Who on here isn't the wrong side of 40? I'm 46 next birthday and loving this cycling lark

Yup 43 and at the point where my life insurance is costing about the same as my car insurance.

Another question for those that are used to the Bkool interface.

I created a route last night from strava however after importing the file (should be a hill climb) I see that it is all flat and no elevation.

How do I delete this from the scheduled list within Bkool. The only option I have is add to favourites.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

You don't, it'll disappear automatically.

Sorry folks - another question,

Firstly I think the Bkool interface is pants. It is not well explained in the manual and navigating around I find clunky to say the least, however, I successfully created a route from strava and can see this in my favs and under scheduled. It has also been accepted by Bkool.
I tried searching for it through the search option in Bkool and was unable to locate it. I could see when I went to edit it, this was marked as personal. The only options are group or league and as I am not admin in either I am sure thats why they were greyed out.
When this is marked as personal does that mean I am the only that can see it or is available to anyone that knows the name of the route or Bkool puts it in a rotation for anyone to use?

Valdezezcaray - 13.8Km.

I apologise in advance for this maybe been asked numerous times in the past or just another daft question from me!

Not daft at all- I was caught out just the other week trying to find something on the session search - takes a while to get your head round. If you untick video and type Valdezezcaray in as a keyword it finds two routes created by you Nutty. 13.8km course hopefully listed as a link below.

http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/856863?durationType=DISTANCE&lapCount=1

When using the search it pays to first of all wait a few seconds after hitting enter, as its very slow to respond and it appears to have not found anything at first. If you still fail to find something you know should be there start unticking boxes, starting with Video then 3d.

Anything that gets uploaded to Bkool seems to go straight into the public domain for anyone to use.

Excellent mate and thank-you. I thought I was losing the plot and with the day I am having I think I have!

Bill,

A route for consideration for a future mountain goat league

Valdezezcaray - 13.8Km

Slightly shorter than the previous one I had suggested last week

First post, so just wanted to say hi to everyone.

Bought a Bkool Classic 2 about a month ago, and plan to get some use out of it over the coming when it's a bit nippy and depressing out side.

I'm a Male Veteran 3 in the Bkool World, which is not surprising as I will be collecting my OAP in a few months time.

Currently do a daily commute to the station and enjoy cycling around the Peak Disrtict from my home in Chesterfield.

Looking at what you guys are upto regarding leagues, I think the Mountain Moose league will be my cup of tea, probably without the Mountain bit, as the bathroom scales groan a bit when they see me coming.

Looking forward to joining in.

Cheers, Dave

Can someone explain the veteran 3, veteran 2 thing to me as I am new to this? Thanks

Welcome to the wonderful world of BKool Dave, and a fellow Veteran 3
We should start an oldies league, only flat/downhill courses and with a 5 min natural break in the middle!

 

[theboxers]

Is anybody else having trouble with the league sessions tonight Nov 4th. I have tried both a T100 and a Moose session and keep getting kicked out.

Any live sessions are ok.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

I can do absolutely nothing
