Sometimes my HR-belt or the receiver fails and show too low numbers, like yesterday.
It usually happens when I ride two sessions right after eachother, like I did yesterday. Strange....

Blooming elitist bkool pro owners and their crazy Pro watts!
There are some 5w plus training rides but I don't go near them for obvious reasons.
AAAC, I would love to see you race in Zwift with a PM and pro. You are clearly the strongest ride here and would have a different kind of fun on Zwift.i know it won't happen.
Had a crazy fella yesterday flying up the mountain at 6-6.5W/Kg. He would sustain it for 5 mins or so, disappear from the timing screen, then I would pass him a few minutes later on the side of the road. Again he would pass me at 6+W then stop, this happened all the way up the Pretzel. I eventually passed him for the last time in one of the dips on the descent. I can only assume he was enjoying the views from the mountain

Maybe he was using his Mario speed boost like on Mario carts then hit a few bananas...Had a crazy fella yesterday flying up the mountain at 6-6.5W/Kg.

I've been doing some digging on my bkool sessions.
I did a full BRVR session on Wind River Pass
Total........Main........Total Time....Main Time....Power Avg....Avg Cad....Notes
26.9km....26.9km....1hr 46...........1hr 46...........167................77..............There was no warm up/cool down on this session. The warm up/cool down were ......................................................................................................................seperate bkool sessions
I imported that session to bkool and used it on bsim. The result
27.7km....26.8km....1hr 31..........1hr 28.............171...............77...............The total distance includes 0.7km warm up and 0.2km cool down.
Not up to the usual cyclechat standard power or what not. The only difference I could see was the speed registered. Bkool was always higher going uphill for close to the same power.
The only upside I can see to this disparity is that it is, currently, consistant. Maybe not in its values but in its presence. I do not suffer from the dead stops of the pro, probably because I rarely go fast enough. I can measure myself against past efforts and feel that there is a good comparison.
Edit to add/clarify.
This was done on an original classic trainer without fe-c, but the latest available firmware.

But I'm on an original classic, forgot to add that. I do not have the fe-c standard to enable, can't be done apparently.Boxer's conclusive proof Bkool has been fudging speed

Classics and the first Pros (FW 3.02) are not affected by dead-stops, period.
I will be but not sure what time. Hopefully at 7pm if that's when the main ride is.
I'm hoping to do the 7pm one
