Bill, good to see they let you out. Be careful to ensure they dont have to take you back in, however attractive the diet regime.

Open your own Activity detail and place the mouse over the COPY button and note the sessionid no. at the bottom left of your browser window. Now open the Activity details of a rider, who took part in another race on the same route, mouse over COPY and note his sessionid.
Use the URL from previous post and replace the sessionids with the ones you noted. Easy peasy, when you know how to. :-)
Monday I did 18 mins of CG1 at an average watts of 281 but bailed as I knew I wasn't going to significantly better my previous time. I then followed that up with a 10km velo session at an average of 292 watts. I'm currently Active 2 having scored an average 271.18 watts. Next level for me is 279.58 watts. 
Given my power Monday, across 2 sessions with a small rest in between, I figure I might be able to average 280 watts over 30 minutes. Hence, I've set myself up a velo session to do later which will run for 31 minutes .... would love to be able to hold 280+ watts for this session and improve the FTP fitness level 
If anyone wants to join me let me know and we can plan a suitable time. I'm currently aiming for somewhere around 6 o'clock.

Just trying to explain why he flew uphill, and went downhill like a feather. Surely the watts can't be explained by that. Skovsgaard experienced the same in last weeks Bkool race, earning him an Elite 2 status. He wasn't exactly thrilled, as he knew the watts were way off on that session... :-)

That could work for me. Today is ANOTHER day of rain, and I didn't get around to packing away the Bkool setup this past weekend. :-) Might even join you tomorrow for the CG, if the weather doesn't change for the better...
I do wonder if the BKool algorithm gets confused sometimes and estimates the watts based on speed, and when you have such a lightweight at 50kg, going fast up hill, it just over estimates the watts ... but wow, to 1000 watts is some overestimate
i think in cases like that we have to assume the speed is mostly correct but the estimate power is all buggered up 
Cool - I'll set the session up to start warm up at 6 o'clock UK time for ride start at 6-10. If anyone else fancies a blast around the velo to try and improve their FTP than feel free to join
i have planted some Bots on the course to kill any potential boredom
Awesome - got it, thanks!

Can't be, all Bkool soft- and hardware products are 100% fool proof, error free and quality assured.
If you look closely at the ride, his speed hardly changed at all when it went uphill, so his watts went from 100ish to 1000ish with no change in speed. Faulty trainer??I do wonder if the BKool algorithm gets confused sometimes and estimates the watts based on speed, and when you have such a lightweight at 50kg, going fast up hill, it just over estimates the watts ... but wow, to 1000 watts is some overestimate
Can't join you tonight but good luck! No drafting other riders if you want to keep your watts up remember!Cool - I'll set the session up to start warm up at 6 o'clock UK time for ride start at 6-10. If anyone else fancies a blast around the velo to try and improve their FTP than feel free to join

Don't set those Zwift splitters offCan't be, all Bkool soft- and hardware products are 100% fool proof, error free and quality assured.
You'll never hear the last of it 
The bots will be too slow to draft anyway, but it's nice to get the 'boost' as you pass them every couple of laps
Having a rider (even a bot) ahead gives something to chase so helps me anyway to keep the power on. Hoping I have the legs tonight as never been Active 3 before

I did nearly bite when i read Brusgaard's post. I was going to say something about accurate power and use of power meters in bsim and i thought to myself " nope-keep quiet: You don't want to be rattling any cages....".
