Team BKool CycleChat

[Soarerv8]

When I first logged in to Bkool I aimlessly joined some groups just to see what was in them. I now get stacks of rides come up that I am not interested in in leagues, is it possible to leave a league, I can't work out how to do it. (don't want to leave the cyclechat leagues by the way just the other ones)

Thanks

Ignore me, I have just answered my own question!

Is anyone doing the rerun?

I'm assuming Rick will start it at 5pm. If there's no sign of him by about 5.02 then I will start the re-run session with a 10 min warmup as usual.

Chaingang Re-run 5pm

Course: Tin Can Ten Time Trial

Stage details: http://www.bkool.com/classification/showIndividualStageClassification/4554
10 Mile time trial (2 x 5 mile laps)

Warm-up begins at 7pm for 10 minutes - look for it under the 'Live' tab between 7 and 7:10pm - if you cant see it use the advanced search at the bottom of the screen and search for 'Rick'. Do not start the session from the League tab - you must join it from the Live tab if you want to race against each other.

TA DA!!

Sorry, not long into the house again - was trying to bend a car panel back into the approx shape it came out of the factory as. Can now at least open the passenger door again!

Anyways, havent got much cycling done this week and the legs feel pretty fresh compared to normal so hoping to do a decent time here (famous last words!)

Hi Jon. You're accepted onto the Chaingang but looks like you haven't requested to join the Mountaingoats yet.

Are the fan blades on your trainer rubbing against the round disc cover? If so, remove the cover to check that the catching has stopped. If this works then ask the supplier for a new cover to solve the problem. If this is not the problem then you will need to ask for a complete new unit.

Thanks Bill S. I will look at the mountain goats section soon.
Took my trainer back to the LBS today. The fly wheel was warped so I now have a nice new trainer to try. Fingers crossed this ones slightly easier to pedal up the hills!

Errmm... maybe not just that fresh!

once again couldnt get the ghosts to work - even though I tried a test run a few minutes ago and it did work!

 

[bobinski]

Will watch! Office Xmas do last night and fragile is about the right word for me. Good luck everyone

 

[bobinski]

Great race everyone! I did try to leave messages of encouragement but there was quite a lag on the iPad so they may have shown out of time. I felt knackered just watching

 

[RickB]

Thanks Bob - assuming it was you that posted on the road!

Thought I would do a bit better but 30 seconds behind Bill is a good result in my book. How on earth did you do that time Bob!!??

 

[Breedon]

Well that didn't work out well, shot off and gave it the beans for the first couple of miles then that was it just flagged, to top it off when in cool down bsim crashed so it didn't save my ride.

Rick it would have been good to try to work together but you were so much faster than me on the downhill and I was faster uphill. I'm guessing your BKOOL weight is a couple of KG more than mine and it screws with the speeds so much! I think it is not really possible to draft when you are going flat out unless you are with someone of the same weight and you knock the speed off a bit at first.
