drafting me as you were either falling back or flying past. I think we got some effect though.

Its coz I'm a skinny git and the wind goes straight through me.
Takes me half an hour to get wet in the shower!

I recorded that one for you ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/zz8mltvzuqqvbdy/Bkool Indoor 20_02_16 17_16_13.mp4?dl=0

I'll leave it there for a few days. As usual have to download to see past 15 minutes.

Thanks AAAC. I see that my speed is showing as much less consistent than yours. The graph shows that the speed peaks way up at the bottom of every hill where I fire it up for the slingshot. Strange the graphs are so different though considering we were almost always within sight of each other.

It a shame that you can't adjust the axis so you can get a clearer picture of the differences.

I must admit I was feeling crap today and wasn't going to race at 100% but it looks like I helped you to acheive the fastest time for the stage and improved my own time despite backing off right at the end because of my stitch (I know excuses, excuses).
At this rate I might have to go back to my classic but that would only give me a downhill advantage.
I was probably not so good on the slingshots on accounnt of the apparent effort I was putting in to stay in competition i.e. my 4.45 w/kg to your 3.64, (the lowest of the top 4 but the best time).
Perhaps next time I should just press on with my own race and give drafting a miss.
I was tying to look for the allow drafting setting but I assume its in the session creation and not a personal setting as I know I have see it somewhere.

Glad you found it easy! I was having to ride my @£5€ off!

You definitely helped me to get that time AAAC. It actually felt easier than Thursday even though the drafting was harder. I do wonder about my apparent lower w/kg which seems to always be the case in chaingang rides. Usually lowest of the top 4 irrespective of my placing. There is no ON/Offing going on but looks like there could be an average speed advantage even with the average w/kg reduction from my powering up for the slingshots and low power down hills.

Well you certainly did ride your 4rse off at the end, leaving me wondering where my mates had gone
