I spent most of the morning fixing my gears . The cable snapped on my

All of my attempts at top 100 are getting flagged because of missing heart rate & Los of connection ????? Is this happening to everyone ? There are only 2 peps with a result ...

Help !!! new replacement trainer arrived this evening, the first thing I noticed was a sticker on the trainer saying uk market. It hasn't asked me to do an software update, what's your thoughts ??? Planning on a road ride tomorrow but all being well will try it out in anger.

Just wanted to know if anyone else who has had their trainer recently has the same sticker

Could just be referring to the correct plug being delivered?

Ran out of time to do Ventou today -honest!- so did Tourmalet instead.

Shorter than Ventou so a "little" easier.

Not happy . I know I can't climb because of my weight and the software adjusts for it. But to have sessions stop because the software adjustments cause an over speed on the down hill sections is beginning to hack me off . Just had my Wrynose and Hardknott Pass session stop on me after just going over the first hill. For me I thought I was doing quite well .

There is no point in having another go, because it will crash at the same spot again, as other sessions have in the past.

Oh well I'll just have to carry on losing weight and riding sessions with no really steep down hill sections.

Oh I also lost 20 minutes of another session prior to this due to a bsim total crash

It's the way it's been setup I believe. Don't worry as the administration can approve the ride anyway.

Can Thomas Olafsen and Luis Vicente Martinez please raise their hands of they're present.

Is it frozen completely? I have it give the blue numbers all the time on the downhill sections but have never had it lock up. I have had the video stall but it catches up later. Are you using a USB extension?

It puts up a 'do you want to end session' window and will not restart when you peddle. Like it does if you stop peddling in a session and the box pops up asking the same thing and continues when you peddle. I am using a usb extension cable. All of the sessions that have stopped early had a very high speed recorded as the end of the session >65mph iirc. It's a bit frustrating when you are an hour in, 2/3rds the way through and it just asks 'do you want to end session'

Yes, this will be happening to pretty much everyone. Rob might need to hire in some additional admin as there's a lot of rides to be approved in total.

Wow, that sounds frustrating. I'm 201 lbs and it does add a lot of speed downhill.

I'd suggest lowering your stated weight until it accepts your rides without any problems. With all this hill work you're doing you'll probably get down to that weight pretty quick anyway.

I could do that . But as I am now doing something about my 50yo sedentary life, I would rather not game the system to get a result. My registered weight is already about 6 pound below my current actual weight (I was about 15lb heavier) as the software will not generate a training plan at my actual weight.

I am working towards and achievable goal, for me. When there, I will set a new goal

Until then I will continue to struggle on

As long as you plan to continue.... Which it seems you are, to have made it up all the Mountain goat hills. Hopefully it gets easier with each one. As you say, achievable goals. That's what its all about.
