Geoff can u look at my handicap time for Tin Can Ten Time Trial as the time from the chaingang was using the on off method before we figured it was screwing with the times now my riding style is more stable

That's pretty much what I had in mind when I said there were some surprises in the results, you're surrounded by people 10 fitness levels ahead of you.

If anyone can give a good reason why they should have a higher handicap (earlier Start Time), or wants to volunteer to have a lower one (later ST), feel free...

Always seems to go live around 10pm, it's live now!

Hi Geoff. Just wondering if you have received my request on BKool to join your group? All new to chat rooms, please accept my apologies if I have not contacted you via the correct avenue.

Hi Geoff. I would also like to join the new handicap group? I have had the Bkool since Christmas and currently cycling from Land Ends to John o' Groats (in stage of about 25 miles). Currenly I am Active 7.

Could you tell a little bit more?

Thanks Wayne

Just saw your reply. Thanks fort that. Did you receive my request to join your Bkool group?

AAAC....just watching you on Geoffs video - some massive watts swings from over 1000w then to 200 ish....

You must have missed my

"My time is void tonight as I have a confession
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
All seemed well as I began to wind up my cadence ready for a flying start.
All this time I have music in my snug fitting sports ear buds, and then my start time comes up and I'm off.
Things didn't feel right and then I realised I was flying up an ascent at over 50kph, somethings wrong!
Ear buds out reduce cadence and then realise I have that tell tale buzzing sound of the stepper motor stuck on its bottom stop and so I am getting zero resistance."

I aspire to be distinctly average

Can't see that I will get that good!

Chaingang league was due to start today but still isn't active for some reason. Bound to be ok for tomorrow's race I assume as it lists it as starting on the 10th.

See you all at 7pm.

Hi folks,

I hope to be back tomorrow. I have been missing since since December after having a back complaint that completely knocked me out and I am tired of being challenged and being beaten on previous times

I might be a bit slow but have to start back somewhere!

Erm, excuse me, I'll have you know, my Bkool bike gear is extremely fashionable and sought after. I have had several requests to copy my designs....ok, 1 request....well not so much a request, as a complaint...

You do realise that your outfit motivates people to come past you quickly and just the once.

Glad to be of service!

Apparently AAAC goes through everyone else but actually pulls out to pass you .

I knocked up the Handicaps for the results posted, and got some suspiciously high fitness athletes with quite high handicaps... might have to tweak those for an initial run. Also, need to fill in others.

I think I may have improved since that one! was one of the first rides I done,

Geoff, isn't AAAC a little too close to the rest of us? I think he could still win this one.

I'm only Active 9 because I'm female-would be active 4 if male and I'm quite light so total watts are disappointing compared to watts/kg-can I keep my handicap please!!

Blimey I leave you all alone for an evening and you start getting all sciency again with your heart rate monitors. Got the Garmin chest one, leave it in the garage near the bike therefore it is cold therefore I don't put it on because it isn't very nice putting a cold HRM monitor on. Think that tells you enough about how seriously I take using a HRM.
