Team BKool CycleChat

Suggestion:

Loads of fun and only ever so slightly competitive. To be honest I'm a bit doubtful as to whether the bkool reduces the resistance at all when drafting. If it does it's so tiny as to hardly notice it compared to the significant amount of drag reduction in the real world.

I find quite a big difference when drafting to be honest. Well worth it if you can hold position (which is very tricky!)

with all this drafting we'll need a bkool software enhancement, keyboard shortcut for an elbow flick

 

[kipster]

My strategy is to try and avoid being beaten by Adam (Add) and/or Darryn. I'll do whatever it takes

That's better than mine, as well I don't have one at all, yet. Well not one that I can deliver on!

Mine took longer than 20 minutes. I started it during lunch and went back to work after 20 minutes but it finished before I got home for the day.
Kipster, I'm all for forming an anti breakaway group but I'm working out of town at the end of the week and will miss the live race.

If im holding you back, forget about me and do your own thing.

@Blueface you in?

as it's a long ride, im not looking to push. hope to keep my HR @160 for most of the ride

I'll start it but my left leg feels a slight strain from yesterday. Will see how it frees up though. You guys are fitter than me so ill be struggling to hold on!!

Both my legs are aching, no idea why, hopefully they'll feel better once it has started.

 

[kipster]

Shall we try and keep it together, it's mostly flatish with max 5.5% gradient, take turns in front 1km each?

 

[Rob H]

I'm happy to take turns on the front, see how it goes?

 

[Rob H]

I have a 70 mile real ride torrow night so not gonna kill myself

 

[Rob H]

Right I'm going to set it up in 5, if you can't find search rob h

 

[RickB]

Flip, I'll be lucky to hold on to your wheels never mind take time at the front!!

See how it goes sure.
