Team BKool CycleChat

[rob01792]

Just after some advice. My bkool trainer is on its way but my windows laptop I intend to use isn't working so my other alternative is to use an iPad air2. Does anyone use an iPad for the bkool simulator and how does it perform??

I used to use a Samsung tab worked perfectly well used with the tacx handle bar mount. does the ipad have ant +
I now use a laptop connected to a 42" tv in the garage

if you can find 'cyclechat mountain goats' on Bkool, just request to join up and we can add you.

I have applied for the mountain goats group now. What have I let myself in for?

Legs are begining to worry.

When I was trying to get some of these climbs on Bkool, I found a way of getting the corresponding segments off Strava and then uploaded them to Bkool.

Strava have all the 100 climbs as segments, and using third party tools I found a way (which I cannot now remember) to extract the GPX and upload it to Bkool.

Failing that, you could always recreate the climb in something like ridewithgps.com and export the GPX to upload to Bkool. Might take a few days for the ride to appear but it will fill in the blanks.

For example, the Malham Cove one is on Strava here https://www.strava.com/segments/6688083. Not too hard to to recreate this in ridewithgps.com and export to GPX.
Of course, you could just ride them all for real and then upload your rides!

Thanks Rick. I'll make you admin in the mountain goats. How many stages/weeks do you think we should have in the first league?

and

I knew you couldn't resist. Pity we were in different races though. Would have been a lot more fun if we were in the same, and at least I'd have got a good race. Did you come in second behind Pep?

Same as last winter was good I though, gives everyone time to complete the stages when it suits.
Bill, I've convinced 2 more to join up Gab and Travis should be sending requests for

• CycleChat Chain Gang
• Cycle Chat Mountain Goats
• Cyclechat Top 100

through Bkool some time soon. I said they should drop in here as well first though to say hi though!
Gab will def be giving you a run for your money up those climbs as well

Hi there, Gab here -- Darryn has gotten me into the whole BKool thing, and I'm pretty hooked already, so I'd love to give these group rides (races?) a go.

Hey, I had no idea that there were prices to win in the Summer Cup. Bill, we won 2 months premium subscription, and Rick won 1 month

Ooooooo... Didnt realise that myself!
So thats £8 saved. Well worth 8 hours of torture over 390km! Seriously though - nice to win something.

Nice one guys!

You certainly did Adam. I should have it set up to start this weekend.
Looking forward to some more close racing with you again.

Lol! It won't be close, but it will be racing. I will be blowing the cobwebs off my bike for this winter. I literally have a mountain to climb to return to last years level of bike fitness, but relishing the prospect!
