CG3 it is. Ghosts are added of those already done it.
See you all at 5pm. Expecting double figures at least.

What dead stop? Oh yeah the 1.1% into the 12% then -9%. No problem for the classic
If/when that feature becomes available to the public, rest assured I'll give it a whirl and report back. I never used it much with bkool or CVT, but its useful to have as an option.I do have an android tablet and have considered using that. Maybe one day

Yea, my keyboard is out of easy reach as well. I'm mostly racing these days, so I don't really need it. Not that I could do all that much with it while at race intensity. I don't do much with the in-game stuff like ride-ons and such.One issue I have with Zwift is you need to be able to hit your keys whilst cycling. My laptop is out of arms length so this stupid 'ride on' stuff just doesn't work for me. I'm there to cycle, not makes friends
Be interesting to see what extra routes they add. 1 route per day is pretty boring but if they added different routes and you could choose your route each day rather than BKool dictating it (I know there is a workaround but this should be out of the box). Talking to a chap at work who subscribes to BKool and he also rarely goes on he says for the same reason - bored of same courses.
Maybe one day we'll all be in Zwift land, but still not ready for me yet.
I have recently been setting the tablet nearby on a shelf while racing to help keep track of the huge group of riders in the race. (Just scrolling the live results to track the lead qualified group). I also had it for the group recovery ride last night-- it was kind-of nice to be able to chat a bit to pass the time on the recovery ride.
I'm trying to look at the limited course selection as a positive -- since I'm mostly racing and getting more competitive within the C group I'm finding courses that suit me well and those that don't. I'm getting a sense of where I tend to get dropped and where I can potentially drop others, where I can likely jump to a faster group after we get split without bringing the slow group up with me, where to start my sprints, etc.
Even so, more courses are good. I think they'd be well served to actually connect all three worlds (four by the spring) with a bit of road so that you could move between them. But they do continue to update Watopia a couple times a year and London received a minor update a little while ago as well.

No I was 6 seconds over. Didn't feel strong today so had to rely on you to pull me along. At least now the dead stops only seem to happen when hitting the really steep slopes so that's a plus.

Glad I took that with a pinch of salt.

I thought @Brusgaard was going to be tough to real in, he went off like a shot and then I noticed you had dropped back a bit.
I was feeling a bit rough but a good old blast helps sort things out.

thanks for the email @AAAC 76C and @BILL S 
I rode a 1km velodrome sprint.
, damn hard work putting full power down from the off for 4 laps. No ghosts, just me and my little legs 
Followed that with SC4 as I had dropped to page 2. Knocked 3 minutes off my previous time which also takes me 1 place up the GC rankings
Finally, did one of @theboxers downhill rides. 43km and took me 43 minutes to complete. Whilst the ride was 95% down (there were a couple of small ups) it was still very hard work. Lots of spinning and in a high gear. I added a few ghosts with varying times to see how I would measure up against others. I came 5th out of 15 riders. Winner beat me by 2 1/2 minutes, the last chap in lost by 13 minutes.
