I could not upload it. It failed multiple times until Bkool simulator said I tried too many times. I would like to see the times too because bobinsky and I arrived under the same second I think.

@Gregory_ca I worked out your time (41:46) from the recordings, when you crossed the line and how far before Bridgy you had started.

If you fire up the simulator again, it will often try and upload any timed out sessions it failed to upload previously.

There was a point where I slowed to wait for you to try and draft to keep bridgy at bay but he got so close to you and you looked to be having such fun I left you to it!^_^
Yup I remember thinking you were doing that, then you just sprinted off leaving me wondering what was going on, so I decided to wait for Bridgy to come past so I'd tag along and try to catch you that way. Still didn't work, so you can consider that you did a good evenings work in frustrating at least one fellow cyclechatter. :angry:

My watts seem down for the effort I put in. The only thing different was I used a bungie cord to hold the back wheel against the roller.. I was suffering with a lot of wheel spin last time. It cured that but felt like treacle to cycle with. I'll do some short test runs to see if it saps power.

I was surprised that you let me hang on to you but I did really need to push myself to do it. When we did that sprint finish I had very little left in the tank but could manage it for 10 seconds or so. I think my 183 heart rate is a little beyond what I should be doing at my age.
I was waiting for you Bill to give you some drafting assistance as I had written off my own attempt due to how I was feeling. Thought I may as well help you get a good time at least! I'm actually quite pleasantly surprised at my time to be honest

I was going to tow you for a bit Soarer, but you kept racing me, and yo be honest I was struggling. And then you disappeared! For a moment I feared the crocodile had got you....

There are some huge performance gains. Ignoring the fact that you're obviously fitter. Has anyone changed there setup in anyway, interested? It comes on the back of Bridgy saying a certain tyre really worked well with the bkool pro

@BILL S was very close to catching you on the line, you held him off by a second, and @bridgy was only just behind him!

Could have been worse for me had @Add not given me a minute of drafting - thanks .... i needed that :okay:
I was cream crackered by the time I got to you Whorty, so was happy to tag along with you for a while there. We helped each other to be fair. Once I felt like my legs had a bit in them I tried to catch the next guy....but no chance!

You killed my time though Bill so you can imagine how frustrating that is for me-not that I am competitive or anything:rolleyes:
