Team BKool CycleChat

Going up alp d'huez and I'm getting zero resistance as far as I can tell. This is going well

Probably true, but when someone screams at me I find it hard not to ask them politely through their open window if they would like to step out of their car and have a quiet chat with me. I then give them a big beaming smile Does the trick every time .... they think better of it and drive off muttering to themselves

Did I mention the retired Hells Angel look before.
Have you got some gold teeth as well, that would always to the trick a Hells Angel ginning at you with teeth made to bite ear off.

Your just not use to BKool,
or quickly do all of the SC sessions before it fixes itself

 

[AAAC 76C]

That was not a good idea. SC 11 ans CG 2 back to back. Legs have gone to jelly Still I've put my times up so I'm happy.

Mad fek!

Quite often in the summer there's an ice cream van at the top....

Until DP gets there and eats it all!

Candid shot this morning.

I think upsetting Hells Angels is the safer option and dare I say more sensible.

Given up for the night. In the velodrome it won't let me go into 3D mode saying I need premium subscription. Tried to do chaingang race but it lost connection after a few minutes. It was pan flat so I don't know if I was getting slope resistance or not. Then alp d'huez.... bleh.... I'll try again if the weathers still crap tomorrow.

I knew I had seen you somewhere before

And this is darn right stupid.
Regardless what happened before the cyclist just escalated the problem and almost got himself run over by oncoming traffic.

This is near Richmond Park and in this case the driver needed a talking to.
Any of you guys on this one.
It took me a while to realise who the motorist was using his mobile.

Gold fillings, yes

Most car drivers expect to be screamed at back, they know how to deal with that. Very unnerving when someone smiles at them and calmly asks them to step outside the car for a chat.

But you're right, my 'look' helps

BKool's got a splitter filter now, did you not see that in the update summary?

I like your style, calm authority and establishing control of the situation.
But if you don't look like you could carry out the subtle threat then you could end up in trouble.

You could be on to something there. Maybe all this time zwift have been infiltrating bkool. Purposefully making it as clunky as possible to turn people to the dark side.
Either that or bkool have just mastered the art of self sabotage...

I did a ride on bkool tonight (SC stage) and it was all working fine for me.

Well, apart from the fact I found it pretty hard work! I'm sure it's got tougher since the last update - not a bad thing in itself but a bit disconcerting when you're slower than you're used to!
