There's me thinking Bill had done his ride and sabotaged it so we couldn't best his time!

I'm out. Will try Saturday, but I'm on call until a week Friday, so will try to get it done tomorrow. I'll join Sat as well if I can.

Ooh, I had one of those! Where is it? If it's in your groin I would guess that cycling hard would hurt ...

In my stomach

I see there is a new update to the simulator. Among other things:

Users without a Bkool Trainer can now enjoy:
- Inertia when starting a climb or descent

What does this actually mean?

In reply to my own excitement nope it is still broken. As I sit here spinning my legs around aimlessly I realise how pleased I am that I didn't buy a normal turbo.

I did this ride yesterday...with my old winter bike strapped on with a 50t q ring. Blimey....rode my lungs out to be 4 minutes behind Bills record. constantly up and down the gearbox struggling to hold 260w ave. Death by 1000 cuts.... Tina came out to find out what the noise was in the garage....thats just me snorting and blowing..dont worry love...

I had my TCR ready to rumble tonight - sure the 53 ring would roll better...sods law that we were all hung out to dry.

maybe its your weight/energy carried by it into the start of a climb/descent. The resistance on my pro starts to bite a bit after the climb/descent starts to show in the incline scale..maybe this is eased now?

If that was for an update, you'd think they could have let us users know via social media or something

chaps ...confused a bit. If it hadnt all gone horrible, would I have found this ride in 'live' programmed or leagues? I think its live, find it, open it and wait through the warm up led by whoever started the session - once they stop pedalling the ride goes live for all those on the session?

I found the ride under leagues tonight, not on live. I presume each thurs or sat you just get ready and do whatever warm up you want, then tune into live or leagues (whichever) find the ride and then join the official warm up.
