Way to go Lars. It looks like you beat Marc Molla. Where did you finish on your summercup race?
Go Lars go!! I hope you're rested and ready to represent the cycle chat team.
Hi RandyWay to go Lars. It looks like you beat Marc Molla. Where did you finish on your summercup race?
Yeah, definitely finding it harder to get motivated when there's no set time.I miss our weekly online 'ride like a looney rides' can't seem to find the same level of motivation on my own.
If as many as possible could help out with this:
Is everyone else's bkool seriously underestimating how long there is to go in a session?
Today it estimated for about the first third of the course that I would finish in about 40 minutes and it continued to predict times waaay under what I actually achieved. I emailed bkool and this is the answer I got:

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your message. Time remaining estimation is calculated from your average power within the last 30 seconds, distance to the other riders or finish line and the session's gradients. It is normally accurate, but there could be some differences sometimes, as you can easily imagine.

This has happened every ride for the past number of weeks so could I ask everyone who has the same problem to bombard bkool with the same complaint til they take notice.

Thanks, It was total chaos. I had a puncture right before the warm up, and had to pull out the old steel Bianchi (the one I use as my avatar). It was a few minutes past 18:00 when I got back to the PC and searched for the session, but it was nowhere to be found. I was just about to give up when it finally popped up, but it was already in progress, even though it was only 3 minutes past 18:00 (We need Geoff).
Quickly jumped on the steel Bianchi and began to make my way up through the riders.I never saw the guy we were supposed to race against. I think I ended up in second place.
And Bill, this was one of the toughest rides I have made so far on the BKool, and I only averaged 290 Watts.
A question: How do I get the Chain Gang name included in the rankings.
Yours shows up in my rankings, but mine doesn't show up in my rankings. So I'm guessing it just doesn't show in your own.A question: How do I get the Chain Gang name included in the rankings
Ahh, I think I got it, thanks Randy:Yours shows up in my rankings, but mine doesn't show up in my rankings. So I'm guessing it just doesn't show in your own.
I just started a new series. It's called "race them on their own turf". I just beat Kipster on his Arelsford ride and Darryn on his Destlebugen ride. The rest of you should be shaking in your cleats. But Bill it won't be your Strathpuffer ride. And Lars when I found your lbhifi6prct I noticed you are now wearing green. Congratulations.
