I'd love to join you guys but the weathers at that point where it'll take a rainy day to bring me back inside for bkool shenanigans.

Today im supposed to be blasting a years worth of cack of the decking so the sooner a sneak out of here the better!

I wouldn't say I'm good up the hills .... I just enjoy the challenge. Flat cycling is a bit too 'easy' (in that you can take it easy if you want and don't have to push yourself) whereas the hills are never easy as taking it easy means rolling back down again :rofl:

Hills can be eas-ier ^_^ Gear correctly so you don't go into the red, once in the red zone its almost impossible to recover unless you stop. On the DD, I will ride to HR and not try to exceed a certain threshold on the climbs to make it enjoyable.

I thought you said CRACK!

Amy Winehouse used to live around the corner so it's quite possible!

We do have a dog. Part Staffordshire Bull terrier part Labrador is the common consensus although it's never been confirmed.... but the cack in the garden I was referring to was mainly just your standard crud with a light scattering of bird poop.

That's something I'm playing with these days as well -- trying to stay out of the red zone while climbing. If I'm climbing hard, the idea is to stay as close to the "line" as a I can without going over. I'm watching both HR and watts.

Using that approach I knocked 4.5 minutes off my PB for the watopia epic kom climb last night.

My last night's ride still not showing on BKool (greyed out). Flippin annoying. I've mentioned this twice now in their FB page and zero response. At this rate I will be dropping BKool as they are a shables and can't get the basics to work.

The person who joined my ride had their ride show straight away (I know this as he beat me and I got an email of shame). So why do some show and some not - makes absolutely no sense.

You will have to have it authorised by Bkool due to absolute astonishment that you didn't win... :reading:
