Yes, I have been coughing up gunk for the last couple of days. And on top of my already p!ss poor form, it was just a matter of time before I would run out of steam on that longer 8% section.
I really miss a simple message system in BKOOL, so I could tell you to go earlier. It works great on the big Z.

Yeah - can't be bothered typing mid ride but a simple system of CTRL+ shortcuts would be great. E.g., CTRL+F - I'm f***ed, off you go.

Stage 1 right close by our ski place in Vermont. Hilly all through there and tons of great gravel, mountain and road riding. Couldn't catch the lead on a TT but felt good, just need a tow to improve a bit.

Think we should suggest this to BKool dev. Perhaps CTRL+D could let them know current prod deployment still lacking whenever something wonky pops up.

No improvement to my coughing, so will not be riding today either…

I'm still down with something also.

@Brusgaard @shimceltic hope you all feel better soon. I recommend that knarly Dutch skating liqueur for killing any and all germs, and if it doesn't you won't care that your sick.

Is this a cycling forum or the doctors waiting room 😁
It does seem there’s a lot of lurgy about this year and I am doing my best to dodge it so far as once it gets you it seems to have a knock on effect - so to all you who have been nobbled by ailments , speedy recovery
Haven’t been on bkool recently as I’ve got the shed set up for atv and it’s a ball ache to change it to computer and then it seems like there’s always something to update and gamble on every time I turn it on. Think they are missing a trick not making an app but also think it might be the final straw for the tech team and they might just spontaneously combust

it looks like Its on Apple tv now! No need to get the Spanish inquisition involved.

Edit: sorry that's the fitness app. Can you mirror your iPad to the apple TV?

Looks like stage 2 is also an alpine stage in your backyard @Duckman . There was definitely an ALT+D going on with @Brusgaard 's route curation process this month.

Always fun to have some new toys! I'm away this week on a parental visit so over-fed and under-exercised but I'll be back for Thursday and hopefully a fully fit peleton.

@Randyberlin not forgetting you wanted to hear some of my music stuff. Working on a bevy of things now that I retired on Jan 1. Studio up and running and sound cloud account functional. I'll give a heads up when I'm ready to offend yer ears with various bits and pieces.

A few effects pedals there. Can't wait.

Edit: Leo made you a beautiful guitar.

@Randyberlin Warning - short crazed gear slut rant ahead.... those are for my weirdo live rig which uses a modded Fender Blues Jr for distortion, coupled to Vox AC4 with Alnico Blue vintage speaker playing fully clean, and bass of the three lowest guitar strings going into an Aguilar bass rig. Sounds strange but tonality is really good. Recording I use all software amps as the things I like I can't afford, and I can create a bit heavier duty version of the live rig.

I have no clue about music apart from if it sounds good I'll listen. Get it posted here. Also any 80ish bpm will do to help the cycling.
