Team BKool CycleChat

I have a laptop too so it’s no problem really. It’s just that the Apple TV is set up at the moment and I’m inherently lazy!

That’s frustrating Randy. I feel obliged to try Rouvy, as @berty bassett goes on about it nearly as much as he goes on about all the imminent alien invasions! I still have a big ring vr subscription too. I haven’t used it much though, do you?

you do realise that in all the invasion films , its the Londoners that get zapped first

Get the bkool set up on laptop and come ride/race....

Cheers Shim I think I will. I’m trying to put miles in at the moment rather than race as I’m just trying to get a bit fitter for the summer cycling. But no reason why it shouldn’t be on bkool.

😁

Wouldn’t be much of a film if they just went around zapping sheep would it!

The racing side is small now, just come and set your own time and another name will be on the leader board! I'm fitter in winter as there is not much to dom summer comes and a beer after work on the patio becomes more appealing...

This Thursday looks like a great one to join. Rouvy like augmented reality

Also looks flat..... Till the end!

Using a tablet or phone? Try tilting it. Most of this old BKOOL-website has problems when not viewed in landscape. They promised a new website soon... back in 2021...

That's the view I used to get, but no longer. Find it easier (or at least I did) to do my planning on my desktop, and then use the laptop connected to my TV for the actual ride. Perhaps it's the latest Windows 11 update playing up that's causing the issue.

Good ride @shimceltic! I put in as much as I could. Chain faff on a hill let you oveetake I am sure you would have finished ahead regardless. Well done.

 

[shimceltic]

Only 38s between us. Maybe in a live battle we would have pushed each other but I was happy with my time and beer and pizza after!

 

[Rod McG]

It may have been very close. Before my chain faff you were 25 s behind, and after 10 s ahead. Without the faff it would probably have been the sprint that would have made you the winner! Better fun when it's a proper race. Looking forward to Thursday.

Tomorrows stage doesn't look that bad now I can see it in the sim. I was hoping it was a flat flyer then a massive ramp to finish. Looks a lot less steep now so it's probably going to be a quick one.

And I'm working out of town. It should be a fun one with you guys so evenly matched. We need to get @<Tommy> and @berty bassett into the mix.

I downloaded all on puter last night - only took it 25 miles on Rouvy to finish downloading ! Then number 1 son came in and said I could stream from Mac to atv 🙄 - you will be pleased to know I am still a buffoon ! But legs work ! A bit

 

[Rod McG]

Be aware that there is a BKOOL update. It took me some time to re-link the trainer after, so don't cut it too fine tonight!

 

[berty bassett]

hopefully I will try things out tonight - as long as these 2 calm down
