My moving time tonight as per Strava was 39:14 .... 6 seconds slower than last week Nice and consistent though Need to try and get below 39 mins next week

Here I was thinking that the upgrade would apply to my legs too. Sadly, no such luck. Same old legs. Same finishing time as always. Nothing to write home about really. Need better socks...I’m sure that’ll do it!

I tried to hold you off as long as possible but to no avail

 

[Whorty]

Why, what happened?

He saw I was in the race ..... no one likes to be beaten by a bald fat bloke

 

[Whorty]

Oh Bill - I thought we made a lovely couple out there tonight

Like a loved up steam train as you came past me!

 

[Whorty]

Ha ha - you did well to hang on there. I thought we were going to get to you but you held on

He'll pay with a bigger handicap next week ha ha

Haha We really did Pete. Fortunately for me you waited for me at the top of that first Hill or I doubt I'd have caught you up again. Can't believe the difference my new tyre made. Seemed to be worth a hundred watts or a whole lot more in places. Looking forward to trying to stay with you blue guys on Thursday.

Did anyone else have trouble logging in?

Went out at 5:30 to check everything and all ok.

Then went back out for @BILL S test at 6:40 and couldn't log in. I was about to give up when I managed to log in, but the race had started. I wasn't on the bike, so I'm pretty sure the pedals moved and I started without meaning to, so I decided I might as well just go.

I had no warm up in a cold garage so it was a bit hard going.

I'm not sure if it was all down to Bkool though. It may be a power line problem, so I'd be interested to know if anyone else had problems.

Sorry @gbrown - I've no idea what time I went off at, but it certainty wasn't when I should have!

I had problems too - joined the test ride fine, but couldn't get in the real ride after three attempts. Re-started BSIM and trainer and it let me in.

Download ShutUp10, apart from allowing you to 'turn off' windows updates, it also allows you to turn off all the spying and reporting software that is included with Win 10

You was planning to cycle in the shed! In this weather! Are you crazy man?

Just got back in from the shed, Brisk! Will admit to seriously thinking about moving trainer and bike into the kitchen this evening, but decided to Rule #5

If I had a shed, which I don't, there is no way I'd be riding in there in this weather (OK, I admit it, I think I've been living darn sarf too long )

 

[BILL S]

I didn’t. I feel

Ditto as peterob I was sure we were about to catch you. Trouble was we were hardly catching you by the end. Where did you suddenly find the extra 500 watts?
