Good luck - what a pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

 

[Breedon]

You're welcome to join me .

I tend not to use ghosts as I am trying to learn how my body reacts to the ups and downs on these sessions. Drafting will pull me out of the zone I am trying to be in. Also, for some reason, I end up racing rather than following. I even did to a ghost of myself the other day and blew up half a mile from the finish

If you use ghosts add my previous ghos as I'll be joining you so i can beat it you still starting at 5pm?

Kipster has set a new world record 131miles in 3hr30. Me thinks Strava is broken slightly, given what Rick said the other day

Easy to do on two wheels

I'll be starting the Ventoux at 17:0 as planned.

Odd spell check suggest Ventoux = Ventolin

It looks like it doubled up, 65.5 miles in that time (18mph average on moving time of 3:38), I won't be on the turbo today

Need some help Gents

I'm having problems pairing my trainer. I can't pair it via ant+, so have to do it via "ble" or something similar on the pairing screen. What is that and should I assume I have a problem with either my ant+ dongle or the extension lead it's attached to?

This started happening first race post big update.

I'm just watching Boxers and Whorty on Ventoux, well done guys!

How can Bkool get it's Remaining time estimates so wrong.

Ventoux is a very consistent gradient, and with 2.5 miles to go, at an average 6 mph and doing 6 mph at the time, it says 6 minutes to go!

Any fool can see it is more likely to be around 25 minutes...

Whatever average it is using, last second, last minute, last hour, power or speed, no way is it going to take only 6 minutes!

A more pointless and useless indicator I have rarely seen.

Looks like it'll be 2. 5 hours at least for me then. HID has plans tonight and wants me off the bike by 7 so I'm going to have to start my attempt by 4.30 Feel free to join if others want to jump on and chase me down!

Munchkin duties & prepping for in-laws visit... Maybe I'll find a spare few hours *while* the in-laws are here to ride it again...

Cheers Geoff I thought that might be the case. So looks like either the extension or dongles knackered? Bit of a coincidence it happened right after the update no?

Agreed- They should just get rid of it.
