Team BKool CycleChat

[AAAC 76C]

I’m sorry to say, but it would have been better for the team, if you had not waited for me. With @shimceltic slacking at the back (), we need you to do your best time and not wait for us mere mortals.

And I must admit that I just tugged in behind you whenever possible, only going past you on the descents where I had the weight “advantage”.

Looking at the data for the ride, it is very similar to Thursday‘s ride, 291w avg. vs. 289, 151BPM vs. 149 and 36.2kph avg. vs. 36.1. And I gained a full 4 seconds!!!

I did not have too much in me to go alone anyway so I was only too happy to wait.

I need to gain 90w and lose 10kg. Any tips

Stay of the pizzas

I took it a bit easier tonight after Thursdays exertions, avg. HR 14BPM less during the race but only cost me 6watts av.g and 20seconds in time.... I should learn a lesson from that but probably wont.
Most of the race I was swamped by bots, think I managed a decent bit of drafting from one of them. cheers Benny!
Thanks for the 'go Andy' on the road Keith/Randy?

It's national pizza day

Hey Keith. What about suggesting to Bkool they offer a "come back and try it again " free 1 month premium to the people who have left the platform? With the more equal turbo adjustment and the improved drafting it should be tempting to the Splitters group.

Looks good. I wonder if my computer would run it? Anyone signing up for a Beta test. Looks like you sign up and if they like your answers they may pick you.
Just logged on to ask if anyone knows how to change avatar kit etc? I've got about 8500 points but when I go on the store there isn't any options to change anything . How have you guys managed to get nice kit?

Just filled in their 100 questions. We'll see what happens next. I don't mind doing some testing.

 

[Mark68]

Just signed up as well so we'll see

Just had a quick look, for fun, the watts were all over the place.

 

[JJRobinson]

Hi all, hope you are all well!
I know most feel the app & firmware change in watts on Bkool was probably accurate, but for anyone who thinks their trainer was more affected by the updates than others, have a look at my ride comparison - Same route, same app (Rouvy), same avg HR, same avg cadence. First is on Bkool Pro, second is on Saris H3.
Will have to give it a go on Bkool software now!

 

[shimceltic]

Do you think the Bkool is under your watts it more realistic now
