nothing at all anywhere ive restarted the sim a few times incase looking like its vanished bit annoying as I give that everything
I cant see AAAC ride from Tuesday either

I can't see either yours or AAAC's from Tuesday night unfortunately. I can see the test you did on Monday on my Homepage and in the League lists from Tuesday.
Geoff may be able to get it included in the results as he has your times from the video.

@rob01792 if you save a few seconds of stage 2, I can adjust the time to match, but it won't give you the miles or the full session on your record, and the overall classification is not so important for the Handicap, so you may consider it not worth the effort?

Great job. Just a quick question. Now the series has two rides completed, how are the scores aggregated? Is there a league table soemwhere for the series?

Cliff

@Cliff Matthews, there is an overall classification, but for the Handicap it doesn't always make a lot of sense, as some people sit on the start line waiting for their Start Time, and this time is included in the classification. It more the Chaingang where the classification is of interest.

Anyway, it's here... http://www.bkool.com/classification/showIndividualLeagueClassification/2498

Does anyone have or know of a short, up to 2 miles, variable bkool route. Lots of little short steep climbs and short descents with a good video.

I'd like to set up a demo of what the system can do before and after our sessions next Thursday for anyone mad enough to want to have a go

It's longer than you need but there's a video route through Central Park in New York which is good for showing what it can do, and there's also lots of gradient changes

thanks Geoff but no point really it was a good ride for me that 1 I was chasing jim until his mechanical then bill caught me at the top of the climb and I tried to stop him getting to far in front on the decent which I managed to stay within 9 sec behind until that little flat section half way down when him and bridgy just shoot off then AAAC gave me a tow in on the last part which in all made me dig deep which I felt was 1 of my best rides for a long time
I can see from ur recording my time was about 46.05 but I wanted to see the data avg-watts-kg rpm h/r

Talking of Ventoux,. Bob are you doing the cingles? It's right up your Street

If my bike hadn't have gone pop I'd have had you all... I was yards away from't top and I knew with a 30 second lead over't top, tha would all av bin beige fodder...

I hope so but I don't want to do it on my own! The mates I am going with want to go up just the once and will eventually start training soon just for the one attempt. Average time for cingles is over 6hrs with risk of not having energy to complete but also losing concentration due to tiredness on the long downs, not something you want to be doing alone. There is probably space in July if you want Then if you fail you can go again in september
Forgot, RGT have a new Ventoux ride due imminently and looks great and will enhance training hugely.

Mine is 4 nights, 5 full days, flights, bikes transported overland, accommodation , breakfast, lunch, tech and logistical support( e.g. A mini bus that follows behind with food and drink and option to bail if necessary) for £700. Yours looks a bit rich for me
