That looks pretty good to me!
A little movement for gentle efforts and a more significant amount when sprinting.

What happened with Bkool? I remember a lot of you using it years ago, but then I hid the indoor cycling forums. When I looked back in here a few months back it seemed that it is mainly Zwift now.

Sorry. I was being a smartass. This forum is a group that split off the Bkool forum. ( https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/team-bkool-cyclechat.144689/page-4530#post-7344377 ).
Please disregard the above post.
Edit: I do ride in Zwift also. Just not that often. Mostly Rouvy and Bkool with Training peaks. The king of multi platforms is @Brusgaard

I see what you are getting at, but I am still curious about Bkool; it seems that at some point while I wasn't looking in it here it ceased to BeCool!
It still hasn't transferred to ATV else I may have signed up for the odd month.

Yeah I wouldn't mind trying BKOOL but the lack of an app for ATV means it is down the pecking order
It went through a long period of providing huge advantage to its own Bkool turbo and dis advantaging every other trainer on the market. Then there were endless software bugs which made riding on the platform extremely frustrating to say the least.
Then many moved over to Zwift, which had its own, albeit tiny issues.
Zwift had the big numbers of riders, so there was and is always someone to compete against.

I did the second half of my HERD Omnium series today. It was bloody hard 3 races over 2 hours.
I've destroyed my vELO, but at least I got some TSS

I saw some of your events, you did look to be suffering

Glasgow was evil and then I was toast. But I finished.
If I'd known it was going to be quite that horrible I might not have done it, but I like to finish what I start, if I can. And I just about could

Bit annoyed with myself. Needed to do a 90+ minute ride on Sunday (and wasn't going outdoors again after freezing my extremities off on Saturday's ride) so I looked at the long route for Tour de Zwift. Zwift Hacks suggested I hadn't done that course (Snowman) and while it wasn't ideal terrain for me, having the trifecta of Mayan, Itza and 2nd half of the Grade back-to-back, I thought at least it'll cross off a badge and I might have some company for the ride.
Crossed the line after 1h 34 of struggle, but didn't get a course completion bonus for some reason. Then checking on Strava, it says I got a PR for the course. Turns out I had already done it six months ago, but it was such a horrible experience I'd put it out of my mind completely and not ticked the box for a completed route.
Looking back, I can understand why. My first attempt was a race where a grand total of three people turned up. Two in A, and me in D. The only time I saw either of the other riders was during the first half mile! At least on this occasion there were over 400 riders present, even if most of them were overtaking me.
