Looking at that and I think it will be x10. I 'liked' the post but I am not sure about the admins recomendation.

You don't work for W. A. Truelove do you?

LOL Had to look them up but yeah, I see what your saying. Its all about taking your time though and I know you've done as hard before.
More than other rides though it will make you feel badass after you've completed it.

Also I found a cheep set of wireless switched adaptors from B&Q so I can turn it on and off sat on the bike, same goes for the turbo.
A bit like these

More things to buy, great. Actually it will help not having to put on a top over my bibs at the beginning of a ride just to stay warm with the fan on before the exertion sets in and I warm up anyway and have to rake the top off, only to allow Bill to get in front and pull away.

It so nice to know that someone else strips down to bibs when the going gets tough.

Have you got a USB extension cable? That's pretty important to get your Ant+ close to the unit.

Plugged a usb cable straight from PC into the unit itself next to where the power cable goes in
Still no joy? Ps don't know if your meant to that though

Just accepted carlsberg into the goats and chaingang from another thread just in case he's on the list.

Thanks, accepted him as well.

Just did Chinorlet - Campules as part of the Dec Chaingang My time was 51.32. I stopped 10m before the finishing line. I believe that may allow the league admin to adjust my team to make up for my Vortex Bkool Steroids.

Seeing that my speed on the flat is 25% more on Bkool than in real life, can you add 25% to my finishing time? I think if would give me roughly 64 minutes. Just put me behind the nearest person with a similar time.

Let me know if this is fair of if it should be more.

The usb port on the classic is for updates? Not for PC/trainer control, you should have an ant+ dongle plugged into the PC. Most people on here have a usb extension lead in the PC and the ant+ dongle at the other end of the extension which is placed near the trainer.

Just added to your time to make it 64 minutes. I'll have to have a closer look at this sometime to see what we can work out as a constant compensation but thanks for the heads up

Am I the only person without a fan? Does it help a lot? I do sweat like a pikey in an ID parade, but don't have a fan to keep me cool.

Go straight out and buy one! It makes more difference than you will imagine.
