Leader board will be smashed with these 4 top dogs working together

So far they look to finish after both you and @TheCave. Rob was dropped at that 8% section where I backed off Thursday.

All done boss - but something was amiss - I was doing 300w ish at points but it was showing 4.1 w/kg what’s not right - if it has changed weight somewhere when updating feel free to disqualify , I didn’t have a hr anyway as I left it turned on last time . I did check my profile and says 64kg in there 🤷‍♂️ there was a bloke riding with us who was certainly better and although I tried not to draft him , it happened a fair bit , it was a good tussle at the beginning and you could tell if you lost a wheel it would cost

Once they dropped the excessive bagage, @David CA and @berty bassett worked well together and finished around the 50 minute mark! So, once again I was right on the money with my (Thursday) guestimate!

 

[Rod McG]

Just go as hard as you can and if not sure go harder.

Thanks, I must try that sometime!

Don't worry about it, it's happening to many bkoolers. I'm in a telegram group with a bkool technician and this was his response:
Yes, it is a bug that has been detected in the latest update. Correction is already being worked on.

 

[David CA]

Thanks @Rod McG for starting. Funny race, I wished the four of us had gone together longer, but it was not possible.
I hope to ride with you in two saturdays.

Good ride tonight. Couldn't hang with @berty bassett and @David CA on the longer climb and then got chased down by the ghost of Cave and @Rod McG. Good to be back and free of bugs & vaccinations and crap.

 

[TheCave]

😅 You’ve definitely got bragging rights at the moment to be fair.

We (spurs) have got Wolves tomorrow and then you guys the week after. How about that for timing!

Perfect timing 👌

 

[Brusgaard]

I’m not riding Thursday, so someone else please start it. No rerun Saturday, as it is a new month/league.

 

[Duckman]

@Brusgaard Legs feeling any better?

 

[Barbes66]

I'll try and make it tomorrow if there's no Saturday. What's involved in doing the start? Is is simply a case of finding the right ride then jumping on at 6 to get the timer started? Or some additional Bkool weirdness?

@Brusgaard Legs feeling any better?

Not really. Did a race Monday, backed off at the first/only longer uphill section, and then joined a 60 year+ rider until the finish some 10 km later. In hindsight, riding was stupid as I was limping around the office the next day in pain.

So, staying off the bike the rest of this week (at least). Going bowling, drinking (free beer and wine) and what not on Friday - hopefully the leg survives that! At least I have a somewhat valid excuse for not dancing!

Bowling without drinking is like water skiing without a boat. Good ploy for the dancing avoidance though. Hope things come back together after wee break.

Click the "Go to my activity" top left and select the league ride. Toggle "Warmp-up required" and click New session. Then you just wait for people to join... Do this as close to 6 PM as possible, and write here if you are more than 2-3 minutes delayed!
