Sadly it wasn't,
I was texting a reply and missed the downshift from -4 to +7 grade then in a panic shifted the front chain ring to 34 but cross chained, then in an attempt to ride it back on jammed it behind the inside chain keeper. It took removing the chain to get it off.

Sounds like a normal ride to me, doesn't that happen to everybody all the time¿ it does me!

Just in case we thought the world couldn't get any stranger after Wednesday's running of Thursday's stage as it's Sunday it's obviously time for Saturday's rerun. Thankfully same time as normal 18:00 cet, 17:00 UK. @Brusgaard are you able to start it ?

To help you recover from the excesses of the holiday period....so far! January's league has been published. I haven't had time to check out the routes on the trainer but they look fine, all have 3D and video and only one stage should elicit complaints from @berty bassett and me and only one from the rest of you! 5 weeks so plenty of time to work off all that beer and extra roast potatoes! Unfortunately the first stage won't appear on your simulators until Wednesday 29/12 as bkool thinks that a league ending on 27/12 (the current one) and one starting on 28/12 (proposed start date for January's league) creates an overlap! Don't even try to rationalise it just accept bkool live in a world of their own.

I'll try! Lots of riders got "Operation could not be completed" when trying to join today's Danish league ride.

Been messing around with my PC today, it was super slow on RGT so I've upgraded the PSU so that it can run a graphics card. It's gone from Intel HD4000 to Nvidia 1060, hopefully better graphics in Bkool which I'll set to Max later. When the race starts it's going to be one of those binary moments 🎉 or 💩.

Last excuse of the year for me today.

The graphics are decent on the best setting.

I spent yesterday afternoon replacing my bottom bracket. The new one is a threaded press fit that is supposed to stop any creaking. It added a few mm of width so had to adjust the front derailiur.
Anyway long post just to get score a pre race non birthday, non graphics card excuse.

Happy Birthday @shimceltic.

Happy Birthday @shimceltic , good for you!
For the rest of us I've just found out we can still milk Celebrating Christmas till the "Twelfth Night, often celebrated on the night of Jan. 5, is considered the end of the Christmas season"

So I will say good luck all tonight just incase

I was going to leave the GPU testing till the race but thought "What would @Brusgaard do?". So whilst setting up I noticed my BT connection didn't work anymore, I move the dongle to a new USB port and synced the Atom, lo and behold Bkool now shows which gear you're in!!

Here's a little capture from that ride

Good news the graphics card works in 'Ultra' mode, looking forwards to the ride.

Look OK, I’m also using an old GTX1060 in my computer.

Everyone riding on the right side of the road was reported by a number of riders today in the Danish league, Strange bug, but we are getting used to them...
