Yes you can. When selecting the session there is a slope reduction slider in the 3rd tab. You can't do that on the fly though. It's a whole session or nothing adjustment afaik.

Just ordered this belt. Let's see .....
But does slope reduction work the same as the Zwift realism setting. In Zwift the speed is controlled by the power so changing the realism, assuming you hit the same power, shouldn't impact speed. Never tried the setting in Bkool but I saw that as just reducing the slope from say 10% to 5% hence your speed would be faster. But as i've never actually tried it I'm not sure.
Also, if I change the slope on Bkool and someone joins me what do they get? My slope % or their own? Anyone ever tried this?

, never used it so I don't know 
. I'd just confuse myself and forget to turn it back to where it should be if it was a permanent setting

Same thing with me. Only thing i get involved ipa beer with trainer is that i use it as a recovery drink. Too good stimulant to use other purposes than drink indeedI assumed he meant IPA beer too, and I thought sod that, I'm not wasting beer on the trainer

I rode for the first time in a month today, just the commute to work and back but it's nice to get back on a bike 
I'll probably commute on the bike again tomorrow and then potentially try my first Zwift FTP test on Friday afternoon when I'm done at work. Ideally I'd like it done by the end of the weekend so I can start the 6 week FTP builder training plan on Monday. The main issue I have is I'm away on business for 3 days in week 3 and potentially away on business for 5 days in week 6 which could really screw it up 
I don't really have any options there as I go away regularly - I doubt there'll ever be a 6 week period where I'm not out of the country at some point. How does Zwift deal with this? Can you "fail" a training plan? I don't mind starting it on the off chance that I might not finish it but it would be pretty annoying to never finish one
I don't have high hopes for my first FTP result

You just do the individual workouts which form the training plan, so there is no penalty for not completing them. That being said you'll likely lose some of the benefit by being away, so might be worth looking at trying to do some of the sessions in a hotel gym if possible.
Not around tonight but did a 21km TT last night - different type of effort to a normal race.I'm on the 17:15 10 mile TT race tonight if anyone interested. Cat C. Don't forget, no drafting, so no point in blasting out of the blocks!
By different I mean really quite awful!! Enjoy!
