@BILL S good fun trying to get drafting to work, for some reason Bkool just flashed and logged back in again about 3/4 of the way through, by the time I rejoined I was so far behind I couldn't get back to your wheel.
Without the 3D view I found it harder to judge distance, we have to rely on that ranking table which keeps cycling between distance and time, the distance view seems to be best to work out closing speeds etc.
Thanks for setting it all up. :smile:

Yes I also found it harder to draft without the 3d view. When the drafting box kept disappearing I didn't know if we were still drafting or not. The start went smoothly and I didn't need to start manually.

Ho detto GAZ COMPLETO, no ??? :ridere:

Sono sicuro che ti adatteresti perfettamente con [USER = 40294] @Randyberlin [/ USER], [USER = 45729] @Goldwolfie [/ USER] e forse [USER = 48097] @Bored Man [/ USER] su alcuni livelli . C'è un sacco di spazio sul retro per un altro. ^ _ ^ Correre ti rende solo più forte e prima che tu lo sappia sarai attivo 1!

YES YES, GAZ exaggerated!

I already feel I have affinities with the people you mentioned ...

Thanks for a really good race Andy. If you hadn't had that problem I think you'd have beaten me as I sensed you were the stronger. Great drafting and I think you helped me beat my Thursday time by a minute or two.
Bill did you approve tonight's rides as in not seeing them as classification attempts.

Ci vediamo lì!

Puoi vedere alcune / la maggior parte delle nostre precedenti gare sul mio canale Youtube e forse avere un'idea di chi seguire / battere ... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMIuSlmmx2SyDgAng35bJ_w

@inesfra - your more than welcome to keep me company at the back of the races.

The speed guys are usually showered and into their second beer before I crawl over the finishing line.

LIVING THE DREAM
I'm really interested, was it successful? And welcome to the the 60's, they've been good to me so far, we are the same age until Tuesday!
They did the update via my PC which I was not really ready for.
It failed to update twice so then I had yo move the Ant dongle which was a pain as the USB extension is ty wrapped yo my frame.
That failed as so then I had to plug the dongle direct into the PC and move either the turbo or the PC so they were next to each other.
As my PC is mounted behind my TV on a shelf and stand so all the cables are routed through a hole I had to move the trainer to the PC which is 4 foot off of the ground.
So I then had to un ty wrap the power cable and unbolt the trainer from its frame then hold the trainer close to the PC whilst leaning over my bike with one hand and held my phone in the other.
It took what seemed an age to update by which time my arm was falling off through holding the trainer.
The moral is if you want to fo the same make sure you can get your PC/Lap Top close to your trainer or vice versa.

PS: I have not tried it out yet.

That looks great! With a special coffee of course. I don't have the facebook. (When you're old you say THE fscebook) but I've heard that it makes you think everyone else is having a better time than you. Between your impressive riding gains and the pizza oven I'm really feeling jealous.

Wow. Crazy that the usb extension would make that much difference. . That was a sacrifice for the good of the league. Rest those 60 year old arms.

All the traditional pizza's went down well but I decided to do some tinned hot dog, sliced with crispy fried onions and mustard. It was really good!

Thanks @Goldwolfie!
I can't wait to ride in your group. It doesn't matter, we will drink our beers anyway, even if a little warmer ...🍺
I sent you a friend request on Bkool (or at least I think I did ...), I would be honored if you wanted to accept it.
See you soon, guys!
PS Am I the only Italian in your group?
