@BILL S - an idea for a future chaingang league inspired by The Boxers Richmond Park suggestion - laps of various circuits.

Richmond Park could count as one obviously - I've also ridden Brands Hatch race circuit in real life so I know that's available to ride in 3D, and a quick look confirms Silverstone and Castle Combe are in there for example. I'm sure there will be others too and you could just amend the no. of laps to a suitable chaingang type length of race....

thanks @theboxers do u know of a way to sync to strava with out strava syncing back when u do an outdoor ride
I am not a Strava user currently as I have only done a few outdoor rides.

I export a fit file from bkool using the export function on the activity detail page (4th button) and then port it to Garmin Connect manually via Fit File Repair Tool as Garmin bitches about Bkools formatting. It only takes 5 minutes.

I like the idea :thumbsup:. Unfortunately the video for Richmond Park only runs for the first lap. The 3D works for all laps.

Brands is available, no video though :sad:

Thruxton is on there as well, although only as a session with 10 laps or so.

My best on two wheels is about 12 minutes :whistle:

Edit to add a 3D version

Sounds like a good plan if bkool fix their dead stop problem. I think most of these circuits and certainly Richmond Park have enough steep sections to cause a sudden stop. We have until the end of October for bkool to do something about it/destroy it completely. Then it'll be new league time.

Pleased with that ^_^. Weight was similar to my real weight so I was trying to keep above 400watts average during the ride - I had to put everything into it to do that mind! Still a minute and a half behind AAAC carrying 11kgs more than me though! :rolleyes:

On old Firmware though which is a big advantage especially on climbs

Edit. Putting our stats into Bike Calculator and using the session average gradient and distance I would only have bettered you by 20 seconds.
I would be 14.26 (decimal) minutes and you 14.46
LB would have beaten us both with 13.87 minutes, half a minute ahead of you
Soarer would have been 13.56 minutes 18 seconds ahead of LB which is not far off
So my result is obviously the most false.
