[AAAC 76C]

I'm planning to be on the 7 o'clock live race tonight. Who else is joining?

Me to.
Excuses:
1. Still-suffering from Tuesday
2. Got a mild glandular swelling (neck) that is affecting my breathing (but not stopping it, yet)
3. Spent 3 hours in the garden last night doing manual work that my limbs are not used to (note to self, must do more manual work instead of sitting around on a bicycle).
4. I hate downhills unless its just after a big uphill

Yes, a real tempter. If there are other riders on there I can work with I might, just might, have a chance. If I have to do most of the work on my own I don't think I'll be able to pull back a whole minute.

Hopefully we can work together Whorty but I must admit I will be trying to start quite fast and keep up with Bridgy if I can. All that downhill is tough on the legs spinning so fast so I think this'll be tougher than it looks.

Tbf, i don't think I'll see you after the start, but if I can latch on I will

When I rode it Tuesday I ran out of gears, couldn't spin fast enough Rarely happens to me that I could do with an extra gear

ooh lucky froome dog
could have been worse

Is bkool horribly glitchy tonight for anyone else or is it just me?!

Disable your Windows 10 firewall+antivirus, and things might work out better....

Hmm, and @BILL S even let you cross the finish line first. Talk about a real teammate.

Well that was a bit crap! Didn't have time to try disabling firewall Brusgaard, and as I feared it might, the app basically froze. I tried carrying on at first in the hope it might fix itself but in the end it stopped working completely. I did restart and I think I was a little quicker so I hope I joined the right ride and it counts towards the league!!

The session itself was abnormaly smooth for me with no flickering as folk joined.
Was that a dodgy start or did I loose concentration?
I tried to go back in and watch but there was nothing there just waves in the drafting bar.
One thing I was right about is being shaggered.
I got left on the start line so I didn't panic thinking my time would start from moving (wrong).
Shaggered myself catching up and then let the hill to the work but I couldn't latch on to the passers (yes folk passed me)
I never even saw Skuldick.
Anyway spent half of the race chasing 27 seconds on the guys in front.
Lucky I found out Jacob beasted this one just before it started just to cheer my shaggered self up.
Well, off for a shower and perhaps a long fart as that's about all I have left in me.
Well done Jacob, specially looking at Pep's 'enhanced' stats

I had to remove, clean registry and clean install from the BKool Site post the last update.

Yes I did that as well a couple of weeks ago (as mentioned here). But 2 races later, the "old" problems returned. Then I turned off the Windows 10 firewall and antivirus, and presto, no problem connecting, navigating the menus and the micro-stops were gone as well.
Installed Symantec Endpoint Protection (which has both AV and FW) instead, and did the race today as well with no problem.

Did the same trick on another guy's computer, and after that he had no problems as well. Used Avast Free instead of SEP on his, as the SEP is a licensed product.

Thanks I might try that if the problems persist - this is the first time in ages I have had any kind of problems like that
