OK, if we want to do a Handicap Chain Gang tomorrow, I suggest we do the PE stage from last month (30 minutes to an hour) and use a 90% handicap to give the poor buggers starting at the back a chance to catch the early starters (who have a much better chance of improving their times. I think the session will be more fun if the starts are close enough to make sure people close up together towards the end, but not so close as to make it obvious the fast boys will always come out on top.
So how about ...
We need to be fairly sure about the first person off, so the handicaps can be based on them, or I'll start the session in their place and quit once one or two others are under way, and rejoin in my proper place.
Can people please indicate if they are a definite yes, no or a maybe, for either Thursday and/or Saturday, and if anyone who didn't do it last time would like to, I'll work out a handicap some how.
Pretty sure this should result in around 10 people finishing within a minute or so of each other ...

Bob, that's great, have you done the pe course?
I see you're Active 3 and around 3.4 Watts/Kg.
How about just ahead of me and just behind Blueface? Do you think halfway between us at 15:35 should be about right?

Just a bit puzzled and I wondered if anyone could help.
When I got my BKool trainer about three weeks back just about the first thing I did after setting it up and getting the premium sub was to import a ride from my Garmin. Set it all up using 3D world and rode it. I was trying just now to import a more recent ride but there seems to be no option to convert it into 3D......map only.
Am I missing something here? There must be something because I obviously successfully converted my original ride to 3D but I'm blowed if I can find it!

Bkool do the 3D conversion, sometimes very soon after you upload, sometimes they take ages. You can only upload it to 2D and/or video and wait and hope for the 3D!

Dont think i've seen a button to convert to 3D. I've uploaded a couple of routes that weren't converted to 3D and one which I used Bkool's app on the phone to record the ride with which seemed to be instantly converted. (That was a mouthfull)
If you find it let me know.

We can always adjust the Saturday handicap depending on what happens on Thursday! Just to try and get the finish closer ...

I wonder if they favour routes done with their app over GPX type uploads, or if they have some pre-processing in their app?
I'll try and grab a route with their app sometime and see what happens when I upload.
