I’ve done a couple of rides after renewing my subs this weekend and I’m impressed with the improvements

I just did a rough comparison with real world\Big Ring VR\Zwift\ and Bkool. Right now the Bkool Algorithm on my Pro for my 200 pounds is giving me about 20% lower watts and the resulting speed drop. I Hope this week's update adjusts it a little. I'm not complaining because it is the same for everyone.
These are not any kind of scientific comparison but
5 miles in Zwift watts 109 climbing 132 and 14.5 mph ave
5 miles in Bigring watts 118 climbing 134 and 14.2 mph ave
7 miles in New Bkool watts 92 climbing 100 and 11.1 mph ave
Real world 16 miles watts 112 climbing 182 and 14.1 mph ave
Note: The first 3 were done today and felt about the same effort. The real world ride was a few weeks ago on a different bike and watts are from Strava not power meter. I'm definitely not at a level of riding to justify a power meter.

Just seen your strava Randy, busy man yesterday
It just reminded me of a young apprentice who used to work for my joiner. My name came up in discussion and the Joiner said I was from Yorkshire.
The apprentice said "Oh, I thought he was from Leeds"😜
Suffice to say he didn't finish his apprenticeship

Our rides are live on Thursdays 6pm uk and Saturday 5pm, you can do them at anytime though to register a time. The Monday one is a bkool organised event with set times you'd have an email showing them

...and if you do the league rides, be sure to start them from the Leagues section, or they won’t count!

Mark someone will explain better how to join and then find our rides. Brusgaard, did you do 4pm? I was late from work so didn't have time for the 6pm

OK. Was alone out front until around 10.5 km where I was joined by a group, who seemed to have been riding together for some time. Got dropped on the final 1.3 km 6%+ avg. uphill section and lost way too much time...
You know where to find the video.
