Bridgy, You realise you were a bit quick to respond there?

It was the first time HID's used Bridgy's bike and he forgot to change the weight setting back....

You had me worried there for a moment - I had to check!!

I had a go at the 2. Chaingang stage and tried to stay with the powerhouses in front. I was waiting for DP, AAAC % Bridgy to drop the watts down to a level fit for normal people but it just didn't seem to happen, or I was not able to stick with them for long enough. I had to let go after about 10 minutes .

I want to do the winter cup too, but don't know how I'm going to fit in any more flat out rides. I'm wondering if an hour or so before the Saturday re-run would be a good time as per @bridgy this Tuesday, or would it just kill me for re-run? Paul, I think you said it didn't reduce your performance too much because it was just a short one.

Bill, I think I'll latch on to your plan. Should we add Skovsgaard's ghost? We shouldn't have too much trouble with his 513 watt avg .

The arrival of Daddy Pig has rejuvenated Bridgy, AAA C to up their performance to even higher levels. On certain courses they run at high 400 Watts all the time. Bill has upped his game just recently and has been taking the fight to DP

It's all great fun to lift a lot of riders performances, even mine!

Have you tried an Android device with Ant+ built in and their app from play store,. Then you will know if it's the trainer or your Ant+ dongle

Are you using ant+ connection? Go into settings and you can check whether they are showing or not and the quality of signal. You should see the ant + or bluetooth symbol in white if there is a connection. Does the bsim detect the trainer?

 

[bugno]

The Ant+ dongle works. Just used it with my garmin watch. I am 99% sure it is the bsim sw. ever since they came with the new simulator it has been a struggle

Is the green light on at the back of the trainer. I know is sounds odd but my electrical connection is quite tempermental!

 

[bugno]

Appreciate the attempts to help but yes, green light on, ant+ works, pc rebooted to make sure. Etc etc.

Only think I can think of is if there has been a new firmware release for the actual trainer (as I am on the latest bsim release 3.12) ... anyone know ?

 

[bugno]

and just now it came on. I did not change a thing. 45min. In my next life I will be a highly paid sw consultant for bkool
