I was led to believe Larry12 is a feckin Skate. Ignore.

Hmmmm! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/nov/18/english-premier-league-sells-china-tv-rights-for-564m-report-claims?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+main+NEW+H+categories&utm_term=200233&subid=18430495&CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2

BTW very much liking Vftt's FB page idea.

This is the reason why we should despise them.

Glad you got it sorted out WS. Going back to your earlier post about difference between a smart and 'dumb' trainer here is a comparison of two different rides. In both cases the first was on a Cyclops Fluid 2 trainer and second with the Kickr Snap. Some interesting differences. 2 Laps of PR London https://www.strava.com/activities/755392753 https://www.strava.com/activities/777267963 This is my go to Autumn intervals ride. https://www.strava.com/activities/763813894 https://www.strava.com/activities/777267963

What are using to control resistance on Zwift WS. I have mine linked to my laptop via Ant+ F EC rather than Bluetooth. The only issue I have encountered was when I turned BTth on on my Edge 520 just to see if it would pair with the trainer and left it on. Once I turned it off and it wasn't receiving on BTth at the same time as Ant+ F EC it worked fine in Sim Mode. This seems to confirm that there is kind of some conflict. Hope you get it sorted out. As you are in the US it might be worth giving Wahoo a call. https://support.zwift.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/205018636-Struggling-to-control-resistance-with-Zwift-and-Wahoo-Kickr-snap-trainer

Let's not forget to some extent we are where we are this season because of him. I think most are capable of seeing this from both RK's and the club's view and that a break was both natural and inevitable. I certainly have no animosity towards him.

Yes WS. This evening I did a session which was 5 mins warm up then 3 x 10 minute tempo intervals with three mins recovery between. This is a go to turbo session for me and was significantly tougher on Kickr Snap than on Fluid 2. HR ten - fifteen beats higher during efforts, fairly and squarely in tempo zone just to keep it above 200 watts. Felt like I'd been a quick flattish road ride to be fair. Av speed similar to same ride on Fluid 2 and power not hugely different from zpower, but just tougher. No hiding place.

Then we'll be in the Championship again you attention seeking cnt!

Just found out why so many cyclists on the road. From Abergavenny to Hay on Way you go over the Gospel Pass, highest road in Wales at around 1800 ft.

Haven't downloaded anything like this for my Edge 520, like the look of the speedo effect. TBH it depends where, how and what kind of ride I'm looking for as to what appears on mine.

Good one WS even with my lame maths that's $480 and at current exchange rates that's just a smidge under £380, so great deal. You can pick them up from various online retailers here for a similar price to the non-discounted US price. I had a £60 Wiggle loyalty discount, but wouldn't take that off the offer price of £473, only off the full UK rrp of £499, however it's a good piece of kit for under £450. Would be interested to know what software you intend to use with it. At present I have Zwift and an annual subscription to Bkool which expires at the end of January. One of the beauty's of the Kickrs is that their third party app support. You can pretty much use anything. Zwift works fine, but Bkool has a few issues which I have yet to resolve. Pairs fine but just doesn't work properly. Anyway no riding this weekend. Spent yesterday in the Vale of Eywas, the eastern most valley in Black Mountains helping our daughter with her with fieldwork for her dissertation. Beautiful spot, plenty of walking uphill, very few people.

And another one wades in.

This is hilarious! http://fansonline.net/portsmouth/mb/view.php?id=665948

Lallana MoM. That'll go down well then.

**** off you tin c u n t!

Worked out that roller could be tightened using an Allen Key. Had one the right size, but was too short to get any leverage with. Borrowed longer one from next door, hey-presto roller tightened so good to go. best of all no return to Wiggle.

Utterly predictable ****e from Glasgow. Now do one!

OK WS. The good news is that the Kickr Snap arrived and I got it set up. The bad news was that to do so I had to give the garage a bit of a clear out. Further bad news was that when I'd got it all set up and given it a trial ride it made an almighty racket that seemed to come from the roller. When I looked at the roller I noticed that it was moving for and aft as well as laterally on its axle/spindle. I could rock the wheel back and forth on the roller also. So contacted Wiggle, going to send them a video and it looks like it is going back.

Not at all. It's just that I find the 'sky is falling in' 'our season is over' mentality that some have rather tiresome. Usually from those that only really post on here in quantity when we lose, as if to simply wind things up. You hit the nail on the head in an earlier post when you said that we went into the season a striker light. Not a lot we can do until January. A reasoned judgement I would say and one based on a bit of thought and not part of some self-centered wind-up/trolling.

LDH making sense for the second time today.

They're out in force this afternoon. aren't they?

Now I don't agree with much that you post on this site, but that is bang on the money.

Anyone else fed up with the barely concealed fascist diatribes and encouragement for misplaced vigilantism in our right wing press.

Ride today with next door neighbour and another guy who'd I'd never met before, but who's coming to France next June. Turns out he's a fellow Saints supporter. Was at SMS on Thursday and is off to Prague in a few weeks. Anyway, that aside, it was feckin cold this pm and the wind was picking up as we rode. Going north towards the A4 from White Waltham was bringing out the 'inner Flandrien' in me. On the front into a decidedly chilly northerly it was hard work. There was relief in the form of a cake and coffee stop at Velolife, a recently opened cafe in the village of Warren Row, which is essentially atop Remenham Hill, so if you are ever riding in that area give it a go. Been three times so far. Chocolate cake is just awesome, carrot cake pretty much on a par but the chocolate brownie does it for me. Anyway, brilliant place, housed in a former pub with a bike workshop within. Starting off after our stop I was as cold as I have been on a bike for a long time. Strava says temp was 4C. Thoroughly enjoyable ride apart from the cold.
