I'm not there either Add, I expect its good old Bkools fault again

Relax guys, you're all there. You have to click on Stage 1 to see the results as they haven't propagated through to the full league yet.

Looks like we were successfully joined by Adski, Me, Rayvon, RunExeter, Berty, and of course Juan Carlos!

Anyone else?

Did all you guys select it off the live tab after I started it?

I wonder what shows up on the Group tab and the Friends tab?

Geoff

 

[gbrown]

Yeah, that was exactly the same for me. Weird. Plenty of Live sessions appearing but no sign of Sky Road.

It just occurred to me, you guys who don't see the session do have Premium subscriptions?

Multi-player is listed as a Premium feature, that's what made me wonder.

Geoff

 

[BILL S]

I wonder what shows up on the Group tab and the Friends tab?

Geoff

I've tried both a few times and nothing at all shows up.

Yup. Got the Premium subscription.

I came in through the live tab. I tried talking too, as I could pick up someone elses mike. But didn't get any response. Did send Darren a message too!

Got premium as standard on the trial period.

Hi
I have just got a BKool pro trainer and I would like to have a go at entering the leagues
How would I go about doing this please?
Thanks

Andy

First join the Rebel Group and/or apply to join the Thursday Night Group, from the Share section of the web site, under the Groups page.

Then you can see each groups league sessions and have a go at them.

The idea of the Thursday night group is to aim for a mass multi-player session at 7pm on each Thursday.

Cheers,

Geoff

Mmm, I'm not showing up in the League results! Why's that I wonder? Have you deleted me Geoff, so you can assume pole position?

I was tempted!

 

[RickB]

I see the 3d velodrome ones too but not the other 3d ones in Live.

Funnily enough it also wasn't showing up under my League tab.

It was there under my league listing and I could start it from my scheduled runs so no worries there. Just couldnt hook up with the rest of the gang.

 

[gbrown]

Did you see my message I sent you Darren? I came back into the session as a spectator after I finished, and messaged you. Just wondered if it popped up on your screen or not?
Also Geoff, could you hear me talking? I had my mike on, and could hear other peoples Turbos going, but no one spoke. I did have chat checked.

I didn't plug in my headset, as I didn't think anyone else would bother. Not sure I was ever within 50 meters for you anyway, otherwise I'd have been asking you to give me a draft!

I'll try the headset next time, but all you'll hear is my panting and heavy breathing!

Geoff

 

[kipster]

looks like I missed out on some turbo fun this evening, I must get on an order the replacement unit, I have decided on the Pro. Hopefully I will get the unit on Saturday, if I order tomorrow, which gives me a few days to try get back into it again before getting beaten by you lot!

 

[camerauk]

Cheers I have asked to join the Thursday night group
and The Rebels group

It'll be the disconnect parameter. Need a longer time set for future rides. Having said that I've now installed Goeff's patented USB extension so the Ant+ is just a foot or two away from the unit.

We did get a load of validation failures due to the disconnect parameter, but I was expecting them and accepted them as soon as they turned up.

It was interesting to see the parameters listed.

So far we have had 5 failures on disconnect and 1 for being weightless!

Bill - Lost signal

2240.948 (<= 10)
Rayvon - Lost signal

2333.406 (<= 10)
Adski - Lost signal

1906.347 (<= 10)
Geoff - Lost signal

16.071 (<= 10)
Rayvon - Lost signal

2176.966 (<= 10)

Looks like a value of 10 is pitifully inadequate, need more like at least 2,500!

Looking at the other parameters, there are the expect Heart Rates of zero but also average cadences of an unlikely 114 and even 125. If true, that's a pretty impressive average, what must the maximum be?

I must admit, actually talking to someone would have probably seen me pass out. I needed every scrap of oxygen I could suck in. Did enjoy it though, it certainly spurs you on doesn't it? You would never get the same level of motivation from a basic, non interactive, Turbo trainer would you?

 

[camerauk]

I look forward to having a try on the last ride over the weekend and will make sure I make it on Thursday evening
