It's just that your weight had changed slightly, I've accepted it and it is showing now.
Geoff
Cheers... Yes I have dropped a couple of pounds in the last week or so. Only another 50 Ilbs to go, lol
Thanks, totally messed up the start thoughWell done to LB for clocking the fastest bkool time ever for this ride.
I guess I had the advantage of real shitty and cold weather (= fresh legs + no overheating) here on the devil's island, as the mainlanders like to call it.
Never had one Bill, keep meaning to get one. Drip with sweat, shorts are ringing wet and always a puddle on the floor of sweat that is....

Just working on the video, unfortunately I missed the the dash for the finish by Monte and Bill as when Rick crossed the line the classification screen blocks the view and I had to leave the session and come back in again to remove it. By then you guys had crossed the line yourselves. Need to remember when watching someone to switch who you are watching just before they cross the line! Perhaps I should report it to Bkool?
Randy, I notice from the video that your readings are all showing as padlocks, you must have some privacy settings that the rest of us do not have?
Also, I noticed you do not get pedalling at the start for quite a while. Don't know if you know, but when you join an ongoing session you don't have to stop pedalling. In fact, it's probably best to get pedalling flat out before you join!
Rayvon, I also notice that your speed drops to almost zero several times. Are these Bkool glitches?
I'll try and get the video published in the morning. The long tussle between Monte and Rick is quite entertaining.

After Rick and Bill said they couldn't write insults on the road because it was locked out I went in and looked at my settings in both the Bkool and the Bsim and set everything to as public as I could. I'll double check again. The slow start was me all the way. I use a laptop with an HDMI port and have to shove the port in after I hit enter because the curser doesn't quite line up on the TV well enough to click with any certainty. I will blame my poor performance on that. Really I tried to catch Monte too hard too soon and burned out. It must be tough for you to watch when you know you would have been right in that photo finish. But don't jump the gun. Take it easy for the month. Even play it up. Tell the wife you could really go for some ice cream but it's too far to the fridge... That kind of thing. Again a big thanks for this league.
Looking forward to the video...it must of been entertaining to watch. Being honest (and no excuses I promise) I was on some tired legs as I went out for a road ride on Wednesday but I will admit to probably my hardest training sessions. I ran out of legs on climb and quite rightly Rick took full advantage when we hit 6%, however I dug in deep and then the sprint to the finish I very nearly passed out and threw up. I literally went outside and put the hose pipe over me for 5 minutes, lol.
Thanks again & looking forward (in a strange way) to next week's chain gang.
Bill, if I manage to get under 15 stone I might try some of your mountain goat stuff.
Many thanks Carlo

Top effort Monte - You've better legs than me! have to say I wasnt just THAT knackered after it!
If you get the weight down i wont be able to touch you at all! I cant get lower than 13st 11pds currently - keeps yo-yoing up near 14 and then down again.
Also, looking forward to the video and as Randy has already said, thanks again to Geoff for all his work in keeping us motivated!
I managed to join for the finish but completely forgot about the chain gang until it was well underway.
I've had a lazy week as I managed to pick up a saddle sore on Sunday's ride, never had one before, really uncomfortable. It's just about cleared up now, I tested it with a short ride yesterday, so now I've got to get into my training schedule properly.

They are in the training plan
