I've got a 52-11 but have exactly the same problem on descents...I literally can't go any faster and have to just accept that >I'm going to get dropped. I set myself targets for the top of climbs that I think will be enough to get me to the bottom of the next descent still in contention. For example I wanted 30 seconds on you (and the wolves chasing you down) at the top of the last long descent last night, which did prove to be enough. But yes you have to make the most of it on the sections that favour you to compensate for the parts that don't. I also decide who (usually @AndyMacca ) I have to beat (or a winning/losing margin to them) to get a beer afterwards.

Oh boo hoo. I spin out on anything over 6%, but the laws of nature must be obeyed. And the extra weight I carry around just for this little advantage is worth it. Its hard to work up any sympathy for you powerful climbers and your downhill problems.
Maybe you should join my interval training - 230 calories every 3 minutes for 15 minutes.

Soon I would like to go through the second phase of the November GC. But I realized that in the home of the simulator, the "Championships" section no longer appears.
How can I solve?

Ok, solved.

Each month a new stage appears each week, normally on a Tuesday, so you have to wait for them tobappear. You can do each stage from when it appears until the end of the month.

A cautionary tale......
I don't know how others protect their bikes from sweat or even if anybody else sweats, which would a real downer if it's only me that is turning my cave into a swimming pool on Tuesdays and thursdays but being a cheapskate i use a couple of old towels, one on the bars and one on the top tube.
I have one for the top tube with a couple of press studs to keep it in place but yesterday used a smaller one.
About 4kms into the ride it slipped off and got caught in the front mech. Luckily I could stop pedaling and extract it. Being di2 the mech self adjusted but I had to do a little maintenance this morning. If I hadn't stopped quickly it could have caused irreparable damage,and worse. meant that I would have been dropped by @Brusgaard on a climb!

I honestly thought I had solved it by going to the CycleChat Chain Gang Championship page, selecting each single stage and clicking on "duplicate", which is the command above the "prefer" command with the star symbol. In this way, I now see all three of the remaining races in November in the home of the simulator as "scheduled".
How did I do it incorrect?
If I run them, will they not be valid for the championship?

Unless the session have the cup next to the route name under Sessiones -> Scheduled, it wil NOT count in the league. You can’t copy a future stage in the league and ride it now. So to ride stage 2, you have to wait for it to open Monday. Then ALWAYS start you ride(s) from the LEAGUES section within the simulator. Started from anywhere else, they will not count!

You were very clear. And I thank you!
In fact, I don't see this damn cup.
I was hoping to be able to choose when to ride each of the three remaining races.
I heartily thank you for making me clear.
Bkool is a platform that I know little about.
Fortunately, you are there to clarify everything.
Luckily, if I did the second stage, I certainly didn't repeat it ....

I'm afraid that as Brusgaard said the cup has to be present in the copied session for the ride to be included in the league. I can confirm that your ride of stage 2 was not counted as a league ride and you will need to do it again, after it becomes active (on Tuesday) if you want it to count on the league. Don't worry, it took all of us a long time to understand the idiosyncrasies of bkool, it's not the most I user friendly platform!

Indeed, I would have preferred to be able to choose which of the CCG championship races to do based on my tiredness or freshness. But it's not possible, and I adapt.
I don't know what Google translate translated, but fortunately I haven't done the second stage yet! I was supposed to do it this morning, but luckily you clarified everything for me. Surely, I wouldn't have done it again. For my characteristics, it will be a massacre ...

Is it frowned upon

Actively encouraged, 5pm tonight for the rerun

Only if you promise to tow anybody who beat you during your first attempt. I'll start it with a maximum of two ghosts and two bots.

@berty bassett Forget towing Keith, tow the folks behind and we'll repay you on the last drop as we shoot past him (this offer is subject to terms and conditions and your drafting final benefits may be less than your total contributions).

Video sightseeing mode for me tonight.
