Reset. We seem to be back online with the simulator and this month's league is appearing in my sessions. However my recent rides ( 3 stages since Sunday) in the winter cup whilst they have been recorded are not yet appearing in either the stage or the overall results. So perhaps it was maintenance, but a first class outfit would have back up servers to allow the website and simulator to function while maintenance is being done on the main servers. Let's hope everything is good for tomorrow evening as it seems we could have a big turn out. I'll keep updating the spreadsheet as long as it's needed to ensure we have a stable set of results for this month's league. Here's the link to the spreadsheet for those who don't have it and want to update it themselves

I'll be doing a gentle ride tonight to blow the cobwebs away from the painful race that I had on Zwift Monday ..... will be a warm up ready for the NC2 live race on Thursday Bring it on guys, I'm on your tail and chasing hard

Hi, my group request is still pending (or so Bkool tells me) so I can't see what stage the live race is tomorrow - but I certainly would like to join it live!

Sorry Per, missed this request. You're in now

Tomorrow evening, log onto BSim for 7 pm UK time, and search for a session started by Bill S. Bill starts the session at 7 for a 10 minute warmup, and the race starts off the line at 7:10 pm (UK time). You should see quite a few familiar faces on the start line.

Any questions, post them up here

Day off, of the bike, today.

I'll probably have a go at NC2 tomorrow @ about 5pm. It looks like it's gonna give me a and take me 2 hours .

Edit to add

17km climbing , 10 in one go .

Maybe this should be this

If stage 2 worries you, don't look at stage 4......

@BILL S as the league seems to be working now do you think it's worth asking everyone to do a quick dummy run on stage 1 and adjust their time manually to match the spreadsheet so the league is correct overall? Or not worth the bother?

I thought exactly the same thing Paul. I'm happy to make the adjustments if anyone wants to put in a dummy run using the actual league ride.

I really don't mind doing the spreadspread and it makes me feel useful to the group, it also means that we get results quicker than the at least four days it is currently taking bkool updates to the overall league standings, my Sunday ride has yet register the wc stage or overall results. How about as this is a special month, we do both if it's not too much work for bill, the dummy ride to give us official results and I'll continue to update the spreadsheet to give us quicker updates. This would also safeguard against future bkool update problems.

OK Bill - might be good to do if you don't mind doing the manual adjustments.

For those not familiar with this, what you need to do is select the Stouby Sejet route from your Leagues tab in "My sessions" on Bsim, then just ride it for a minute or so and save the ride. The short ride will then be saved to the league and Bill can manually adjust the time to match your actual time which we have logged on the Keith's spreadsheet.

Keith - thanks a lot for doing the spreadsheet, and if you don't mind I totally agree it would be good to continue with it alongside the Bkool league table

Still the biggest mystery to me is how TB's and Aleman's rides ended up in the league when the league was still inactive at the time they did their rides!

My cat is easier to understand than the workings of bkool, and he's as thick as a brick *hithouse door!

@BILL S cg1 dummy run done, even though today was meant to be a no bkool day!

Coz we're 'Special'
