I have 't started the chaingang, I'm going to start that tonight now that the educated have taught the masses how to do the velodrome stage. My query was related to the handicap league. The league has my first three stages shown but I did the fourth and isn't part of the final table. My sessions shows it with the little cup next to it, indicating it was part of the league.

I suspect that may be because you did the ride late, and the league closed soon after, before I had a chance to accept the ride.

Once the league has closed it doesn't show any rides awaiting acceptance, so I guess it dumps them out of the league.

In future I will leave the league open as long as I can, and close it as I publish the next one, after accepting any outstanding rides.

Sorry,

Geoff

. Just got all sorted, tyre pumped up, drinks to hand, emergency gel available, shorts and shoes on, pc fired up and just logging into bkool to have a go a the last chaingang stage and the ball and chain rings. I've been called out . No chance of getting back at a sensible time tonight . At this rate I am not getting any sessions in this week

OK, I give up!

Just tried to create a quick league for tomorrow's handicap, but get "This page is temporarily unavailable" every time I click on create button!

I really had hoped that we wouldn't still be struggling with this level of quality two years after I joined.

So, no formal league tomorrow at 8 pm, but happy to try and set something up for anyone who wants to ride at 8 pm, unless you want to run a chain gang session live for those that prefer an 8pm start?

So bkool combined 2 unrelated rides

Looks to me like that's what it's doing - if the two rides are on the same day

 

[bridgy]

I always thought that only rides over 30 mins counted towards that stuff. Strange and slightly annoying all in one!

Agreed!

 

[bridgy]

i admit that it was my fault for not changing weight for the silly blue shirt
but honestly i should never be a green shirt either - so if i hadn't done the second ride calming down , my fitness would have been even higher !?
i still think watts are playing up - i was getting more going along flat than i used to going up hills just doesnt seem the same as it used to

You're right, the 122% ride was probably incorrect somehow - like the one I did that put me to my current fitness level

Geoff sorry I didn't make any suggestions regarding future handicap stages, I couldn't think of any to be honest. Seems like options are limited at the moment. I'm quite tempted to do a hill stage tomorrow having been inspired by worty's efforts.

Thanks @kipster, it's all ready in my scheduled list for later tonight

Martyn, if you don't get the 120 laps done in the 35 minutes, finish the remainder in another session and add the times together. I only got 115 completed laps do in the time.

@JLaw Sorry, I saw your name on the league front and thought your were one of the admins .

I have since found a list. @BILL S @LBHIFI and @Rob_H (if you are the one on the list) and @cathrine brandt. To you all, is there going to be a repeat this year? Please.

It would be great if this happens really enjoyed it.

Geoff, how frustrating.

Does anyone fancy another go at the training loop with me?

No problem Geoff

I'd be up for doing the training loop tomorrow

@BILL S - I got an email that you posted something on my ride, but Bkool won't let me see it, so I can't reply sorry!!

Think I feel similar to Kipster as I thought my form would be better than what it is. Had to draft a lot today to stay in touch at all.

I can see it Rick;
18:35

Nice one Rick. You had me worried there for a minute

Try and challenge this ride:
http://www.bkool.com/bkoolSessionHistory/showSessionSummary/2888254

There were lots of riders (live and ghosts) so if they all appear if challenged then you should get a good dose of drafting, and you will be fine getting the 120 laps done in the 35 minute time limit.

I just challenged it myself and 21 riders in the session, happy drafting!

Cheers Kipster, guess who I have challenged?
Need to remember to stop at 30km though or just take a screen shot.
