I don't see how you guys did that faster than me. At 200 pounds and on 50/12 gears I was spinning out most of the way.I could compare it to the real world but no way would I even try to pedal at 35mph.

I was on a 52/11

With a climb coming it's only temporary but I'm recording this moment anyway. 😄

I hope one of bkool’s new features is not not uploading to strava

No that bit seems to work ok, the only issue I think I've had with it was at the Strava end where my HR watch records the same ride data and so Strava favours the data that arrives first and discards the late one, which is typically Bkool, simply fixed with a manual upload though.

Bad news @shimceltic with the Canaries added to the quarantine list, still just means 14 days of intense turbo training when you get home!

My neighbours told me I should get a new trainer. I assume it is not because of concern for my current training load, nor that they think I deserve to give myself a treat in these days of gloom...but probably because of the noise from the 5 year old bkool pro.
Those of you on the kickr core - noice ok? And, will I be faster? To improve speed I generally find that new socks is the best option, but in this case maybe I'm wrong...

Agree about the new socks, a new pair of Castelli Corsa Rosso usually give me and extra 20-30 watts. My new kickr core is brilliant in many ways and so quiet that my wife who is paranoid about disturbing the neighbours has been using it in the flat in Barcelona where we have neighbours on all sides and above and below. She usually uses it on a Thursday evening about 19:00........ooops another secret revealed!

I would, but my son plays football at 11 AM and by 6 PM I will be well into a beer or three, as the new government restrictions are not in effect before Monday.

What restrictions are you getting?
