Your time has appeared Paul, well done! You made it to the top without selling out for an increased rating!

Don't know about you Paul but I generally need a days break between fast rides even if its just a slower ride in between. I think the D'Huez ride is sill available on Friday or Saturday perhaps.
That elite riders ride doesn't seem possible at 9 watts/kg. Is that not even above a TDF riders performance which I thought was more like 6 watts/kg?

Its good to have a bit of recovery between fast rides. I'm finishing work early tomorrow so will do d'Huez before I eat, and I'm off Friday so depending on how I feel I may rest or do the chain gang, I'll watch your times with interest. Hitting the tarmac on Saturday with the club so probably wont be able to make the weekend rerun either. Next week I'll organise my time better and do the goat ride earlier in the week.

Favour please - could someone guide an idiot (me) how I find the rides and they get automatically included in the leaque, I would like to do Alpe D Heuz Friday, don't want to do the climb and not have anything to show for it, lol.

Not sure if there is a cycle chat ride tomorrow evening or not but I've agreed to ride with a mate tomorrow - is there any plans for a ride over the weekend ?
Should be one on Saturday evening, usually is. It will be mentioned in here either way, so just pop in and check, hopefully see you there.

When in BSIM you should see the ride under Leagues?

Go to your BKool simulator, and go to the LEAGUE tab. As long as you enter the session from there it will register.

How slow, and poorly presented was my response in comparison to your PowerPoint presentation Kipster???

Another question (sorry) how do you put the course in the leaque section. I can see this weeks ride in there but not Alpe d Heuz ?

Definitely a Chain Gang tomorrow night, 7pm warm up to start just after the 2 minute count down is reached!

A rerun generally on Saturday at 5pm, if there is any demand for it. Perhaps as we get into the lighter evenings we may have to rethink this time, as people may be out getting weekend rides in?

I would encourage anyone who can to try the Chain Gang sessions when everyone else is doing them, the additional fun and motivation of the group sessions is great, and the more the merrier (plus the drafting makes you faster).

Kipster, it's ideal for getting moved up to Active 4 or 5!

The Alpe d'Huez stage is marked to be live until the 12th, which usually means around 10pm on the 13th, so should be good until Friday evening (just), although I can't vouch for Bkool's consistency with dates and times.

When I schedule the sessions, whatever date I put in it immediately takes a day off, but then doesn't start or end until the following day (around 10pm) thereby following the date originally specified. I guess it's the same for Bill. I think they are mis-applying the time difference and instead of starting at 0:00 on the date specified, they subtract one hour to get GMT and hence show the date before. However, why it actually starts and finishes around 23 hours later is beyond me.

For the Thursday\Saturday multi-user chain gang sessions, do not start your own league session from the league tab, as you will then ride on your own, or split the field between multiple sessions.

If you are joining a scheduled Chain Gang session, 7 pm on a Thursday or the re-run at 5 pm on a Saturday, look for the session on the Live Tab, with the league marked under the name, and with Me and/or Bill waiting on the line. You may have to use the filter and under advanced put "chain" or "gang" to ensure it shows up under the live tab (if there are too many other sessions running).

Hey Monte, Just looked to see if you were in the Goats, but saw your pending request to join, so you're now in.
That means the Alpe d'Huez ride should be in your leagues tab now. I hope. If not, follow Geoff's instructions.
