A state of trance at full blast it is then!

Rather watch a live trance set from some party, so at least something is happening on screen.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the bkool training. I've been using zwift for some time, but was never really drawn. I have limited flexibility with regards to when I can ride - thats why zwift might not really work for me.

In bkool I have uploaded routes which I have previously ridden outside - added a few bots, and voilá, now I have a race. Which is great.
But it left me wandering if it was possible to partcipate in stage races, where you race, when you have the time, but your time is registered against the others - as ghosts. I know it leaves the drafting and racing element out of the equation. But I think it is still very motivating?

I hope I am not writing this in the wrong forum, otherwise, please just redirect me

You could join our league and do the races at your convenience, you wouldn't be able to race our ghosts untill we had done the stage but after the Thursday race they should be there. The ghosts aren't always accurate though and you may think that you beat 1 but didn't!

Did the cc stage 3 so now I'm back on track...albeit slower than before summer it seems. I note that the ghost function is its usual hit n' miss. One has to assume beating a ghost by 10-15 seconds often means you lose with basically the same margin. Well, well...at least my bkool smart trainer still works after 5 years...although it is indeed noisy. Anyway...I think I bought a kick core just now...not sure the store actually has it...but they happily accepted my money...so maybe I'll get a 5 year old bkool trainer instead.

So...game on tonight then!...this time I'll start with the rest of you (hopefully).

Who else is excited for tonight's 23km at 1%?
Torture!

And what would be the race tonight?
Is there a club schedule posted somewhere?
Thank you.

Great news, enjoy the pain tonight.

Thank you.

Tonight is the last stage of the October league,21 kms uphill. Brusgaard normally starts the thursday season so you need to search for him at around 19:01 cet in the nickname field of the filter page on the search facility. Check here though before in case someone else is starting the session.

Ok, clear. Thank you.

Please somebody else start it tonight. I’m not sure I’m gonna be ready to ride.

I have been spending the last 50 min. hanging around the toilet pseudo vomitting after eating a carrot!

 

[keithaitch]

I just started tonight's session to see what it was like and there is no map, very strange.

What is there then?

Just a screen shot of what looks like car lights on the dark which didn't appear to move!

Hope you feel better soon.

I also note that the average and maximum gradient are the same so it's not going to vary at all. This could be the worst stage I've ever selected. Sorry in advance.
