You can design kits in Zwift.

You can't (any more) in Bkool though, so my new one is "special"

White shorts?

Red white and blue actually Bob.

The design's a bit crap in all honesty, but that's not the point.

So it is. Could have been worse...

Man up!! Ha!! Cheeky bugger

Racing at the weekend Whorty and will post in the splitters thread about how it goes. Seeing as my post has so affronted yours and Bills competitive natures I hope to do good and be able to describe an effort the equivalent of Pantani besting that self confessed dick Armstrong on Ventoux

And there lies Bkools problem. It's great having so many different routes to choose from. The flat, the rolling, the hard uphill and the alpine climb. The 3D, map or video display. A route for your mood. But due to the cornucopia of choice there are very few, organised, social rides. Every session tends to degenerate into a race, nttawwt. It's just sometimes you want to trundle with a group of fellow riders.

Don't you go soft on us too! If you don't get off bkool ready to vom then you haven't worked hard enough! It's the bkool way

Boxers you have a power meter, so could get the full setup in Zwift.

Oy, stop poaching the autobus team!

Well, my fellow shut ins, I come baring a begging bowl. As I have said, I have some how persuaded my work colleagues to partake a bit of virtual velodrome action in BKool. The plan is to do 2 sessions over the course of a day, about 8am to 3 or 4 pm. The 2 sessions are as follows

http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/875?durationType=DISTANCE&lapCount=250
This is intended to be a race.

We will then follow it with this
http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/1516126?durationType=DISTANCE&lapCount=400
A 100km endurance ride.

The 2 combined will be 162.5 virtual kilometers or 100 miles. If both teams complete both sessions that will be 200 miles.

BY the way most of the participants have not riden a bike in a while or 10.

We are doing it as part of a Red Nose Day event at work. We are hoping to raise a few pounds sterling for charity. I any of you would like to donate please follow the link below. Any and all donations are gratfully received

I'm just trying to get back into the swing of things here in bkool. I may dabble in Zwift once I get back to where I was before Christmas, we shall see.

I'm hoping for a en masse shift

 

[Whorty]

Unfortunately I have to take it easy for the next two weeks so no racing or wc events for me so says the gp.

Sounds like zwift is perfect for you... They don't race there either

I'm tempted by the trial. But it sounds confusing haven't to select your route when riding. I can't reach my keyboard so could end up anywhere!

Good on you @theboxers - hope the event is a success. I've made a donation for you

If Andy can do it....

You don't have to, let it auto select, just keep pedalling

But then how do you know who you are riding with? So if TB, Soarev, Jim and I start a gentle spin through zwift world, how do we stay together if you either have to select your course enroute or it auto selects for you?
