I might just drop in at some random point. Much like I always did.

I don't know if anyone as yet using a Neo in Bkool. It really depends whether you want to act as a guinea pig or be in the mix with your co riders?

I used my neo in bkool, you dont get the flying starts though and it's much harder

That actually isn't a mad idea Tommy. It's a little faff swapping setups and the Kickr works fine on both platforms (ignoring performance difference). So a power meter league would be interesting. Maybe a few more could get pm trainers to join us??

Yeah same for me. I’ll use the BKOOL for the qualifiers but other than that I’m happy to stick with the atom. Watching you race on your kickr the other day showed me that it works well enough. Racing in BKOOL is such a good laugh I’m interested to see how it plays out long term. Will the new BKOOL trainer if it’s ever released make a difference etc.

Really?!?
I am on bkool at mo. Feels b v strange. Pretty hard to generate Watts on anything over 2%. Conversely, slope of 3% had me flying before quite a rapid deceleration.
I will try and join. 20-30w Slower than LB so perhaps a bit in front or I might just drop in at some random point. Much like I always did.

Try turning the power to the neo off and on maybe.

Is that the Steve who normally gives me a good race and he's starting at 0:00 ?

Questioning Geoff? I believe that’s a 30 second penalty for you!

not as far as i know Bill, it's the Steve who did ok when on the elite trainer, now on bkool pro having had minor op/hernia etc. etc, tbh i don't think it's enough

or just off

So, am I searching for Bill at 6-50? I know, I know, but you cannot expect me to read back through all this can you? And I am sure some of you would like to see me being the sacrificial NEO lamb

Done that

or just off

 

[gbrown]

been off ill past 2 weeks what a nice way to come back
I'm in what time should I start maybe same as jim ??
anyone using the neo or should I get the pro up and running

Not a problem to use either trainer, the Handicap should compensate for any difference so long as you do not switch from one to t'other!

Just start at the same time as the fastest person you would normally expect to keep up with, and we will adjust the Handicap for subsequent weeks.

Do we search gbrown??
Sorry it’s been a while

 

[gbrown]

How is @CXRAndy starting ahead of me?!? On his Pro Anyone taking bets tonight on the winner .... I'll have a tenner on Andy

Not sure why that is, but his handicap is based on his league time for Stage 1, so I guess no fairy dust that day?
