Bob - I didn't say Zwift users were unhelpful, I said, and I quote "Zwift is also less friendly" and I stand by that. I could quote for hours the unfriendly comments I've seen on FB aimed at other fellow Zwift riders, but this is rarely seen on Bkool rides. There have even been threads where there has been talk of people having thrown insults at people whilst in-ride FFS!

As for being personal, you quoting me then mentioning souped up Pro trainers was personal and you knew this would get my back up. Maybe if you hadn't had a dig at Pro users, again, I may not have reacted. When you stop having a dig at Pro users I'll stop responding - unfortunately I see this as a form of bullying as you must know that not everyone can afford to spend extra money on other trainers or power meters so we use what we have. Stop having a go at Pro users as not everyone can afford a Neo, power meters and all the extra expensive gubbins. Some of us just want to ride and get fitter and have a bit of a laugh along the way.

Carl, 10s of 1000’s of users means a few cretins and stupidity are sadly inevitable. CC has what, less than 25 active users and so the likelihood of anyone like that appearing let alone surviving here if they acted like that is small if not statistically insignificant.

A form of bullying? Wow again. Is that bullying just you or every other Pro user on this forum? And Just me and not anyone else who has questioned or discussed the vagaries of the Pro units in Zwift? Perhaps you just don’t like being challenged Carl over what is essentially a game. You held on for ages to the idea the Pro didn’t over report watts and likely speed in Zwift against all the evidence others, not just bullying me, presented. Perhaps if you did not feel the need to jump in every time someone said they didn’t like Zwift I might not be equally childish enough to respond. Or should I suggest your jumping in is also a form of bullying? Ganging up? Self serving? You are playing a ridiculous card and really should put it away.
I get it. This is a lovely friendly place to race and banter with mates. That makes up for all manner of sim issues. It’s also a place to happily rail against the “other” sim even if that means exaggeration or miss representation. But don’t let anyone challenge that/you? However many smiley faces. That’s just bullying.

If anyone else agrees with Carl that I am bullying Carl or anyone else here please pm me. In the meantime I will remove myself from this forum.
Carl, this is pretty undignified for both of us. If you want to respond I suggest we go to pm. If you are concerned I might take that as an opportunity to further bully you then you are at liberty to copy and paste anything I say into this forum.

Great race tonight Keith. :notworthy: I had hoped to snick in behind you but I couldn't, so hoped that teaming up with Brusgaard would catch us back up with you but that didn't work either. Then I thought that you might weaken by the end but if anything you just got stronger.

@Whorty Thanks for all the road paint which I unfortunately didn't see as I always seemed to be looking somewhere else rather than the road ahead. I'll assume you were telling me to pull the finger out:smile:

Hi Peter :welcome:. We have a re-run of tonights race on Saturday at 5pm. If you're not sure how to join the race just ask here. Easiest way is do a search in the sim using the filter to look for the name of the person starting the race, usually me, so search for Bill S.

Cheers for the encouragement! Nearly made it past Brusgaard but as I started late I knew my time was ahead so maybe lacked the last bit of inspiration needed to push past ha ha!
I have hit 202bpm before, wish the watts were equivalent :laugh:

I think I was encouraging you .... but I may also have been telling you to pull your finger out :tongue: I did think you and Brusgaard would pull Keith back but he was on fire tonight.

Bobinski & Worthy, I would like to make a formal complaint. Your posts are getting way too long for my smartphone. Just when I think I can relax with a cop of coffee, you two force my pointing finger on serious overwork :angry:.

It looked a good race @keithaitch was putting out some serious watts when I looked in. Unfortunately my remote keyboard was playing up so I missed the start :sad: I'll run it tomorrow with some ghosts :sad:

Thx bill, at first I was surprised to be ahead you, and when I saw you were with brusgaard I thought you would catch me and so I was just riding tempo waiting to be caught but then you dropped brusgaard so i knew it was just a time trial between us. The terrain was perfect for me anything up to 4% I seem to be able to gain time on people. I knew you would pull time back on me on the flat and downhill bits but didn't panic and saved myself for the last climb. Let's see what aaac can do to ghost. I'll ride cg3 on Saturday.
