Cheers Mark, was a tricky one for sure! Winner did it in 44 minutes!!! I managed 57 mins. He must have had off road tyres on for sure. I'm really struggling with a hamstring niggle to be honest, any advice? The bike doesn't aggrevate it, but the running sure does. I abstained from all exercise for two weeks when I did it, and thought I'd got it, but it's still niggling. Its not a show stopper, but do worry I'm making it worse.Well done Adam, a nice tough course by the sounds of it, good placing 57th out of 300

Is this all I would need to video and post rides onto Bkool? I know NOTHING at all about how to do this, but if this is all I would need I might get one! Geoff....please advise? Or anyone else who knows for that matter. Remember though, I am a carpenter...not Bill Gates!

You will need a micro sd memory card. They have class ratings and think you will need a minimum of class 10. Memory size minimum 16GB but suggest you would be better getting 32GB or 64GB. If you want to attach it to your bike, you will need a mount. Others may know better than me though - Geoff!!
It is the presence of GPS when recording that makes this camera stand out. I bought a new GoPro Hero 1, and whilst it is a cracking camera, it was a nightmare matching the video footage up with the gps from my phone or garmin bike computer. The VIrb Elite does it automatically. Just ordered one from Amazon.

Thanks!Thanks, hit the right link this time ...
So how do Thursday Night Leagues work? Says on Bkool:-
Thursday Night CC Feb Wk3
From 15/02/2015 to 22/02/2015
Does that mean I can ride it between those dates? Or does it have to be Thursday?

You can ride them anytime in the date range listed for it to count to the league placings. Thursday night is when we try to get as many on the same ride together, it invariably turns into a bit of a race.

No, never! And if you're a sore loser like me, you then try and beat them again and again in the available league window. And invariably fail!

Is the Garmin Virb ok? Is it fit for purpose? I can stretch to £120!

I myself would just stretch more AFTER a run and do self massage in the shower on the calf and then sit in front of my comp with my legs elevated and a good old bag of frozen pea's.
Hopefully after a while it should right itself, that's what I would do but as you know injuries are a nightmare to diagnose, I hope it sorts itself quick for you, like you said yourself though its not effected on the bike so there cant be major damage done.
Hope it gets better soon Adam I know how annoying it is when you cant run, I had 3 years of it!
