Team BKool CycleChat

I reckon the best way to stay in touch with league members is to have the option of messaging in the Group admin page. That way, you could message out ride times/days etc from the group and all league participants receive the message on their respective page. Additionally, the same facility can be used to to point them in the direction of CC to take the p1ss out of the autobus

Great idea, I'll forward it to my bkool contact

Thursday morning's usual announcement that I'll be starting it tonight hopefully without last week's catalogue of disasters.

You better test everything 4 hours in advance

BTW for what it's worth I think that we may have weathered the storm of losing members to the dark side and we are now starting to attract new members which can only be good for the health of the league. I have to say that I was worried that after the summer we might find it had died a natural death, that thankfully doesn't seem to be the case and I am happy to continue to do the admin work until beyond the foreseeable future!
We used to only accept memebers who had contacted here first to try to ensure a social side to the league. To try to increase participants i took the executive decision to accept all requests to join the league to try to increase numbers and then, with bkools help, contact new people to make them aware of this chat and their need to become active here so the league maintains its social side too. Hope this is Ok with everybody.

with the nights drawing in i think the numbers will go up both in bkool and the other place , and where ever you choose to sweat it out i hope we all have a good winter season 👍 good luck to each and everyone of us
love tiny tim x

Great ride guys, thankyou 👍. I managed not to dork your session up this time.
MicroKid you nearly killed me again, I would never push that hard training on my own!

@Brusgaard have any of your friends reported a lag with the pro trainer since the new firmware/software update please? I’m experiencing around a 4 second lag response in the trainer.. very frustrating..

I've got a pro and don't seem to be able to start anywhere near as fast as before and I'm getting dropped at the start every time. There's a lag after I start pedaling until I start to move on the screen. I used to be one of the fastest starters and I'm putting out the same effort as before, with the same technique.

One and all

Although that shouldn't really be a problem for you seeing as you are now the new AAAC

The on screen speed changes quickly in line with profile changes however as an example, I can crest a climb, the on screen speed quickly recognises the descent however, the trainer continues to grind away for around 4 seconds.. grr..

I started it dead on 18:00 UK time, and then the usual 10 minute warm up.

Ahh, I was 10 mins too early! Next week...
I, like you, find the start very slow. Indeed, it all seems a lot harder than before, I think I prefer it as it was!!

I felt strong tonight, lots of rides against people I don't know at 85% but once it's you or @Brusgaard then I'm prepared to go deep and suffer. I thought I'd see if either you or Brus got a gap early on and then I would have waited up but by the time you dropped him I had to just put my head down and go for it. Can't wait for next week, I never realised how much more fun it is racing people you know.
