LIVING THE DREAM
It is what it is. Ride what you like but don’t be afraid to try a new dish. Just be aware that sometimes a palate takes time to adapt. And that sometimes some things are more palatable with mates. I hate cheese but will always share a pizza.

"It is what it is".
Love that phrase and I use it with my Customer all of the time when we are running late (again).
If I could just work in the cheese and pizza analogy I wood be cooking!

In the Danish Bkool League (http://bkoolligaen.dk) we have a sub-league for all those using more accurate trainers, where you are ranked just as in the normal league. That means that those using Neos, KICKRs, Diretos etc. can compete against each other in that league, but still ride with/against the Pro users in the same race.

Usually around 100-200 riders take part in each race (Tuesday+Thursday and Sunday (usually a lot less riders)), so plenty to play with. The league runs from October til March/April, but is unfortunately only available for Danish riders.
I'm really happy for you @Brusgaard that you have such a great organisation and totally understand why it is restricted,your contributions and the help you give here are one of the reasons I keep bkooling. Hope you enjoy this week's stage in the Chaingang league.

Originally (2-3 years ago) BSIM started to struggle with 60+ riders in one race, so we started with 3 groups. Later versions have no problems with 100+ riders, so we now are now down to 2 groups. and Sundays only 1. But having 10-50 random users from outside Denmark could potentially crash the bigger races, so we password protect them.

Should BSIM improve further, we hope we can all be in one race, but with the current homemade league system it doesn't really matter. But some of us backend group 1 riders would of course have a few more to draft/ride with if mixed with group 2's fastest riders. :smile: I sometimes join group 2, but since introducing the time penalty, it is risky as I would usually end up within the top 10 and then maybe be penalized. :smile: However, if using the Neo neither of those would happen.

Yes, I see you named/dedicated the stage to me. :-) I'll be there tonight and probably Saturday as well. :okay:

Dam it!! I forgot it's a 6pm race now. :sad:
Don't worry I've given you a nice ghost to drop back to if you can't hold on to @AAAC 76C, as I couldn't! And you can then out sprint me at the end, as I was knackered! I thought it was a really good route and will store it away for future re-use.

I meant to say don't try following me as you will get dust in your eye's
I managed to hold you at 20 seconds until about half way then the effort of doing so started to take its toll and you gradually pulled away. I hoped, unsuccessfully, to limit my losses to a minute but at least I put over a minute into dark !
