How do you find trainer firmware info?
 
On my easy ride today I thought I would put my garmin on in case Bkool or my laptop decided to play silly buggers so here's the comparison results.

Bkool
Distance: 21 miles
Time: 1:15:51
Cadence: 85
HR: 124
MPH: 16.7
Power: 144.1

Garmin
Distance: 19.86
Time: 1:15:20
Cadence:85
HR: 125
MPH: 15.8
Power: Not got one :rolleyes:

Not too different between them both but it would have been interesting to see the power output.

I was just wondering, how many people struggle to make the Thursday Night 7pm rides? Is there enough demand for an additional ride, at a different time earlier in the week, or at the weekend?

We have 22 active members, and some might like to do both times, so we should be able to have one at a completely different time, say for people who struggle to get home from work early enough during the week, or have to put the kids to bed.

How about Saturday at 5pm, say? Or some other time? Anyone keen for an alternative time? Make suggestions and we can try and get a consensus.

Cheers,

Geoff

Well myself and Richy are up at 2 and 4 am so you wont see us much to be honest but Saturday at 5 would certainly suit me.

Saturday or Sunday for me, 5pm fine, I could make an early morning one too.

I would struggle at a weekend because I normally try and get a 50+ miler done on a Saturday. On Sunday I take a few novice riders out for about 20 miles (at least I do if they turn up).

I would be able to do them if the weather is lousy out.

I could make a Saturday 5pm ride fairly often I reckon. Thursday 7pm is also good for me, although I have to do that one on a full stomach.

I think it's going to be a struggle whenever you have it, it may just be a case of having a 3 day option to do a map or have 2 maps each week and people can fit them in better with their lifestyles, or something like that?

Doesn't bkool habe an option for everyone to do the race as and when it suits them? It's not like there's any external factors that would differ from day to day.

You could set the race up and put a 72 hr window on it for instance
