Team BKool CycleChat

[BILL S]

Ghosts are all added, but mine doesn't seem to be there for some reason.
Ready to kick off at 5pm for the warmup.

i'm not feeling it at the *moment*
i'll do a warm up and see how i feel.

Don't blame you Breedon, its a pig of a profile.. really tough for those of us who don't do 5% climbs too well..

You could ride at 60% and keep me company

Tommy, after i disconnected my ant dongle I restarted my pc and loaded up bkool to see if it would connect with the neo via BT. No luck. Funny thing is the BT icon is there while bkool searches so fingers crossed i will get it to work when i have more patience but not for a few weeks. Time is too tight at the moment because of work. I also need to do a structured training plan.When on zwift today I used this cable from my iphone and then straight to my tv screen. Worked perfectly and may be of use to both zwift and bkool users.

I mention it in case anyone else might have need of one

Just don't forget us Bob!

To be fair it wouldn't surprise me if you might well see us all on zwift sometime soon. I am still quite attached to bkool though.

I thought we all loved 5% climbs? They're my favourite

Are we doing chaingang or winter cup?

I love my bkool ❤️ and can't be tempted by the fruit of another...... that said, would bkool be the same if @Goldwolfie and @Whorty and Mr Breedon in fact all of you @Team CycleChat weren't involved..? Me maybe thinks not..

Have you checked the BT settings on the PC? My BT worked on bkool sim (by mistake!).

I'm in for the 5pm but have been knocked for six by a really bad cold /flu all week and only just starting to feel better so I don't know how hard I'll be able or willing to push!

Same. Well if you swap flu for sniffles... very tempted to take it steady.

Interesting that Jacob joined the session as a spectator! Cyclechat is obviously getting noticed....

Edit: And a Friend invite... I feel honoured!

What happened to you AAAC and Bill and TT? I was riding with you at the start, then dropped connection a couple of times. When I came back online the second time you were nowhere to be seen - I was showing in first place and there was a couple of ghosts (AAAC ghost plus another I can't remember) in second and third?

I am suspecting you were around but I just couldn't see you as I wasn't going that quick and would be really surprised if I was ahead of you all!

Somewhere between the 10 second countdown and the start I changed plans... I figured I'd just stay at the front until I ran out of steam then use the rest of the ride as a warm down. I got off the bike to open the window wider (sweating like a pig [no offence DP!]) which is when you came past. I think that not seeing people thing is always down to connection which makes sense as you kept dropping in and out.

Great ride all! I thought that course was a pretty good one.
