All that and you came past me like the bar was closing...!?

Is that why you sped up?

Dinner was in the oven and the dog was drooling.

No @Daddy Pig but I did cut short my cool down..

I'm surprised you didn't stop to eat dinner, then finish off the ride..

Well that was tough - everyone had shot past me within the first 8 miles.

Not done much riding during the last 3 weeks and I really felt it.

Hopefully Geoff will be kind to me for next weeks event - onwards and upwards, but in my case very slowly.

Just watched that on the highlights programme, great finish

Well, you blew me away anyway. There were a couple of moments where it took a few seconds to alter the gradient on the resistance, I was still pushing uphill on a downhill section!

I get this all the time. The little line is 20%+ into the new gradient before I feel the change. That's why every time I go from a plus to minus gradient everyone near me just flies by. Even the lapdog ghost leave me

I thought that was normal and everyone had the lag

Me too, I get it as well.

I was getting that riding through mud feeling that others have eluded to and when I looked down my magnets were well into the flywheel and I was going downhill (I ride with my covers off of the turbo to avoid and grinding etc).
So I switched the turbo on and off to reset it. This happened 3 times. The first time I got off my bike to have a good look at everything.
One thing I can't explain is how low my watts were showing.

Ah - that explains why I was able to catch back up to you after you had passed me!

Still no update to the Winter Cup I see @Whorty........

Also still no explanation on Facebook as to what's going on despite them saying they would "Look into it straight away" on Monday Morning. I chased them up again yesterday morning but that's been ignored too

I reckon that there are underlying issues.
It's possible that the high volume of greyed out times that we have seen lately, or at least the amount of time it takes them to become fully uploaded to the bkool website is a sign of a bigger issue which is why the league is not updated.

I think you're right. Bkool clearly don't want to admit that if it is the case though.....
