Team BKool CycleChat

[AAAC 76C]

I wish I could Bob, but the harsh reality is that I need a good day or two rest between league rides. There have been occasional exceptions but generally I'll be well down in performance if I ride 2 or 3 days in a row. LB on the other hand has done 5 days in a row quite recently.

Me three, I ride Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday or Sunday.
I was well amazed at Bill's velodrome ride last weekend straight after the 5:00pm re-run though.

I've just received the Be afraid league has started email

Yup. Me too. Better put the wine down tonight. Get some shut eye. And get ready for the pain! Glad I did the alp dhuez on Sunday as a practice run B-)

 

[Perky77]

Yeah, we should definitely try to do some of them as live races as per the chaingang. The trouble is picking a time when a decent number can make it.

Tuesday at is good for me, I'll struggle for any earlier

@BILL S second stage chaingang done. Legs bl**dy tired tired now!

I managed to put 25 ghost via the set up which really helped
Draughting is my new all time favourite word!

Tommy. I don't think there is very much at all between us. Different courses suit our particular abilities. Also being tired trying to do these intense sessions can be very draining. I know if I ride hard a couple of days in succession I quickly become fatigued.

This....

I am amazed AAAC, bill, brisgy and LB for example can ride so intensely ride after ride with no apparent ill effect. I need a couple of days between hard rides, sometimes more if I am also commuting by bike.

It's definately true that you can feel better from one day to the next from rest and general tiredness. But I think my fitness levels need to improve substantially if I'm going to get any quicker!

That was a one off. I'm usually too tired to even have a warmdown.

How did you manage to add the ghosts? I still can't add additional ghosts when I challenge someone in the league. Was it definitely ghosts you added (i.e real riders) or are you talking about Bots?

Didnt Bkool suggest adding both to make ghosts appear? or did I read the comment wrong- possibly!

Edit adding both bot and ghosts for me doesnt seem to work, I just get the unavailable screen at the end!

Weirdly, it's allowing me to edit and add ghosts to a normally scheduled ride, but not one where I've challenged someone

Why is there a 'cyclechat handicap' member next to most of you guys on here but my results don't show this. Have I got a setting wrong somewhere?

It doesn't list your own memberships, I guess they think you already know them!

I copied a stage of the chaingang, training loop. I the went to my scheduled list and added ghosts by editing the session there. I have not tried to do it by challenging.
