Version 1 should be worthwhile given its latest update firmware using the same power reading method now as version 2.

Ooh, I’ll have to update mine ready for the winter! It’s sat in the garage unused for the last year, but I may give it a tentative go over winter, now I can manage to average 180 real watts up the merry harriers, without busting my heart rate limit!

Is there enough demand to restart the handicap races in a month, when the clocks go back, or is everyone planning on the winter cup and chain gang?

I have a further free months trial to Trainer-Road, if anyone is interested in beating themselves up in a structured way

Beating myself up enough as it is Andy on the ZA workouts. Thighs really hurting after the up and overs this morning

i like the handicap races, it's the only time i can get anywhere near the 'elites' among us, just let me know where donations should be sent to get a good handicap

It was me (knowing my luck or lack of). I've just found the generate 3D button in some of the BRVR sessions I've uploaded to Bkool. So I went mad and went through all the sessions I've uploaded to get them turned into 3D, where I could. If the system now seems slow it's probably down to me .

@BILL S what is the 5 o'clock course?

Edit with pre race excuse. Still have the 28 tires on.

I'll likely give teh WC a miss. Last WC was a shambles, and we all know the shambles of the latest SC. I'll do the CG and handicap races if back from work early enough until my BKool subscription runs out and longer rides I'll do on Zwift.

Everything that could go wrong this morning did. Started with a flat after I pumped up the tire too high. No problem plenty of time and i can put the training tire on- then when pumping up replacement brand new tube it leaks- then swapped out bike on trainer but forgot had removed pedals so at 8:11 got everything and started behind everyone and something seriously wrong- second bike had a low tire..

I had a flat too. Unfortunately it was the laptop battery, that'll learn me not to plug it in. Fully charged before hand as well, lasted all of 20 minutes.
Making progress though, at least I managed to join a live league session this time.

Btw, bsim will chew through the battery so the only way to play is by ensuring it is plugged in at all bsim times!

I wondered where you were Randy and funnily enough I only knew you were there when it told me you had left the session. @Crook Town AFC then left the session so I then left it too leaving only non CGers out there. I was only there to burn a few calories so couldn't be bothered staying once you two had gone.
