My web hosting company got hacked , apparently from some of my old files that were put on their system 4 years ago so have suspended my account at the moment. It will be back soon, sorry.

Switched from a Windows PC to try it with an iPad Air today, as my Tacx bracket and Wahoo ANT+ key arrived. Was a bit fussy to pick up the trainer, had to try plugging it in and out a few times, but once hooked up it worked very well.

Had a ride around Lake Simcoe and then up Tissington Trail, both great routes, thanks for uploading them. If my first video upload ever gets reviewed I can return the favour and you can try a spin around Somerset.

Aha, I was wondering what happened last night, I bet it was Tacx LOL!!

Tried the league ride last, but it had disappeared from bsim league had to schedule it in my calendar. Can't understand as it had been showing in leagues to ride on 25th but then its gone when you want to ride it on the date.

 

[Darryn007]

Can you see mine now? (I sent an invite if its then possible). My stage 2 has shown up on the league table , but not the ride in Japan although both were done through the group. I think you can see by the symbol next to the ride in your history page.
The league should have a cup next to it and a ride from the group has the crown symbol. Not sure why the japan one has a crown and not a cup though as both were done from the League tab on the BKool software?
Lucky I did it last night actually, I thought we until the next ride on the 2nd to do it, but it must be 24hrs as Pascual explained.

Just put it down to start up issues! next one we will all know what we are doing I suppose haha

Haha yeah I hope you're right.
The only ride I can see in either of the stages is your ride from stage 2. None of mine or anyone else's. In my history page it shows a cup next to my stage 2 but nothing next to my stage 1 ride so I think I did it outside the league. I thought quite a few from our league had done the rides but perhaps they made the same mistake as me. Don't know why I'm not showing up in the stage 2 results though.
Like you say, we'll get it fixed for future stages/leagues.

Ack - so bkool software decided to stop talking to my Kickr mid session, quite annoying but gave me an excuse to go and ride out in the fresh air (and boy was it fresh this morning!).... and the rain which was forecast didn't materialise either.

The HR was still there so my ANT dongle was still working. Perhaps it was an Android issue (I was using my Tablet) but that said, I was able to do a spin down on the phone so the Kickr was still working.

I really want to keep going with the bkool software (seeing as I still have an annual pass) but this is making it harder to justify if it decides to quit half way on me.

I could never get the kickr to work with bsim

I usually had to switch to manual pairing, do a search, fail, switch to auto, fail and then switch back to manual, where it would more often than not succeed.

Rode on the 25th as per the calender, but notice that the lost signal gives x, can only presume that the software thinks the signal was lost during the ride, i didn't ever see this whilst riding. I've had the same thing on both stages now so they aren't valid. Getting a little peaved.

 

[BILL S]

I get the same thing as you Rayvon. I'm thinking there might be a way to manually upload the ride into the listings. Think I read that somewhere so I'm going to see if I can find out how.

Let me know how you get on Bill,

Can anyone else see my attempt? I can see Berty's and Darryn's. Mine is shown above, but not in the classification list. Is this a similar issue to you guys?

 

[BILL S]

Let me know how you get on Bill,

Just read through all the groups/leagues info again but unfortunately what I said above is not the case. However when I entered the league of Tour of Britain at stage 4 as my fist attempt, it did take a few days but it eventually showed in the results.
