I did the rgt race at 12:30. The software isn’t as pretty as zwift but I like the phone app a lot. And once you get going, and with a sufficient amount of sweat running into your eyes, it all looks the same anyway!

I understand you guys are involved quite an big league at the moment. Are you still doing a regular race once a week too?

Yes. Thursday's and Saturday on the new and improved Bkool. I won Saturday's race with Add as a close second.

was that the tour du monde race over the liege bastonne liege course? Yes we haver a team entered for that event, lying 2nd or 3rd after stage one. Stage 2 for us in a couple of hours. As @Randyberlin says, league rides in bkool thursday at 18:00 and saturday at 17:00 uk times. @AAAC 76C is still a beast.

Heading to the shed to start the "Ride to The Velodrome" league ride.

Goal : beat @Bored Man

I'll give that a go tomorrow @Randyberlin.
Looks like some of it is where I grew up.

Well I for one am bloody glad you’ve resurfaced my friend. Let a semi asthmatic pathetically unfit battle for nothing like supremacy commence.

And I cant help thinking a greater force is at work here (and I don't mean @keithaitch or @AAAC 76C ) because the timing does seem a bit freaky. Got back on the turbo again today to chase your ghost and this time I'm only 10 mins behind instead of the 12 of yesterday😀

Having you back is the best possible way to start this year. Welcome back, my friend and mentor.

Thank you very much Keith. Its great to have such a warm welcome back from all my bkool friends.
Although it'll be a while before I get to ride virtually in the same screenshot as most of you, I will endeavour to catch up.

Thanks both. That would explain why I can't keep up with both my ghosts and the Lapdog's. I'll try and ride outside to see if my speed indeed decreased. I am sure it dropped some, but 25% is harsh and hard to believe. I'll also try Zwift again to compare. With my friends I see the opposite in Zwift. They're doing 100more watts than they usually do in real life.

Or it might be my trainer, a Bkool Smart Go. It was never the most reliable trainer I guess.

It was Keith. Nasty shock to the system it was too! As I have a feeling you’ve just found out, there’s a bigger of a hill right after the start.

Im going to try and make some of the races. I e just bailed out of a zwift league because I can’t make it every week but hopefully I catch a few of the Thursday races.

Would be great to have you back, even just ss a guest star appearance by...

Where’s your time Randy can’t see it? And was that my ghost you’re talking about? And what’s the email address for?

Randy 's times aren't coming through due approval, brexit to blame i think.

My time isn't showing because its fake news. The mainstream Bkoolers are trying to overturn my victory. My 44 minutes is good enough.
Your ghost was in the Saturday rerun.

I have a second Bkool subscription to lure splitters back. I sent the password to tommy and others.

Edit: I'm happy to share it if you know anybody who would be interested.

Well that sucks! Are your times making an appearance at all? Nice to see Bkool haven’t ironed out all the gremlins. Just wouldn’t be Bkool would it?

Yes. They show as a league ride on my history. I bought A special 2 year subscription on black Friday for $140 and I think the change messed up my account. But it may be my WiFi having small dropouts. I moved my router and will try a league ride in the morning.

But I can assure everyone that Randy speaks no word of a lie and the speed he left the start line on my first ride back on Saturday leaving me in his dust made me realise that nothing was going to be as easy as it used to be
