That is right until Bill ruins my time.
.

Errr.. Yeah. Sorry about that.

49:33????!!!? FFS Bill! Did you set your weight to 1.5kg, then authorise the session! You quite literally, blew me out the water!

 

[BILL S]

Well it did occur to me that you might be reducing your weight any moment, and you'll be wanting to make it count. I decided I better not make it too easy for you. You going to have another go?

See, I don't get it Geoff! Neither Bill nor I have maps of our BKool sessions, nor the altitude climbed. You on the other hand are achieving climbing challenges based on yours. I am using a PC to upload my activity, just clicking on the orange + thingy! then selecting upload activity. Then choosing file and selecting my FIT file that I have exported from BKool!
Am I missing something? Remember I'm pretty dumb!

Am I hell as like? I can't touch that. No way could I make up over 3 minutes, certainly not with these tired legs. I'll let you have that one.

Mines working now, uploading as a fit. I then go to add description and change activity type to workout leaving indoor trainer unclicked and voila, reloads with map etc.

Adam, I select "stationary trainer" (see below) and this stops it recording my ride as a proper one. Unfortunately that means it also doesn't record the height climbed. When I don't select "stationary trainer" I sometimes end up with results I shouldn't be taking from the guys out there on the road so I always just select it.

I do the same as Bill S. I also use VeloViewer and this automatically ignores trainer/stationary rides. You need to alter this in settings.

Thankyou guys! Yep, I see now, it is me checking the stationary trainer box that has been confusing me! And that, my friends is the beauty of this forum.

I'm trying to be good with the cycling spend as I want one of these in the winter sales

At £3900 rrp I'm hoping the sales will be good. I may need to buy the wife a new car to seal the deal.

Ooooosh! That looks nice! I struggle with frame size though at 6'3", don't you? I was quite limited in choice when I went to buy my bike, just to get a comfortable fit.

Rick, next time you are on the trainer please can you try and pedal down http://www.bkool.com/bkoolSessionHistory/showSessionSummary/1113688 at 5 mph and 10 mph and see if it will let you.

Only need to do it for a few minutes, to the -10% bit perhaps.

If you could save the session I'll compare it with mine, then chase Bkool to prioritise the issue.

Thanks,

Geoff

Will do Geoff. Will have that sorted tomorrow evening.

Thought I'd have a crack at the new live Chaingang run tonight, went about a mile, flat out, grinning like an idiot at the red power gauge, then hit the proverbial wall, and it all went to ****! So did some lack lustre HITS in the Velodrome instead. Now off to bed feeling very bushed!

Just checked, I have my weight set at 81kg on BKool, and I am actually 79kg. I haven't looked at my weight in weeks, so I will check again in a week, and see if I am settled at that weight before tweaking anything on the BSim.
So a bit fatter than you actually Kipster! Stuck between a rock and a hard place now, as ideally I would like to be about 85kg, but not for the Turbo.....the dilemna is, do I stay looking like vegan Moby and get up virtual hills quicker, or tuck into a few pies, look healthier and hand Bill a bigger lead?

Pies every time!

Your new Avatar would suggest the same, lol!
