When they get the drafting sorted out you'll be able to stay with me no problem. It takes a huge effort for me to drop you and with the old drafting you would be able to hang on long enough for me to have to give up trying.

How about the "long sections" at 14 and 15+ percent??
Will be fun to try it on the Pro Saturday.Got an Alpe du Zwift race Sunday morning at 10 I need to do too. Oh what a fun weekend.
Mind when I started my computer and tried to join the ride bkool needed a software update.
This is at 6.05 so I clicked update and my virus protection program blocked it. After a bit of fiddling I thought better switch off antivirus. By then and after it had finished downloading and updating it was 6.10 and I had just missed the start.
Went too hard at the beginning trying to make up time so suffered all the way.

Yeah I was thinking when I saw you catching up thought I would try and draft a bit to hang on but I was so far in the red I had no chance. Then it was just a case of trying to hang on.
I saw Per and Brusguaard catching up so had to keep digging deep. I thought Per was going to catch me on the final climb.
And that 13% didn't like that
Kudos to you for a great ride. I enjoyed that in a kind of strange painful way.

First thanks for all the well wishes but it's a little embarrassing because it's just getting the ravages of old age fixed. Like putting some rattle can spray paint over the rust on an old car.
More importantly I missed today's race but will try Saturday. @keithaitch I like the invite letter and should I post it to some old Bkool riders on Strava?
There is one near you ( Benicàssim, Comunitat Valenciana, Spain ) who is a fast climber so you may not want him back.

Wanted to try to catch you, but that 13% plus section never ended and I struggled just to get up the hill. Never felt I was close enough to you. Well done!
@Brusgaard - it felt maybe drafting might be possible in this new update or was it just wishful thinking? It wasn’t the usual flybys this time.
Yeah I kept on seeing you and Brusgaard catching me . It looked like you were working together and I thought my time was up. You both made me dig in and put me under pressure. It was a really good stage though. Well doneto you
will do! should be a lil easier than a few days back, turns out that a sinus infection isnt very compatible with cycling lol

Not sure when this month's league will end, just got an email saying in two days. Stage is scheduled to end on 1/12 (Saturday) and the league on 2/12 (Sunday). I can't amend these dates. I hope it means that the stage is available for Saturday's rerun. The next league is due to start on 4/12 (Tuesday) to give me Monday to make changes to the teams. I'm still learning about exactly how bkool handles dates and if the end date is at 00:00:01 or 23:59:59 on that date. Sorry if things aren't yet exactly as they should be....there's a lot to learn....and no manual!

Yes, I wish we had the old drafting when it was easy to sit on somebody's wheel. It meant you would sit up if you had a couple of seconds lead to actually work with somebody until the end when they would then out sprint you, @BILL S I'm looking at you! It also meant that one person couldn't stay away from two of a similar level working together,just like the real world. I know that bkool know that this is an issue. At least we've got the better graphic back though that could be better if the rider that was you was a different colour, I never know which one is me!
