Well it wouldn’t be Sunday without a quote from the bible so...
‘Do onto others as you would have them do onto you...’

Or as Jesus actually said “Everyman for himself mutherfarkers!
Now watch this wheelie acrosss the lake!!”

Ask bob, he was there in 20AD when Jesus said it

I thought I recognised you when we first met
I am calling Judas from now on

as I could (and even encouraged @CXRAndy to work for us but couldn't stay with some of the faster groups I was in once we hit gradients.

Seems like he has a powerful motor, so just let him work for you again next year:

Ignore that speed . It's an anomaly of Trainer Road. It uses the flywheel pick up sensor, it doesn't correlate to normal speed

How about distance and elevation then? It all seems wrong, unless you have ridden a 500km+ pancake flat route indoor.

I think it’s just the power figure that is correct?

Makes a bit of a mess of the strava stats which would annoy me I guess.

I should add, that when I ride in the Bkool Simlulator, the data going to Strava comes from my Garmin Edge, and it of course doesn't detect any elevation changes. So all the Bkool rides on Strava are "pancake flat" so to speak.

Yes trainer road is only concerned with power. I used to be able to save either TR or Zwift rides- I combine both for training, but for some reason recently on TR saves to Strava.

I train with time/power/TSS currently

I heard Jesus got the idea of a beard from bob !
He’s not the messiah he’s a very naughty boy

I'm taking ToC as a social ride. Meet new people , challenge myself to do a century on a SS. Will be stopping for cake We have booked a carer for HID so no need to rush

You'll really like that aspect. I rode with some nice people. The weirdest thing was all of the spectators cheering you on. The first time it happened I looked around to see if I could spot who they were cheering for and then realised it was me!

 

[Randyberlin]

The “A” team. I don’t know who is Mr. T.

If you could only choose 1 between Zwift, TR, Bkool, Sufferfest, which would it be & why?

I saw this a straw poll or are you looking for guidance? If the latter you should say what your needs/ expectations are.

I think Bob has it right.

If you are building performance then trainer road or sufferfest.

Racing ... Zwift

Endurance riding for distance and up and down hills ... Bkool even with its limits ... Can when they haven't edged up the SIM have some good rides.

Climbing BigRingVR without a doubt ...

I've gone zwift and BRVR, but I like long rides over a varied course so may well still end up with Bkool. Especially now that they allow you to take power and speed from external sources rather that the trainer. I just need to try that out properly ... When I tried to detect my sensors it hung my laptop
