Just an update. I emailed Bkool who I must say emailed straight back which in the past it normally took a few days to respond, however, after resyncing the trainer and rebooting the pc everything went well tonight regarding the trainer. Gradients were smooth and almost instant and speed dropped and increased as expected so I am relieved for the moment that all is well with the trainer - unless my stats say otherwise for the Rio route ( I think they reflect the session accurately as my legs are tired)

That's cool. Warranty is OK but it always involves and effort and a wait.

Team GB do it again on the track.
Several World Records and a Gold all in one night.
Fingers crossed for the men's sprinters as things are looking good at the moment.
What a race that final Team Pursuit was, the Aussie's took it to the line, and Bradley looks like a man that doesn't want to have to do that again (and he probably won't have to) plus well done the Danes.

It was a little nail biting during the first half with Australia upping their performance to world record pace. I was cheering when GB began to eat into the aussies lead. With a few laps left, Australia down to 3 men and GB holding 4 for another 2 laps I thought it was in the bag, but then the GB train split on the last lap. Great race and result.

Cracking but somewhat nerve racking race! Took a while for my heart rate to subside^_^

I cannot do the run today. I forgot Chez bobinski are entertaining from 5 today so currently sneaking in a zwift ride to justify eating of copious amounts. I will give it another go tomorrow though if anyone interested.

I was watching it on my lap top while the wife whatched TV.
I gave out a big cheer at the end and took my earphones off and looked at her and she was giving me add look.
I apologised for the big cheer and explained why and she said she had guessed that was what had happened but she said it was the heavy breathing in the build up that worried her as she thought I was not well.
Real nail biter but that was miles better than watching a formality and that last minute split in the final three made it even more hair raising.

Getting back into BKool after the 4 weeks off due to travel. Completed 2 of the BKool Summer Rides and I'm in 456 position overall :B) I have 4 weeks to get my fitness back and see how high I can get up the board ... top 350 would be nice :biggrin:

If you complete them all, at or close to your normal level, a top 100 is currently a good chance :thumbsup:. Look where I am :eek:.

GB Women's track cycling is falling apart as predicted with the loss of Shane Sutton.
Not!
Gold for the girls again helped by the Americans falling apart but it was another World Record
Well done girls.

Kenny and Skinner are looking good in the sprints as well, fingers crossed.

Well we haven't got a gold in the men's sprint yet but we will, and a silver!

Well done Becky James as well with a Silver, she had the win in her but went too late but it's good to see her back and winning.
