Lol I was 1st on the leader board for volcano flat.

I wasn't there very long though, felt good today so thought I'd see if I could increase my ftp I did but not by much so it's 236 up 3 watts.
I've been doing some training on the bike and with weights and I think it's all ready making a difference so I'm thinking about getting on trainer road so I should see some proper gains.

Oh and yes I am after you all though some of your times are pretty hard to get.

Dean. I have a free trial of you want to have a go on TR? I'm finding I've lost a fair bit of power recently in the quest to gain endurance. My leg muscles are aching a lot just from adding a bit of power training. It will settle down, eventually!

Currently doing cap formentor on RGT- something not working; climbing 8% in big ring and cannot get much above 160w .set at 100% slope. Speed is slow at 7kph. Something amiss so may have to stop- v frustrating

I will put an effort when I get back from Ventoux in the hope I create some distance..

I had something similar happen last time i did RGT it just didn't feel right, probably won't go back on it until they release the update and see if its any better

I had a similar issue on BRVR. I think it was OS related, rather than BRVR, as I had just come off of a bkool session, I don't think the ANT+ stick got released properly. I did not pick up the problem immediately as I was on a flat section t start with. A reboot of the SW (BRVR) normally resolves the problem from my experience.

Finished it but not workout I needed. Also Sucked the juice out of my laptop in a way bkool and Zwift never have . Still, if I can get resistance working properly it will be a good training ride, almost a chaingang ride!
Boxers, will try that if I have a go at Stelvio at weekend

A bit lazy here, If I wanted to use ERG to train on Zwift, how do I activate it?

And some closed groups/races! At work so not been able to find out much about this yet.

Trying to sign up for Road Grand Tours, asks me for a power meter model before I can register. I don't have one, any ideas?

Do you have an Ant+ smart trainer? (FEC capable IIRC) I believe it will run on one of them.

Edit to Add

I just re-registered under a different email address. You do not need to enter a power meter as the equipment you have is reviewed(?). I have just entered NO in that section and put my BKOOL trainer in the next box.
