Just Finished the Col De Puy 62:46 - Amazling was able to average just over 200W for the climb - which is probably my hardest effort all year - yeah I know - still a weakling compared to Derek, and many others - but it is what it is - can't expect much if you don't ride much! :rolleyes...

I rode the Col D'Aspin this morning in just under an hour (58:39). Nothing like an hour long FTP test t start the day off. Now I need some Asprin! https://www.strava.com/activities/9455811946

In essense I did MAF training while riding my bike while working (8+ hrs a day), and eating an extrememly low carb diet for about an 18 month period prior to Oct 2022. It truly works. Even with minimized heart function I was able to work up to ride 150 watts (for me at the time at 62kg = 2.4...

Have your checked with Cruzbike? I think they will ship directly to you - or are you looking for a used Cruzbike?

Do you have the same crank length on each bike?

If still in the box, I would see if Cruzbike would be willin to take it back, perhaps with a small restocking fee

Looks like you have most the kinks worked out. If you would have been able to do the exact same ride on your V20 while the conditions were the same, I'de bet you would have a much close CdA. Don't get hung up by the number is my suggestion. I would look at the power it takes to get the average...

Nothing - but thanks for the reminder. I will give him a poke

Haha - Ken you are being too kind. Maybe Derek's time will be blistering - not mine. I finished Cote de Domancy today so I am now done with all 4 of the easy ones. Now the 4 hard ones are left- : Col d'Aspin - 12 km at 6.5% Puy de Dome - 10.5 km at 8% Col du Platzerwasel - 7.1km at 8.4% Col Du...

Yes it is sad - They could not do it this year because the track was not available. I offered to help them organize it utlizing the existing routes, but they eventually said no. I am on the Board or WUCA - I have suggested WUCA ask to organize it in the future - here's to hoping. :)

Great ride Hardy - Not sure if you do this, but I have all my Zwift rides automatically uploaded to Strava - the climb segment will show up in Strava - and all you have to do is send your Strava link to Ken.

Ken, I just rode Cote de Pike: Managed a 13:06 on 205W avg for the climb (I think I saw Connie there) https://www.strava.com/activities/9423896420 Sorry for messing up the thread with daily rides - I'll start sending you and email with my Strava link from now on!

I've decided to tackle them in order of increasig "hardness", so I am going to ride Cote de Pike tomorrow morning at 8am (if there are any takers for riding together) :)

Welcome back, Ratz! Can you innovate me one of these for a V1 Vendetta in my Cruzeum?

Yes, I think I remember a several inch piece of clear tubing the cable rode in. Then I thought: Heck I've got an example in the Cruzeum. Here is my First Vendetta showing how it is set up

I experimented with running a 650 on the rear of a V2 Vendetta. It will reduce you seat angle and possibly your aero. However you will also have to adjust your headrest or else any aero advantage will be cancelled by your helmet catchng more air. My goal for any bike was to make my face piont...

I completed the 2nd of the climbs in Stage 1 this morning: Col de Aravis - time of 20:43 (something to shoot for Ken!) https://www.strava.com/activities/9405375070/segments/3112379769676407856 Definitely a little harder than the Cote De Trebiac I did 2 days ago - this one took me about 5 mins...

You can get QR attachments for the thru axle wheels. Flo sent me a set when I ordered their latest that were default Thru axle and I wanted to use it on my V20 with QR

I just finished my ride of Cote De Trebiac @ 15:57 https://www.strava.com/activities/9392753913/analysis/249/1206 II know I am as weak as I have ever been, but to add insult to injury: that Zwift reports avg power at 177w when I clearly rode each of the 9 segments of the climb at powers higher...

That's probably 1mph right there - non-curved slider probably the other 1 mph. Change those 2 things and I bet you will be much closer.
