I have a feeling you had that bullet ready in the chamber for a while![/QUOTE]
You would be correct 
A bit anti-inclusive. Have the splitters gone so far away from Bkool now that use Pro users aren't allowed to play even on Zwift?Yes it is, reverse mountain loop. Simple rules, solo, with a power meter.
I remember those days when we rode for fun and a bit of non-serious competition as we still do over on Bkool. It's a bit sad

Carl, I don’t think Andy or anyone is saying you cannot, or any other bkool user, take part but that for this challenge a level playing field is nice. At very least pro on and off then on again. Sound fair?
I don't think any of you need to worry about my times anyway, even with the Pro.

It’s sad BKOOL isn’t reliable bud. I don’t suppose it’s going to change anyone’s day if they come first or last, so in that sense it’s just a bit of fun with competition amongst us as a great motivator. But how can you even know where you have finished without a power meter?

Carl, I think you should look at some of your other lap times and that. You have smoked me and others here. I have no doubt some of that is the huge improvement in your fitness but some of it will also be bkool fairy dust, perhaps on some rides more than others. As I say, on and off and give it a go.
Yes it is, reverse mountain loop. Simple rules, solo, with a power meter.
Ta. Got the link to the Strava segment?

Gawd. That was tough. Sometimes it is just hard. 32km, 1039m if climbing and I want to lie down on the sofa, curl up and go to sleep. Scales say I lost exactly 1 kilo in fluids. Cannot be right.

Hi Carl I wasn't making it exclusive, just as Bob alludes to, even as possible. We now know that the Bkool Pro can work very well with a reset once in Zwift. Go for it, see if you can topple Lee. To be honest Lee's time is a quite amazing.

Edit actually I think its the forward way. My fault, it's just I go the other way normally
. Just look at the profile in the picture

yeah, you confused me and I couldn’t find it!
So is it this one? https://www.strava.com/segments/12118544 and is it called Mountain 8 on the selection screen?

think that is the one - when you click on it , if if draws it like an eight then yes
think Andy called it reverse mountain because it usually seems like you go up it from the other direction
has Andy also mentioned that it is best tackled with the seat post in the lowest position possible ?
