I was 6 seconds behind Paul in the 1st Moose ride tonight. Kev is leading Paul by 36 seconds. (My ride not showing in the league yet).
It's a flattish course but quite tiring none-the-less.

Anything under 8% and I'm doomed(and I'm the heavy guy at 77 kg?)
Things were a little better with a conti gp4000 s tire though, but I was also at another PC, so I'll have to try the new tire at the usual pc tomorrow.
Also have an appointment with Bkool tomorrow, so maybe they can sort it out.
I had similar problems - bkool dialled in checked some settings, re-loaded the bsim app and it's loads better now.

Apologies for not making the race, got a bit antsy and couldn't wait until 7 
But may, depending if my planned CX jaunt works out, redo on sat night

Cheers I will do that and hope it should resolve. Probably just a mac being a mac!
Well played Rick, Just a bit too long for me to hold on to you.
I was in front on one of the last climbs, looked down to try and find the right gear and when i looked back you had shot in front by 7 secs..didn't see you again!
Bill was slowly coming back to me near the end and i had to grind it out to the finish.
All good fun, thanks guys
Anyone any suggestion on dampening bkool noise on this thread?:

Thanks for that, is that an admin from this site or on Bkool?
I can send photographic evidence of how fat I am (not sure if that sounds like a threat or a promise!)
Just looking to next week's stage which begins flattish with minor ups and downs followed by a climb averaging 4% then finishing on the descent.
The climb is reasonably long taking up about half the stage, so next week will suit the climbers better than the first two stages........ so that's me beat!

Well done again Rick. This time a more decisive victory (over me anyway). Jonbon I did make that last effort to come back at you but just couldn't get close enough to mount an attack. I think it worked against me because I had to just about coast the last minute or so. You guys are getting too quick for me.
Looks like everyone got a good race with the good evenly spread turnout. Looking forward to next week
LB I thought you had it cracked at first with the new tyre but as things progressed I could see that it was not the case. At least you'll still beat us on the hills though with the power you make.

Ok a quick test and the app might just allow us to communicate in a different way and it doesn't need dormant Facebook accounts to be brought back to life.
The app is available on iOS, android, Windows phone, with desktop apps for Windows, Mac and Linux.
It's called slack and it's free. It it very much like whatsapp.
I have secured bkoolcyclechat.slack.com
If a few of you can send me your email addresses (click on kipster and when my profile summary appears use start conversation) I'll invite you and we can beta test.
Also it's easier to install the app first but don't register or anything but follow the link in the email that is sent.
I noticed that I'm still over a minute off your best time for that course Bill. Guess I was lucky to catch you on an off night!Well done again Rick.
