Bkool running so slow for me that I can't use it.
Tried another laptop but this wanted an update that gives an error and now I'm unable to use it.

Giving up for now!!

I had this problem after the last update.

Uninstall BSim
Clean the Registry with something like AVG Tune Up (You can ger a free 30 day trial)
Restart and install BSIM from the BKool Home Page.

What Anti Virus are you using?

Late on parade but there now - let's see how it goes @Whorty

Sorry GW, I ended up helping @rob01792 for 2/3 of race. Went over the last hill and 1/2 way down the other side with him. Pushed on after that and caught up with a rider call Cheetah (Team Cyclechat) anyone know who he/she is? Really pushed me over the last 7 or so km

That was a very enjoyable ride, thanks @rob01792

I was wondering the same dont think ive come across cheetah before

Tough ride that cheers again

I went outside in the wind and rain tonight - got soaked! Worth it though as I've been waiting over three weeks to get out on the new bike! (Loved it!)

Well it's good to see that no one with a Turbo that works remotely like the real world managed to beat Chris Froome's time in SC10
I missed the live race as I was still at work at 19:30 local
Nice to see the top slot is touting a 22 W/kg Power to Weight.
Couple of dodgy non-Pro stats in the mix at the top.
Brusgaard did well today to come in at 1:02 but his speed stats do look a bit on/offy so perhaps he was doing an experiment today.
Even Pep looks like he was having a quiet day all be it it looks a bit like he was in ERG mode but from my experience that does you no favours overall.

If I'm feeling up to it tomorrow I may try and bash out a time under the hour.

Bridgy, if you were there at 19:00 apologies for not being on board to try and give you a bunk up the order.

Missed that post, you weren't there at 19:00 then.
Out on the new bike per chance after pulling a sicky to put it together

I may be having a go Saturday morning. It will probably take me as long to do this as the field takes to do the whole stage

I did wonder if someone was mocking me, but spelled 'cheater' wrong LOL

Literally 1.3 km up in 13, 10% average then
That's a Sunday Club Run (not)

Aru puts in a huge effort today and leaps 8 seconds over one of Froome's domestiques

Got to give it to him for trying.

Good to see his Kazak teammates being ordered back to help him

“That was pretty good from me, all things considered. Numbers-wise, it’s the best club ten I’ve done. 438 watts – that’s pretty bloody good from me,” Dowsett said today after the ToB ITT.
He should get a BKool Pro, blimming lightweight wannabe time trialist!

I wish I'd of caught more of the Vuelta. The stages I have watched have been completely brutal. It's been good that contador has gone out in a bit of style too.
