Team BKool CycleChat

[Cliff Matthews]

I asked because I've kind of been experimenting a bit and I think bkool rewards grinding a bigger gear uphill more than spinning a low one. I don't know though - might just be an individual thing?

May well be an individual thing. I get higher watts spinning a low gear in BKool and I get better speed for longer on the road at a high cadence but eventually when resolve breaks or for rapid acceleration towards the end of the climb, getting out of the saddle on a higher gear brings much needed relief.

I'd be interested to hear Lars' opinion on his pedals now he's had them a while.

They seem to be consistent, which is the most important thing. I have compared several real-life mountain segments with watt theory and have found the numbers to match, so my conclusion is that they are fairly accurate too.

Does anyone know if there's somewhere on the Bkool website that shows when your premium subscription expires? I'm struggling to work it out from past emails which are a bit unclear and confused further by the fact I took up an offer of a 1 month extension for £1 a while back....

No - just found it on the "Premium" tab on the drop down options beneath my name. It seems I have it set for auto-renewal via credit card and it renewed for a year.....YESTERDAY!!

Andy,
do you have a blue reactivate renewal button? I won't be pressing that blue button but surprised it doesnt show as auto renewal cancelled.

Is there a handicap chase session tonight.

Just looked in BKool, the Stage 2 session says
Week 2 (Banff) in Pico Peñas de Dios (La Yesa - Villar del Arzobispo)
14/03/2017 23:59. Is this correct?

There is a Handicap setup for tonight, usual 7pm time (in fact, I think it best to aim to start warm-up at 6:50 and actual chase at 7pm, so Start Times are very obvious.

Who's up for it? Need 12 riders or more for TTT, otherwise will drop back to individual handicap chase.

Yes,. I cancelled my auto renew a few weeks back and screen copied it, just on case

I'm aiming to be there. Only proviso is that I run turbo trainer sessions tonight but hopefully will synchronize things so that I drop onto the turbo trainer at the right time.
I'll watch out for handicap details.
