Geoff. Do the league results get saved anywhere after they are closed?

Yep, there is a tab for the past leagues in the group ...

Is the Thursday League shut now Geoff?

If not, I might have a quick play up Harriers. It shows as open still, but knowing BKool, that means nothing at all!

I did an outdoor ride yesterday with the Bkool iPhone app and it was a 3D course by 9pm. They must have jumped on it as soon as I finished. I'm still working on the video.

So I have looked into creating an interval % effort based league. The Bkool software does not really make this easy to do as it is. You would have to analyse each session and compile results each week. On top of this I can think of about 10 ways of cheating it or accidentally messing up the results. I also think our group is pretty great as it is with Geoff's Thursday night league and Bills mountain goats (both of which bsim software suits). If we have too much going on it might start being a chore.

From looking online It seems that this type of high intensity workout is well catered for on training road and if bkool ever allow integration or we all get kickr we should revisit the Idea.

Sorry, I really should have investigated first or asked Geoff before proposing the Idea (Based on his comments I think he had already thought of this).

If you need a Bkool interval session check this one - http://www.bkool.com/profile/detail/95281?durationType=DISTANCE&lapCount=1
Its awesome for doing VO2 max intervals up the hill , then just cruise the downhill part to recover for the next one.

OK, all the stages have updated in the overall classification now and everyone seems to be showing all the stages they posted, so I have closed the February League, and big thanks to all 17 members who took part!

Congratulations to (Elite) Adam for a well deserved win, and the dedication to put in a couple of last minute sessions when needed!

Congratulations also to Bill for a close second place and pushing both Adams so hard ...

Third was Adski, who also won the "Geoff" prize for the most aggressive (and audacious) rider ...

Kipster just missed out on the podium by a few minutes, then there was a bit of a gap to the rest of us ...

Commiserations to Randy, who missed 6th place by 0.6 of a second!

3 stage wins went to (Elite) Adam and Bill got the other stage win, on Rundlestone (perhaps not surprisingly, the longer climb).

Sprint and Mountain points still seem to be extremely broken, Bkool had said they hoped to fix it in the next release.

March's league will probably start sometime tomorrow, enjoy ...

Geoff
