Can not believe I have just done Col de la Madeleine from the wrong league . Done it from the januar league instead of the goat league . :banghead::banghead::gun: We'll it looks as if I will not be going on a outdoor ride tomorrow after all ..

I'm willing to start it mate, but never set one up before, I'm presuming I find the ride in the league tab at 17.00 and just start and everyone else just joins in from the live tab?
if anyone else whos done it before is willing to we shall let them if not I ll give it a go :smile:
I have started them before if you would rather I did? Really don't mind?
If so I am Adski on the Bsim. Let me know?

Quick update with my zwift set up - I started off with doing the bkool firmware update, then went into the zwift settings and moved the reality to around 80%. The course was the Richmond worlds course, the power felt the same as it would on the bkool sim on the whole course...the speed was roughly 4-5mph slower than my garmin sensor on the climbs and showed faster speeds on the downhill sections (don't know by how much) but I'm guessing that's adjusting for my weight at 210lbs. Thank you to everyone that took the time to point me in the right direction, whilst it's different to bkool I do like the zwift software and going to try some of their workout plans next week.

Bonno,
May be a stupid question but have you unticked auto in bkool set up and then manually chosen the bkool trainer to enable the fec profile for Zwift? I get occasional delay in response but nowhere near 6 seconds and my speeds are ok.
Yes checked that thanks, but after ticking the manual box it only says ant+ nothing about Fec! (although i do shout a few Fecs when it don't work :rolleyes:)

New to this site, it looks like people are using the trainers right now... I received the upgrade to 2.54 of the indoor app but am now unable to download and launch scheduled sessions. Log in, select scheduled, it is there but appears to time out and I get disconnected. I installed the indoor trainer app on a second machine that never had the product installed before (so a clean install) and same result. Same result logging in and waiting for the display of live sessions. Any advice other than emailing Bkool, as they respond Monday-Friday.... thanks!

I forgot to mention - both machines are Windows. Upgrade was on a Win7 machine, fresh install was on a Win10 machine.

Maybe the idea of live a goat race has been tried before but i would be up for it if anyone else wanted to set up a regular day & time like the chaingang. Maybe 7pm uk time on Tuesdays?

I don't know if I can on a regular basis, but next Tuesday I'm in!. On Saturdays I can't, on weekends there are real roads to ride in :whistle:

How can a 'flat' road have so many hills in it?
I found that one really hard. My fitness level isn't the best so I really struggle if I can't get into a rhythm

There were also sections where image on the screen didn't seem to match the gradient . Or I found myself pedalling through the scenery.

Glad you've got it working Monte, I actually just had another quick try and it seems to be a lot better for some reason, (i did install the Bkool update beforehand!) will have to have a good go tomorrow.
By reality do you mean the trainer difficulty setting?

Well **** me, that was really ******* hard, nearly ******* killed me!!!!! Randy???? Wtf have you been doing since I've been away?? I have one word for you...CHEAT! And as for you AAAC, obviously some kind of computer hacker!

Bert you pushed me the whole way, I would have cruised that if you hadn't been snapping at my heels. Forgot just how much fun these live sessions were. Thankyou guys, but unfortunately I was so entertained, you are stuck with me for a while now... or certainly until I get injured.
