Provisional handicaps for next time we run this session

 

[Whorty]

well done on the kickr! Where do you suffer more compared to the bkool pro...on the hills only or is it equally more difficult to keep the pace up on the flats?

I lose time on transition between gradients, say a descent to an incline, even small changes can have a big impact. The pro gives you speed into the incline, whereas with the KICKR speed is linked to power so as soon as power drops, speed follows. I probably need to work harder on gear selection and holding power through the transitions.

 

[Whorty]

Thought you were riding the Pro otherwise I would have joined.

Last minute change of plan as I managed to sort the belt out. Next week

Thanks, as always, for doing this Geoff

 

[AAAC 76C]

For the last year I've been using an Apple mini and haven't had any of the problems others seem to have. The only problem is I can't try Rouvy. I know it sounds like first world problems. Like @LBHIFI having to unpair from his car. Life's a bit@h.

How often have I been stood outside my car waiting for my wife and the phone rings but inside the car although it's in my pocket!

 

[AAAC 76C]

Here are the elapsed times

Congratulations to @AAAC 76C for improving an already fantastic time, and to @bridgy for repeating his to the second!

Congratulations on big improvements for @Add and @bert1971, along with increased handicaps!

I am so surprised that it was only a few seconds.
I thought I'd really messed with my handicap.
We must try harder next time @bridgy .

 

[AAAC 76C]

Ok, sorry for the delay but here are the corrected results (Actual Moving Time + Allocated Start Time)

As everyone started pretty close to their allocated Start Times it is the same as the finish on the road, but @bert1971 and @AAAC 76C would have been side by side crossing the line, not that Bert would have noticed!

Top 7 all within one minute!

Really impressed with your uncoached progress Merecat.

 

[Whorty]

Really impressed with your uncoached progress Merecat.

A visit to the local bike shop, followed by the local hardware store (a real proper hardware store of the old style, on the high street, not a Homebase!) got me back on track.

All I can say is, @CXRAndy , if you ever need to change your belt on the Kickr talk to me first, I may be able to save you some time and swearing

I'm surprised too - I felt like I was really struggling last night so assumed it would be either much faster or much slower!

My slower time last night means that I'll have fwends to ride with next week.

I'll wait for you and @peterob @Daddy Pig to come storming through then perhaps the four of us can catch @JJRobinson and then all work together to hold off the diesel behind us!

I will be 30 seconds worse off too so think that will be very likely
