I'm probably going to have some extra time soon to complete this month's league rides. I've just not felt up to it so have done a few random ones. Will probably have a crack at stage 1 in the next few days.

Your time in the Belgium classics was decent. I've not put 100 percent effort in them and just used for good work out with friendly competition

Tonight I was suffering, but did reasonably against th3 other folk. I did notice though that my power was going down after I got about a third through. A gradient of 2% seemed like 6 and 9% felt like 15.
Oh it looks like I missed stage 2 of the classics. Anyone know how to do or even find and schedule stage 2?

Amazing though how many riders are now using the sim. Makes for interesting riding. I did a quick velodrome ride the other night. It was quite good though riding in a large group doing 40kmh with minimal effort.

Yes, I think I'm missing it too. It added another dimension. The experiment to do without it has been useful in showing we need it!

During, better 8.5%beer than 8.5%climbs on the tandem!
I was late to the party and missed the drafting. Took ages to get the HRM to be recognised by Bkool in fact it couldn't do it before the ride started, seems to take longer each ride! Since working from home I've been riding every night now for 13 days, I'm not used to that intensity and after very sore legs last week they finally seem to be getting stronger - but not by much - FTP up 1 watt! it's really not important in the big scheme of things but some rare good news.
Definitely up for the re-run ... and maybe another watt.
Stay safe all.

Thanks, pretty much full gas and my extra timber helps on the downhills but still well over a minute behind you guys.
Best way is usually to challenge someone from the results where there's an icon to click on for that. Best to pick your closest rival so you get a good race.

I've never tried discord but heres an invite to KeithsKoolers if anyone fancies trying it. I think the invite only latest 24hours.

Having got my usual crap start I tried to be arabbit for you, but then when you came past I realised that there's no way a rabbit can keep up with a hare!

I'll be there tonight but any chance somebosy elñse can start it? My recent experiences, I think I've had one good start in the last 10, either the prestart hasn't worked for others, the start itself hasn't gone smoothly or I've false started, and I'm getting nervous! Help from you guys would be appreciated before I have to seek professional help, and I don't mean from Team Ineos!

Btw, my wife had her first go yesterday on bkool and loved it. Tourmalet downhill in 20 minutes. If anybody not riding tonight wants to lend her their sign on then she would join the race tonight, both of us in the garage at the same time on the two old pros I have here. However she says she'll only do it if I promise to let her draft me the whole way down, how quick she is learning!
