1470 !!
never ever hit anything like that i am sure
personally i don,t think that bkool units all give the same readings either - and i am not that sure they give the same readings in themselves
i know sometimes mine gives me an easier ride than others
not being a techy i can only guess but the distance the magnet has to travel to make life harder is so minute i don't think they are up to it
i loved it when we were all racing and we all had a nemesis we used to come close to and it would be fantastic to get them days again just dont think it will happen on bkool units

I think you are right about power on the units varying. Lack of a calibration routine is perhaps an indication. Doesn't mean AAAC isn't the strongest- he clearly is! - but that the closest and most satisfying racing is undermined. Strangely this doesn't bother me in Zwift.
I think we will get those days back again but in Zwift

Anything prior to xmas 2016 should be erased from history

You can keep the Pretzel one though

My bad luck continued over the weekend when I partially dislocated my left shoulder I have looked up to the sky and exclaimed "enough is enough!" though I doubt anyone is listening. It's happened before though not as easily as it did this time. I am starting a regime of exercises to strengthen the shoulder area. So no ftp builder or racing this week but steady state rides so I don't lose fitness. It's bloody annoying given knee is almost back to normal. Anyway, I am sacrificing a neighbours pet tonight in the hope it will improve my luck. Though I will probably post in the morning about cat claw marks all over my face or something

This wasn't after I told you to do press-up s?

Seriously though if you can do press up and shoulder press, then it will aid stabilisation of the joint in the long run

Andy, it was! I can do 8-10 normally so NOT so weedy after all I had been doing resistance training also. Physio thinks I must have knocked it a bit when hit by that car so weakened and may also explain the shoulder and neck pain I had on the bike in France. This run of bad luck must end!

Whilst you're resting Bob, I've given you a couple of little extra challenges to ponder over

You really are going for it Andy! Well-at least you are on the shallow ascents Seriously, very impressive. Even if they did leave you a bit tired for the steeper bits

One can only defy gravity for so long, even if it is only virtual gravity
