I've also asked to join Top 100 and Mountain Goats.

Sorry for the separate message, but at least it helps to get rid of another of my first 5 moderated posts!

My BKool name is DAVEW1. It comes up as all capitals on my BKool account but might just as easily be DaveW1 or a variation on that theme.

Don't know if many of you are turboing tonight but my windows update has scuppered my chances of joining you.
See you on Thursday probably.

I didn't make it either Bill - I was tempted by a mild windless evening to go out in the real world!

Geoff, I am using 40-11, my tourer bike has a MTB setup. I was upto 110rpm early on, it pushed me a little too close to the redline in heart rate and had to ease off ever so slightly, result dropped. It wasn't sufficient to match the lightweight riders running 50 or 52 crankset. I think speed was around 29-30 mph at that point. That's about maximum I could achieve with that gearing. I pulled them back a little later, but Tommy and Paul(bridgy) were well gone(1 minute faster), pretty much flat out for 11 minutes downhill, well slope.

Wow, not surprising you were struggling with a maximum 40T on the front, you must have been spinning like a humming bird!

Can I get Garmin virb for free to see if I can overlay my video?

I think so, just download it from Garmin web site.

Does the video need gps because my gopro is the small one without GPS logging

It might do, to sync properly, but I think you can adjust it by eye, so it might be OK without.

Don't have my race legs yet after the weekend so went for a pootle around Zwift-land for a change of scene. Saw @Breedon on there but lost him in the crowds!

That sucks. Happened to me too.
That's why I got the Win 10 Pro. More control of Windows Update.

to the madness ! For best race results ensure you have :

1. Water
2. A fan
3. Tyres suitably pumped
4. A list of excuses why you didn't win
5. A bucket to vom into after you have finished

I'm off the trainer until Friday. I have loaned it to some guys to do a VR challenge like I was involved in in March. Still I'm upto date with the leagues.

Got 1 to 3.

Will start working on 4 and 5!

Anyone interested in a set of used Powertap G3 AMP 35 carbon wheels with power meter? Not used them too much as I bought them just before having a stroke, and then didn't ride for a year.

Will chuck in some Reynolds brake pads, including the set that came with the wheels and the ludicrously expensive blue power set I bought.

Nice way to get a great power meter with some carbon clinchers chucked in!

I'm looking at a new bike, with wheels included.
