Hi all. Long time no talk. Just wondering if you guys are still on bkool and still running league races? I see there's some bargain priced tacx neo's to be had and new trainers like the zwift one. Tbh I'm putting on too much weight these days and thought the most fun way to tackle that might be to get a new turbo trainer.

Yes, probably the last month of this period with more people managing to get out at night now. Would be good to have you back

Dude!! This is a dream come true. If you really are fat and slow you can join me at the back. Otherwise both @<Tommy> and @berty bassett have just come back between their exotic vacations and are riding in the front with all the fast guys. Its a very tight group.
@Brusgaard and @shimceltic have done a crazy goid job of mixing up stages to even out everyone's abilities.
Sounds amazing Randy! I'd be honoured to join you at the back so it seems all I need to do is decide which trainer to get and the fun will commence for me. I could try to hook up my old bkool turbo but it's probably best I just get a new one. Do you gents all have tacx neos and wahoo kickrs? Anyone got the Neo 2t? I'm thinking probably not worth it as twice the price.
I guess there might still be a few turboing in the summer months. I hope to be one of them. Might just need a bigger fan.

It was a non-T, and I’m not sure the 2T have the same failing PCB.

Neo2t with motion plates. I like it.

Bkool seems to have made things worse, again, with their most recent update. I challenged @shimceltic, added a couple more ghosts and set the date for today. When I opened the ride I was alone and, as I was unable to switch off real weather, had to do the ride in semi darkness! Shame, but still good exercise!

I did week 2 tonight on the update, didn't select any ghosts and I liked the graphic showing the remaining elevation.

Bill!
Great to see you here, hope you’re well. I picked up a little injury which is keeping me from racing but hopefully I’ll be back in a few weeks to race with you.
I had the Tacx and then I got the Tacx neo bike which is the same thing really but in bike form. I’ve been happy enough with both of them and would recommend them both. But I think they’re all pretty good really. Maybe the power readings vary slightly but I assume not by much. Not compared to the old days.

Bill,
Good to see you back. Does that mean a meet up for some Richmond park laps are a possibility? I hope so.
I have a reconditioned OG NEO , not the 2T , available for a fair price. Been checked over by the turbo doctor too and all working nice and smooth. Pm me if interested and even if not then for RP laps.
