Ahh feck . I've found some inventive ways of putting my back out but this morning was something entirely new. I was sitting on a chair not twisting or turning waiting for a piece of test equipment to finish turning on when I yawned . Just a simple yawn, not a full body arm stretching yawn, just head slightly back mouth open yawn.

My back then decides nope. You shouldn't be doing that and locks up. Can't lean forward to stand or back to relax. I'm stuck there waiting for my back to release enough to allow me to move, it takes about 10 minutes.

I've just got home from the osteopath feeling battered and bruised but flexible and back pain free. I may have to skip the sessions tonight though .

Need a not like button.

That’s pretty bad luck TB. one of the guys I work with sneezed and put his back out a few months ago. But yawning definitely tops that... have you ever tried using one of those tennis balls sized, massage balls? They’re excellent.

Was there something in particular about this company that caught your eye mate? Is this the one that Zsun use? Or you like the look of them?

I have a nice enough top from them. Other than that they had lots of designs on link and just thought you might want to start the process of choosing all over again

If you want a guinea pig for testing the race feature let me know

I thought we'd do it with humans! though Guinea versus @Daddy Pig might be something worth watching.

I'm continuing to look into rouvy.........

I've sent them a support request asking if they intend to support Mac OS

great, this is why we need lots of people testing to cover all the angles.

I’m going to have a look too. BRVR is too much mountain based cycling. Rouvy looks to have plenty varied routes.

Yes, a lot of very unhappy Spanish bkoolers.

Good. We might get it fixed then. If it was UK unique we could swing!

I fear we are witnessing the death throes of UnKool..

Can anyone get on their Facebook site or is it just me they’ve kicked out?

I had problems pairing this morning too, i unplugged and replugged the trainer, a couple of times but it found it.

I thought I smelt a rat!

To be fair they look nice. I’m not sure how the Italians would feel about our design though...

One to think about NEXT TIME

@AAAC 76C i've just checked and got in ok and started a ride. As it was cinctorres i stopped after 22m!

I really don't understand the allegiance to Bkool. It really is a poor platform with its bugs and with what seems regular SIM crashes for days. Why don't those who haven't tried another platform, sign upto one for a month, give it good go to gather experience and then have a direct comparison with Bkool There are plenty of excellent training platforms to have a go at
