Geoff - just out of interest - i can't see the last ride we did - can you ?

Mine was there last night, but seems to have vanished now. Strange!

No, I can't see any of the rides any of you posted, and the league shows no-one having done more than 1 attempt.

As Whorty says, I'm sure I saw some of the rides on your Walls, but they seem to have gone again.

Gremlins, I'm afraid, they will probably show up eventually. Hopefully they can't lose everyone's ride...

jeez....I am doomed. I was all ready to go yesterday on the re-run. On pins all day, everything ready to go, warmed up and sweaty, bit jittery at 16.45....no problem with the tech all day.....then bang.....internet goes totally *its up and I cannot get a connection to Bsim....constantly knocking out the connection & couldnt connect to the powerline/net via an ethernet cable either. Then the lights on the powerline die....I dont have a connection. Fiddle fiddle, throwing a few expletives around whilst hobbling about in the shoe plates feeling stupid dripping sweat everywhere. Bollocks...allotted start time goes by..its gone...
Everything thrown in a heap, raging mood to kill the ragiest of moods, cooked dinner then got the red wine out.

Tech sorted today, reset & cloned the powerlines, have a great and stable ethernet connection from the powerlines.

Been royally screwed around by others at my sons football game this morning, which I gave up a road ride to attend, so raging mood comes back with a vengence about 10.30 this morning when it looks like we are going to miss our kick off deadline thorough a series of numpty manager and parent action/inactions. Thought right, that turbos going to get a right seeing to. Got kitted up and into the Liam ride again....pain feels great and its salving my temper. Then reality hits, I am nearly sick and finished the ride seeing double.....thats got to be a better time.

It is by about 20 secs....with ave watts about the 300 mark. You guys that can add 100w to that..dont know how? I need to loose 3 stone to get a decent W/kg....dream on..

whats the drill for thursday? will deffo be there....

For me, there is no doubt the attitude benefits of Bkool far outweigh the physical benefits. There was this poster on the Bkool facebook site.

Well, I don't even get how you do 300 Watts. The amount of power needed for me to do that, would be the equivalent of a solo ride on my race bike cruising at 40 kph (24.85 mph). I can't keep that up for too long.

Sorry folks. Between the trip over the pond to Belgium and getting sick on the return leg, I haven't put the moose rides back up. Just starting to feel halfway normal again and will get the rides back up today. Cheers

OK, there does seem to be enough interest to try a final run of the current Handicap Chase stage on Tuesday evening, to see how that works out.

Also, it gives the likes of Rick a chance to join in!

If popular we could do other runs from time to time on a Tuesday?

7pm is the usual start time, would 8pm be better, or is that too late for most?

Then I think Thursday is back to the normal Chain Gang session. I'm sure one of this months stages will be suitable for a Handicap Chase next month.

Cheers,

Geoff

The Hanidcap Chase League results for the stage are now including the Saturday results for those guys who didn't do the Thursday run, but only Thursday's for the rest (even if the Saturday time was faster).

They are also showing elsewhere, again just for those who didn't do the Thursday run.

This makes me wonder if it is something to do with the previous times. Makes no sense, though as I didn't get asked to accept and session where the time was improved (or where it wasn't), there was definitely some of each, and there is no reason why the rides shouldn't show in your own results.

Hopefully as some of the rides are showing, it is just a Bkool glitch, and once they get back into work tomorrow it'll get sorted out.

It would certainly suit me.

 

[Soarerv8]

I'm looking forward to another battle with you too. You were very tough to catch in the last event.

Next time I am putting my fan behind me for some back wind help

 

[Soarerv8]

It would certainly suit me.

Yep 7pm is tough for me too 8pm works better but happy to go with whatever suits everyone else

 

[Roleur1]

1900 is good for me Tuesday

Soarer and I struggle as Happy Hour is 7-8pm.

My problem is just kids! They are in bed by 7:45pm, so 8pm just gives me a bit more freedom.

 

[Brendan Parker]

Don't want to turn this into a drama but 20.00 would be better for me. Too much of a rush.
But obviously if it suits more then 19.00 it is.

 

[kipster]

I could do 8pm, just means I won't get to eat my dinner until 9pm. I can't eat before a full on session, well not more than a banana.
