Looks like only the live sessions counts in the general classification, so you haven't got a chance anyway.

I haven't done a live session but maybe they are only accepting first attempt per stage?
Edit: saying that looking at the results overall has me 36 seconds jn front of aaac which is the difference from my fastest stage 1 time. It's likely that it's just taking a long time for bkool to update standings overall.

General classification seems very slow to update, but it has both my rides listed, descending from 9th place currently
@BILL S Some of the ghosts weren't from this current league, so could of been recorded on older software where slingshots were still functioning. I did begin to enjoy the latter section, because I was gaining on the ghosts and began to pick them off, just ran out of road, got 3 in the last third of a mile.
Sorry, I missed the fact that there was a second live race which bombed our results way out of sight. Very confusing with an update that takes longer than the time between to stages.General classification seems very slow to update, but it has both my rides listed, descending from 9th place currently

Whorty, Bob, thanks for the company. Great way to start the day! 
Sorry I had to kick on a bit but I was getting a bit of a nagging. Maybe around halfway is a good time to make a form assessment anyway?
Also sorry for the lack of sunrise as promised... Oxfordshire let us down!

Yes, misty just like London today, though the sun is now poking through here.
It's a tiring but strangely rewarding way to start the day.
Whorty! Great ride! You made me push on at the end causing me all sorts of pain and grimacing

General classification is updated after stages so it's not live stats, then there is an issue if it's take longer than that. Sounds weird if only live sessions will count. I have ride only 1-ride/stage and all is worked well for me so far. Maybe Team Cyclechat is too good and Bkool want to tease you a bit

No worries Tommy - I expected you both to kick on after the first 10km so was pleasantly surprised you stayed with me so long. Certainly encouraged me to finish the ride. Legs are dead nowWhorty, Bob, thanks for the company. Great way to start the day!

.. off to take the wife out for a drive in a bit; get a bit of fresh air and a bit more exercise (wife's in a wheelchair so I'll be pushing ... best find somewhere to walk that's flat then 
)I thought you was waiting for me and being a carrot, trying to get me under 2 hoursYes, misty just like London today, though the sun is now poking through here.

It was also very noticeable the way the different trainers reacted to different gradients.
I'm really glad you stuck with it mate! I think longer rides are much more about conditioning rather than cardio so the more you do the easier they become (promise
). I know it sounds obvious but it's just about putting the miles in really. And working out the recovery that suits you.
Going for a walk could be ideal recovery. I seize up if I don't keep moving.

I know I will probably never manage it, but has anyone attempted to Everest on bkool? @Breedon did 1/3rd of it yesterday
would you be tempted to do the other 2/3rds ?
