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 I have 4 weeks to get my fitness back and see how high I can get up the board ... top 350 would be nice

I've had 8 weeks off due to holidays and being a lazy sod, just had my first bkool session yesterday!! And no I haven't been out in the real world either in that time except for a spin last Saturday. Must get back in the swing of things!! oh and I have about 250 pages to catch up on here, have I missed much??

@kipster,
Are you taking notes? Isn't that how you broke your collarbone? You should have just ridden up the wall.

That's it I'm done now I been beaten in stage 6 of the Summer Cup by someone (yellow hat)
1. Doing less than 2 W/Kg
2. Finishing with an HR of 82 bpm
3. Whilst doing almost 82 kph on the flat (ish).
4. More impressive is the 80.3 kph going up a pretty steep hill (30m climb in 400m).
Never mind he's not on page 1 or 2 in the GC.

Bill you only need a couple on minutes to climb 2 places,can I help?

Jacob is less than 2 minutes behind me so I need to watch out on the flat stages

I'll have a go at my next track session in November Randy. If you don't hear from me, you'll know how it went

Impressive skill, mind you I don't think she had much choice.

It's comical. The speed goes from 27 to 50mph up hill in one data point. Honest Ociffer nothing to see here

Stage 6 was pretty vicious for such a short stage. Only 8 minutes or so in my case but I'll not be repeating it any time soon. 8 minutes of intense pain was the best way I could describe it. And then some guy comes along and does it with the slope reduction set to 100% or something along those lines. Surprising AID still beat him, but then AID did go up hill at a ridiculous speed. I was ahead of him while it was flat but then he showed me just how weak I am on the hills.

If you're able to help me climb those few places then great! Stage 7 looks to be flat with smallish hills. The trouble is after the first flat there's the hill land I'll be too slow for you there although I'm optimistic I can make up some time on that stage because the flats are long enough and that's where I can go fast. Hills is where everyone passes me.
Other problem is it's going to be warm this week so may have to wait for cooler weather to make a decent attempt.

If you can keep Jabob at bay, you'll hopefully get second place and if it's anything like last year, you'll get some free bkooling out of it.

Dane breaks Bradley Wiggins 4000m individual pursuit Olympic Record in the mens omnium.
Well done Lasse Hansen who is a great omnium rider any way.
He won the first event as well.
So he rides a track race, wins it in a two man break, and then an hour later wins and individual pursuit, amazing!

Looks like he is for real: https://www.strava.com/segments/952843
25 kph avg on a 5 % slope for 3 km is not bad at all.

That's as crazy as going 72 miles in 3 hours.

Shame Cavendish wasn't able to build a nice lead in the omnium last night. His road skills came to the fore as he snuck up the inside straight, akin to jumping over a roundabout. Unfortunately it's not allowed. Still well placed especially after a superb 4k pursuit coming 2nd

I've been away for a few days - has the promised firmware update happened yet?

Not quite Unless of course he weighs less than 40 kg.
