I am not much lighter but don't possess your raw power. I think that I'm on the fast slope to mediocrity being passed 50. I think Lars said for us older riders it's more a battle to hold onto what we have, not so much improve significantly

Quite depressing really. Never knew as a youth the potential

Well, I hit 40 and power and fitness are nowhere near what they used to be. I used to do 2500 sit ups in one go and never really got tired (but then I was 20, 76kg and into rockclimbing and doing them every day).
It's depressing knowing what you could once do...

Thanks Bob - trying to get my head around all this is starting to make my brain hurt and probably boring everyone else too!

Bridgy, I am beginning to think the absurd which is that the pro communicates a proprietary ant to Bsim and ant fec to Zwift/tr. the reality or integrity of slope/transition/slope should be more accurate in bsim than other sim providers yet it clearly is not ! Perhaps the dead stops are the 2 signals merging! Transition and slope accuracy on a Pro are simply much better in Zwift than bsim

Bob that would be comical, third party does a better job than the creator !?

It comes down to how the software is written and excecuted. Obviously the script writers at zwift are better than their bkool counterparts...

@Whorty are you still on for later at 6

Yep, I mentioned that one on the Bkool English - Spiuk Challenge event page as well. Both 1st and 2nd place on stage 8 is not valid, and the fitness level for David/Alex Rawson at place 39 is way off too. Beating me with a 214watt effort, and weighing about 25kg more, doesn't make sense either, except if it was a downhill race.

Brusgaard, you should join the British Team as well, coming from a place called Skive you should fit in well with our ethics.

Sorry guys, not going to do the ride tonight. HID insisted I take her out for a meal today, and I'm sure she insisted i have a couple of beers too. So I don't think a ride would be a great idea

Hi just posted - HID with lunch and beer has resulted in me not being able to do the ride tonight.

But it used to work. I recall getting the pro and being so happy with it and the way the software worked. I don't think it was just a case being naive or blind to quirks. I honestly don't recall the show stoppers like the deadstops etc. Anyway, enough of me moaning.

I'll do the re-run tomorrow with the rest

Hehe, well Skive in Danish is the same as slice in English.

I already proclaimed that I might show up at the Nations Cup gathering in Denmark wearing an old Banesto shirt. Being Danish wearing a Spanish shirt and rooting for the British Team might get me into trouble. :-)

You better had @Whorty - I've been looking forward to seeing you suffer .... er, I mean cheering you on all day... I'll be watching tomorrow...

 

[Bored Man]

Today I spent a few pounds on a new training wheel and 10 spd block, plus a pair of continental 4 season tyres... and I've still got a couple of hundred quid left... and I'm not sure what to blow it on...

Pimp my ride ...Any suggestions?
