Team BKool CycleChat

[Brusgaard]

Brusgaard, how was your ride and how many participate? I joined a live ride with around 20 in and was a few mins down on all others, managed to chase down around 5 people over the course and no people who joined after me came past me so I was quite happy

On Tuesdays I do the CycleChat Zwift meet-up, and actually only do the odd Wednesday or Sunday Danish league race. Thursday it is CycleChat BKOOL race day. My Zwift ride was abysmal, and today will definately be a rest day! (9 race days in the last 10 ).

240 riders took part across the 3 groups and 214 completed without being N/Q. Normally they only ride in 2 groups, but something went wrong and one of the racemasters started a new session. I think it was a false start, or the racemaster dropped out before finishing warmup.

Taking a night off the sim as I have 8s to gain on Rod tomorrow

I'm pretty sure that the missing cyclists is a bug introduced in V5.05. The wavy lines have always been there together with cyclists. The more green the lines were, the more "in the draft" you were.

Right you are Sir.
Before the rider would appear on the left, or right as he approached you or vice versa and the wavy lines appeared as the drsft started. (Good old days!)

Thursday morning, see you all later, but just a heads up next Thursday I can't ride so somebody else @shimceltic? will need to start it next week. Now there are 23!!!of us let's see if we can get double digit participation tonight and I look forward to more scenes of carnage.

I might be able to start if necessary next week

Would it be possible for you to change the group's image?

Thursday 7pm isn't correct anymore (at least not in the UK). Maybe just remove that image text all together, and write the current race times (Thursday 6pm UK and Saturday 5pm UK) in the text block instead, preferably in capital letters.

That would make it easier for participants NOT reading on the CC forums to maybe search and find the live races anyway.

Good Point, but it'd need someone who knows what they're doing, which rules me out.

I think by that criteria in ruled out too but I'll give it a go, what could possibly go wrong?

@Brusgaard is the IT specialist!

Better?

Oh, I just realized the logo needs changing too, I'll try asap.

Doh, I see the race times are already in the text block.

This image could replace the other, and it is in line with the new Bkool colours.

Done!

 

[BILL S]

Well done all. That was a tough ride for a down hiller. I had no chance to catch you Keith and I knew it so tried to make the break with Brusgaard at the start. It was of course futile.

 

[shimceltic]

I was hanging on to mark till the last few km and just couldn't sustain the speed.
