I does seem that some people have had problems with the downloads from the windows shop/store or whatever the hell they call it. The direct download is here about 1/4 of the way down the page below the link to the windows store.
Do you know what graphics capability you have in your PC? RGT recommends GeForce 9x as a minimum which isn't massively demanding. If your PC runs that or higher then you can probably rule out a GPU related issue. Just a thought.
I'm seriously tempted - really enjoyed last week's - but there's a freak weather event here in Scotland tomorrow. 11c and sun is too good to miss so I'm probably going to get outside for the first time in weeks. Looking forward to Tuesday's one at 6pm GMT though.
I'll start slowly and get dropped by the group I should stay with. I'll then ITT for a while unable to catch the group in front and unwilling to wait for the ones behind. After two sections I'll think this is futile and want to get off and have an early beer. As the third section starts I'll suddenly feel great and wished I hadn't let the group go at the beginning and ride like a demon and catch a couple of people. I'll then selfishly suck their wheels and drop them on the fourth section. I'll ride too hard between sections four and five and not have the energy left for section five where the two guys I dropped will almost catch me. They will push on to the end, treating it like a race and I will let them because the sections are over and I know I will have beaten them on the timed sections. I will finish all happy, have my beer, check the results and find they beat me by seconds. Grrrrr. Are there really five sections!!!!! that's going to hurt. I actually did the climb in treal life two years ago when I visited my in-laws who live in Golden. It's hard but not an alp. View from the tyop of the Rockies
You snuck over to Scotland!
It's the max average power threshold (3.2w/kg) which suits me if I want a steady ride and to ride with the front group instead of scrapping for top 50. But it's a bit of a lottery if I can't see what my average output is. Also, it didn't feel any harder than last time but I'm not going to sit in wheels to save watts just in case I get a DQ. But having the data would at least add another tactical dimension. I'm just having a whinge - I guess I'll just need to put in the training and join the big boy races :-)
Might be possible Paul though I have a feeling that the Drivo is limited to one comms protocol or the other. But I'll check.
How did it turn out for you @perswe. I really enjoyed it and rode it well, finished 4th, but think i did the segments better than that. Only one did i have to do on my own. I really like the format. I'll be doing the one on Tuesday evening, though i suspect you won't have been eliminated from the devil by then, and then the last one next Sunday which includes a 20km climb as it's last section. Yippee!
