I was pretty much just watching the gap back to you the whole way and trying to play the odd mind game hoping to make you think it was a useless cause to try and catch me. It wasn't of course because I couldn't have gone any faster. I just hoped you didn't know that. The tyre is good but probably not the best. Its taught me the importance of tyres on the bkool though. Doubt I'll wait so long to change it next time.

Wow.. Finally made it to the end of this thread... The riding will seem easy after that!
All I need do is for the bkool to turn up, and t be accepted into the two groups... Sent requests to both the mountain goats and the Thurs night group. Can't wait to join in

Out of interest, how many of you got your bkools direct? How long did it take to arrive? Mines been a week now, so am expecting it any time.. Annoying though that its one less week of the trial :s

Lol! I could see you trying to maintain the lead. I was giving it everything, but couldn't get back what you took at the start. The beauty of BKool is that even if you are losing, you can still focus on that time difference, and your race becomes trying to reduce that time. That's what my race became. Although of course, had I managed to close the gap to an achievable amount, I would have wound down another snickers, and pedalled till I either passed out or threw up!

I'm starting to become a bit of a masochist. I am beginning to thrive on the pain and discomfort of sheer over exertion. Love it. Thankyou everyone, it's so nice to see a big posse on the start line.
Darn. You must have joined just as I closed my BSIM. So immediately it would start as I wouldn't be pedalling any more. I thought the whole session had crashed but it must have been just mine.

Welcome Wardy
Welcome, you'll need to keep on top of it, a couple of pages are added a day! The riding isn't easy, you just get to tolerate then enjoy the pain.

Never managed to make the ride tonight - a long story! I will try and set my explosive time in next day or two so watch out at the top of the leaderboards........ NOT!
It was a good ride just did not have anything in my legs to chase anyone down think the hilly 60km mountain bike ride I did yesterday did not help much lol
Looks like my session needs sorting again as its got the usual x against the weight, seems this happens every time lol
if you get chance please Geoff

Hi Wardy, welcome to the BKool Pain Game. I ordered mine direct, took about 10 days, but don't get your hopes up. I think Bkool is run by one Spanish guy in his garage. It's like crawling through treacle trying to get anything done with them. But, they have always come through in the end, just be patient if you enter into any correspondance with them, they do get back to you eventually, and it's worth the wait. I love it, in fact I am starting to prefer it to going outside, how sad is that.
It's a pleasant crowd in here too, yes, even you Bill!
There is a nice broad range of ability in here, so I'm sure you will find your pace man soon enough.
