Team BKool CycleChat

[Whorty]

I may have a go at a stage or two but I'm counting myself out of the NC as I'm not fit enough to go three stages balls out at the current time and still down on the power front.

And yet you're still sending me bingly bong emails of shame! Your "not fit enough" is still better than my "never been fitter"

In my head I think I know who 4 of the 5 will be (assuming @AAAC 76C is Ok to continue and the doc doesn't take too much of an advantage of him ). 5th rider is a question in my mind over more generalist vs specialist. Quite exciting being involved in this, albeit from a ways back in the autobus

Bill you cannot compare one year to the next with Bkool. They have pratted and fiddled with their algorithms so much. Your fitness is probably fine or like alot of us had a dip after Xmas. My first ride back I was nearly 40 Watts down compared to pre Xmas, yesterday was better at 20 Watts lower. Peaks and troughs of fitness

Why don't you, @bobinski , @berty bassett , @Breedon come back to the light side for just a month and have a pop at the trials. I know you are at a disadvantage with your trainers but you're stronger riders now than when you last raced on Bkool and you may make the team. One last swansong ..... go on, you know you want to

Each ride does not have to be completed within the week so feel free to get better before having to put in your quickest rides. That's how the league was set up anyway.
Also, I agree that only ghosts competing in the league should be used, and no use of bots. I don't think anyone uses bots in any leagues, although I wonder how useful they'd be in the Winter Cup?

I have used them in LeJog for company, but that's not a league race so I'm hoping @Jim Brown is OK with that (I'd hate to have to do stage 6 again without them!)

What a good idea Whorty.

Bots are fricking usless, either up the road or way back down

Use an alias. Something like Bass Bertett.
Edit. Also wear unmatched socks. They'll never recognize you.

I am not giving those feckers ANY of my money. They can do some fixing first
You get me a free months pass and I will happily drop in to see you all, even Tommy, shoot off ahead of me

What a good idea Whorty.

Tommy, you are a very cheeky boy

I've just put in my solo time for NC1 46.18. I felt pretty good so I may have not left every thing on the road.

Edit
It has registered in the league.

2nd edit
3 minutes quicker than last year as I was coming out of being very unwell.

Tommy, you are a very cheeky boy

Even for the measly cost of £8 to get the best UK team we can put together?
