Not much better, but not much worse either, so I just keep plugging along with mostly Z2/Z3 riding... Trying to do them stretching exercises but not really feeling the benefits?

Tattie scone / potato cake..... Yeah a bit of square sausage and black and white pudding tag team would have finished it and me off.

Tried to get a but of a lead out there so I could vainly try to draft later on the flat. Heart rate went red at end of the downhill and that's all she wrote. You guys were moving along nicely, not sure I can get 20 -30 min form up enough to stay in shouting distance

You were strong at the start. It seemed to settle down a bit after you dropped - my watts average said so anyway.

This getting old shi*t is just no good, takes twice the work to get half as fit.

HR started banging over 184 (my max). Figured I better cool my jets : ( Could just be a low battery in Ye Olde Polar monitor though.

The festivities and a cold over Christmas just took its toll. The flat courses absolutely drain me on Bkool. I go faster going uphill than gradients 0.0 and slopes -0.1/-0.2. It does not let me generate power.
Anyway, excuses over, I bonked. I set myself a target of beating Duckman the last two days and ran out of gas.
That was my last ride of 2023,as it’s my birthday New Year’s Eve and off visiting family now. I would like to thank you guys for letting me join, it is great fun. I look forward to joining you now on the live races.

Thanks for (sort of) riding with us! Are you thinking of upgrading your trainer to something more contemporary in 2024? Will be a much better ride experience for you and make you ride longer and get faster!!

Yes, but undecided. I was going to go for the taco neo 2, but then garmin sent me an email with info on the neo 3. I discussed it with my wife and thought to burn the Bkool out and go for the neo 3.
I just need to get faster to burn it out though.

You could get something like a Wahoo KICKR Core which is loads better than the BKOOL and not nearly as expensive as the NEO3, about half the price I think?

That sounds good, I was looking for a realistic Road feel experience, than the Bkool, but also something that lasts the battering, I have had the Bkool about 9 years😳
