Ah pants - just did telegraphe and there's no trace of my ride anywhere. 
That's never happened before! (I aint doing it again!! 
)
Starting to doubt myself, thinking did I hit reject rather than accept - surely not
@scott1505 did you get a notification of being challenged by any chance?

No can do, work christmas dinner tomorrow night would be tight for time.
I've a couple of climbs scheduled to help with my appetite though

If I get home in time I fancy another go - reckon I can take a minute or two out of my Thursday night time
Unless you have mountain bike gearing I doubt the gearing would be the limiting factor. As Kipster says, see if you're spinning out in top gear on the FTP test before you reach your maximum steady wattage. Seems unlikely to me.
Hi Spodnie
Sorry you didnt get a reply in your other thread. It seems most of us only get notifications when this thread is updated and miss the other ones.
What average watts would you do on a typical mountain climb? if it's not too rude can I ask what weight you are also?
It's certainly hard to hold the watts on the flat compared to climbing and depending on how tired I am, I would be top gear and spinning fast on any sort of decent (say -2% and under). I'm on a compact chainset for reference. The more weight you carry the easier you will spin out.
Even on the velodrome there will be stretches that I find myself in top gear for a few laps when trying to pull away or catch someone where gravity isn't factored in!
My first crack at the FTP test was 245 watts and I am 84 kg so I am no pro!
I guess my main concern is spinning out in my highest gear which would never happen on the road.
I'll be there.

Rick. If you don't fancy doing it again just do a dummy run and I'll fix it for you. Better to have your ride in the results than not. Same goes for everyone else.

I have installed el capitan to to my mac and reinstalled Bkool software and all appears to be running well. I hope to be in there after Thursdays lack of connection on my part.
It had a lot of signal drops. I'll approve it momentarily.
'twas hoping to ride myself yesterday, but essentially collapsed into bed as soon as I got home, only getting up to interact with the kids, then right back to bed. Note to self, never schedule a 6am flight back home from the east coast again. It works out to getting my day started at 2am in my normal timezone. Expecting to knock out a session or two tonight.
What's your bkool id? I see 10 members that have joined -- I haven't had to approve anyone, it seems to accept anyone (which is what I wanted anyway).
