Geoff, I hope I didn't actually start early. I did slow pedal for some time.
I don't think there was much slow about your session, pretty damn impressive, I thought!

Bkool seems to have gone on a go slow, and only Bob's result has showed up so far!
And that won't approve, just gives error trying to approve...
Sigh!

Indeed! I could tell by the speed of Bobs blob that he was going much quicker than me.
I think that's the new order of things. If you get my meaning
Thanks to all those who popped in to encourage my goat attempt.Did pretty well tonight. Only lost @BILL S after 2.4 km, and stayed with @Perky77 until 2km to go when I just couldn't stay with him. Then I pushed and pushed to hold off @Monte who slowly tracked me down. 500 mtrs out I had a battle to hold Monte off and beat him by 4 seconds (sorry!). I pushed 110% .... had that been a real ride with Monte I'm sure he would have reacted to me whereas a ghost can't but even so, well chuffed

Well done Whorty. I did that horrible climb this morning and you well and truly beat me, but strangely (or not) my time isn't reflected in the leagueThanks to all those who popped in to encourage my goat attempt.Did pretty well tonight.

No - your time is not in the league yet you was in the list of riders I could challenge so I can see you completed it

I am not so sure bill. Time at least a minute slower than you fast guys last month. I might have got close with drafting or someone to chase but once I was clear I was only looking to keep time between me and you and Bridgy rather than chasing a time that I might have struggled to achieve.

Looking at the recording you were making big watts and they are steady these days. I thinks its a bit of you being quicker than before and me being slower.

Well done Whorty. Very impressive when you consider the difference there used to be between us and now its just a minute or two.

I've noticed something strange with my reported times on my last 2 league rides. The actual times in my activity log for the 'main' part of the session is longer than what I actually took. Today, my actual time on the goat ride was 7mins+ slower than Bill S and I remember my total time was just under 1hr 9mins so this seemed correct (Bill S was just over the hour) but my log shows 1hr 13mins (excl warm up and cool down). Anyone else had this issue?

Apologies for missing tonight - I had a late work event to attend. Gutted as I really enjoy the live races
I'll do it tomorrow
I've caught up with messages from the weekend (had parents staying) and a couple of things stand out, firstly I'm glad you are all staying with Bkool just as I have been getting into it, I thought you were all leaving at one point!
Secondly I can whole heartedly recommend a bike fit if you can afford one. I treated myself last year and it made a big difference to comfort on the bike.
