I'd rather eat raw goat-liver for 1 year than have to repeat any time soon.


Does the result mean that I spend 54 seconds not pedalling ? Also, how do I write to Bill or does he read this ?

If you reference Bill like this (@BILL S ) then he will get an alert that he has been spoken to and should then see the comment. If you offer him beer he will no doubt then release the ride.

Just looked at your ride .... that must have been a painful last mile or so fighting with my ghost! Given how close you came on this ride, are you not tempted to do ride 1 again? You are 2 mins behind me on ride 1, so you must be able to bring most of that time back

I guess the 54 seconds thing means that BKool thinks you paused the ride for that amount of time. Shouldn't have impacted you ride time. A bit like when you're riding in the real world and you stop at traffic lights ... Strava etc pause the ride as it only records moving time. That's my take anyway unless someone else knows better?

Just finished stage 2.

Three times the damn bkool stand came off on one side of the back wheel. Cost me 2 stops plus one time I had to kick the thing just before it came off.

I suggest that if came off three times it is either broken or you are not mounting the bike correctly.

With the schewer provided by BKool mount the back wheel in the frame with the cam on the right relaxed.
Adjust the threaded clamp on the left until you can only just get the back wheel between the left and right mounts.
Then tighten the cam clamp on the right.
Spin the locknut on the left to lock the threaded clamp in position.
If it still does not feel secure enough tighten the screw clamp a little more.

PS. When you tighten the cam it should lock in the fully righted position.

It was 100% my own fault that it came off. I had done a sloppy job mounting the bike after a tire and tube change. But I was some 17k into the ride and completely in the red the first time it happened. Hence, I just panicked, jumped off, hammered the thing and jumped back on.

I fixed it properly this morning

The last 1-2km were extremely painful. I can confirm.

The result it has given me confidence that maybe I can go deeper than I thought. One of my favorite routes is
Kancamagus Highway Climb from Conway

I find the route very hard and not "easy" as advertized by bkool. Next goal would be to improve my time there. It will require 240W roughly for around 1,5 hours .

I could be tempted to do a re-run of stage 1 again tonight @bugno ...

Er du frisk, nu når cyklen er spændt fast?

Just set up a ghost for you nice gents to chase down on CG3. It's a short, sharp little ride (took me 21 mins 38 secs). A couple of short 3% and 5% lumps. Nothing long, just drains the energy and slows you down.

Should suit the quick starters like @rob01792

Ok, if no one joins me at 20.00 (7pm UK) for stage 1, I'll do stage 3 instead at 20.10, no extra warm up!

Just turn that OFF already! I did warn you last week. I'm getting tried of this cr*p weather here in western part of Denmark. They just told on the news, that with only 3 mm more rain, we go above the norm for all of June!

Can't find him in the rankings. You'll have to use your own copy.

EDIT: Weird, his is not in the rankings for the route, but did ride it on June 8th: http://www.bkool.com/bkoolSessionHistory/showSessionSummary?sessionSummaryId=4619467
