Who's messing with Guys broadband

Sorry can't help it he's been kicked of at least 3 times and one of those just shy of the finish with a 20 odd minute lead

I kicked myself off! Clearly something not quite right tonight. The first session was too easy. Restarted and still too easy. logged out and back in felt much better but obviously still not right. I beasted myself but I'm not that fast! Disappointed I was up for a good race tonight.

 

[GuySJ]

Well that ended rather abruptly! Rear tyre blowout just under 25m in!

Kids came running in thinking I'd been shot!

Just as I was about to make my major move as well....

I had that a couple of weeks ago!

 

[Randyberlin]

Thanks for the encouragement Kipster and Rick. I couldn't get into 3D before the ride so watched Monte gain the whole race.

 

[Randyberlin]

Monte I jumped off at the start then we were almost perfectly even the whole race. I am paying the price now.

It looked like one of my drop outs on some sessions due to network. I think after the second one I thought you're not gonna make it. When you dropped out on the last descent I could not help it, , just glad I wasn't drinking anything. . Hope you get it sorted

You did seem a little fast, even for you, but you'd have been tough to beat anyway I'm sure even with your recent weight increase. Hopefully next time it'll be working better.

What glorious fun.
Did feel at quite a disadvantage with my lovely vortex as having to produce upwards of 240 to hold on downhill. Will have to contact my Spanish chums over at Bkool as I feel this is one of the major hurdles to overcome for majority take up. I would like to have one of their fine machine's though don't you think the poor are disadvantaged enough without having to crucify themselves on the declines.
Works well overall though scope for muchos improvmemtios.
Cheers
Lars P Engstrum.

well done all ..

I messed my start up - I jumped all over the place at the beginning, then settled down and found a rhythm - started to close in on Randy (woke him up) and then spent the rest of the ride trying to get on Randy's wheel. Great workout !!! thanks for organising Rick...

 

[kev.slaney]

Wow, great epic chaingang. Thanks for the teamwork,drafting @Cjbon. Certainly made a difference. Don't know whether it affects the trainer or whether it's in your mind. Can't see my ride in my activities tho, hopefully it will appear

Appeared just after midnight. It didn't take me that long to finish!!...honest

 

[BILL S]

Well done LB. You broke me in the end. It was a fun race as we both seem to have almost the exact same bkool superpower. I don't know how many times we swapped places but it felt like about 100.
Sorry Rick, I wanted to let you join in the fun but I couldn't let LB get away.

Edit: Did I imagine it or did you just go and do a Top100 climb straight away after that Lars

 

[bobinski]

Wow that was tough. As usual I Lost my connection before the start and bkool just froze. Reboot and you lot had gone. So I gave chase again only to be confused by riders coming in the opposite direction. When did that start? And then after 10km I lost the connection completely but decided to keep going on my own. Nowhere near as much fun as being part of a big ride Finished in 1. 08.24 but not showing yet. Before then I managed to see Guy race pass me like a rocket not one but twice
Well done all especially LBHIFI followed very closely by Bill.
New gaming laptop arriving tomorrow and hopefully connection and bkool freezing issues at an end.

Yeah great ride kev just didn't have enough in the engine to stay with u at the end. Issues for a few people tonight guy went past me twice I figured either his internet was down or he had lapped me twice also cadence meter playing right up rpm average was about 12 what gear was I in.

 

[Breedon]

Well my tactics for tonight went out of the window tryed to chase down monte, soon as he hit a down hill he was gone after that it went to pot.
Well done all, going to give it another go on Saturday see you then.

 

[Insomina]

Booted my out at 40KM - just as I was going to make my move from last.

Power down 50W from Tuesday night. Guess I should not of had that pie before I got on the bike.
