Well done everyone on Salcombe, I thought I'd just beat by best time by a second, but not it came in at 5 minutes dead again, surprised I had that in my legs after the velodrome

I was done after the velodrome, I was just watching you and Bill in amazement and trying not to pack it in ...

 

[johnny2names]

oof, that was hard. Nothing in the legs today sadly. HIT training Tuesday and 45 miles on the road yesterday perhaps not the best prep! got lapped 3 times by Geoff on velodrome, I hang my head in shame
The whole thing was a bit bizarre, I got lapped 3 times by Geoff,twice by Kipster, no one else on the road that I saw- but finished 8th. so a bunch of riders not showing? anyone else get that? also, both sessions have failed to upload so far.... grrr

 

[BILL S]

Geoff and Kipster. You two were flying in the velodrome. I just couldn't keep up. I was 8th according to the results.

well done Geoff, I messed up the final sprint and couldn't get the few seconds back. Not sure what happened with the placings??? I as NQ

I was NQ too, I think we got lapped!

I messed up the start, it's quite hard to time when to stop pedalling and if you leave it too late the session starts while it is still waiting for you to stop. I got off the line a few seconds late and had no idea where everyone had gone. I'm sure I saw Bill briefly, but for some reason I never saw the top 5 or 6, although it did show some drafting symbols the actual riders were invisible on the track.

I was showing 7th or 8th, and thanks to Kipster had some great company (and a bit of a tow when I needed to rest a little). I tried to learn my lesson from last time and not leave it till too late to go at the end, but miscalculated and went a lap too early, so had to do another lap having given my all.

I'm afraid the Bkool gremlins were ever present, I set it up as a timed session to last 20 minutes, but it just did 47 laps instead. I password protected it, but it ignored that, half the riders were invisible and now nothing from today is showing in my activity history ...

Anyway, bloody good fun, and great motivation. You lot really put the "intensity" in "high intensity" training!

Yes I experienced very similar. Something not quite right going on. 3 riders looked to be stuck on the start line too.

Same here, a bunch of invisible riders and all my sessions not yet showing ...

45 miles on the road yesterday, pretty impressive!

And you were forcing me to keep going at a pretty uncomfortable pace on Salcombe Hill!

I'm looking forward to a rest on Mont Ventoux this weekend!

P.S. No way am I doing it if the others' sessions don't show up, not doing all that to have nothing to show for it.

That's weird, it told me you have beaten me hands down ... I couldn't understand how you had got so far in front. Think it all went moobs up ...

Bkool just sent me this response regarding the lost rides:

Thanks for your message. Please check if there is any session not sent. Enter the simulator and click on Settings, and then on "About Bkool Indoor", at the bottom of the menu. Let us know if the field "Completed sessions remaining to send" is zero or not.

I don't see an "About Bkool Indoor" anywhere in settings in the simulator. Anyone see it?

I didn't get lapped, but at the start it said someone was way out in front, but the session had only just started??

I thin, that you won the session Geoff and I was 6 seconds behind you although at the end it said I was NQ, the 10th rider down the list.

Also waiting for it to show up.

My warm up session has just appeared, it will be interesting to see what the Velodrome shows, if it turns up.

Thanks Kipster. That did the trick.

It says there's no completed sessions remaining to send.

The thought I had at the start, I can keep up with Bill, lasted but a few short seconds.

Thanks Kipster. That did the trick.

My warm up session appeared straight away but nothing from the Velodrome or Salcombe Hill (and it was my best time - even though it was about twice that of the rest of you!!)

Bkool Gremlins need to get sorted and soon me thinks!

Thanks for organising the rides.

 

[Richylad]

Good couple of rides, thanks for organising those Geoff, I had same strange gremlins as everyone else, never rode the velodrome before, can imagine when it's working it will be fun (competitive)
