And why has La Riba dropped out of the League?!? Should be there until tomorrow. Was just about to do it again. Might just have to challenge Geoff, off the record!!

Mmm, wonder why mine keeps timing out. I'll switch off and back on, and try again.

Mine has just updated fine

 

[Runexeter]

My software updated ok but still not getting any idea if my turbo unit is as even when I put usb in it I get no notifications to update it.
I know the Pro updates the unit by the Ant+, I wonder if because my Classic was a late version that it has this option as well?

La Riba is still open in the League, you should be able to challenge me directly from the league results for the stage, although I'd rather you didn't bother!

Same happened to mine today. Might have to try taking the Bkool closer to the router for better connection.

Warmer weather back again. Seem to be able to make more watts in the warmth.

Updated mine ok, put usb extension lead on and everything is much better, cadence was spot on, watts stable, level increased after yesterdays poor show. 100 laps in the velodrome, legs burning, happy man

That the sort of margin you were looking for Geoff? But I couldn't get it to register as a league run you'll be very pleased to hear!

Surprising how much fitter one is when a USB extension cable is applied!

Also couldn't do update with extension lead attached, once removed, updated just fine.

Pah ...

I knew I should have kept that idea to myself!

Well done, and congrats on the upgraded fitness level.

Hopefully you'll be too knackered to humiliate me again tomorrow night ...

Darn! That would look good in the league results! No sign of it though.

Can you do the same for Col de la Madeleine please?

Lol, lookout..... for the first time EVER, I did about 20 minutes at over 300 Watts! Guess I was dropping signal....and therefore power. But I am bushed, so tomorrows velodrome could be interesting.

No amount of extra leads and updates can make me catch Bill though. Up until about halfway, I was within 30 seconds of you.... then you cooked me... on the downhill particularly actually!

And yeah, it wouldn't present itself in my League tab on BSim. So just had to challenge Geoff, and added Bill to the session.

Has anyone worked their way through the Simon Warren 100 climbs? There are 12 in the South West and so far I've only done 2 (No 12 Salcombe Hill and No 9 Haytor Vale)

I've just uploaded the Segments (with my timings) and also the No 1 Cheddar (with timings removed) to allow me to practice it before giving it a go in the spring.

I'm going to try and do all 12, I'll have to try them all out on BKool first.

Not looking forward to No 3 Crowcombe Combe (closest to me but averages 15% and max 25%) or Porlock (4.9 km and max 25%)

I will try and get video's on the Virb, for those I manage to do, to upload here.

^^ How about we make that into a League and do one a week starting next year some time?

 

[BILL S]

Is it the velodrome tonight chaps? In the League it says it starts tomorrow although I might just be confused because that might be when individual runs start.

Same as last week? Geoff starts the session and we all look for it in LIVE from 7pm to 7.10 ?
