    What I did to prepare for Sebring 2017 ---today

    Well the weather here has turned really nasty. Preparing for my training ride LOL, we haven't got snow ploughs here but we got one of these. Expecting 4cm of snow. And now back to the box of boxes My only concern is someone will want to inspect it so they will have to undo a number of...

    The Dry season and probably the best season. All the hotels seem to be pretty booked out this year so it's also the most expensive season. This year is really cold for North America. Expect the migration of snow birds to be the biggest ever.

    Well I guess you could spin with one foot, whilst the other is doing the honor

    Is this for real???? If you used this, I guess you would give your cranks a dose of salts???

    We have to toss a token half way... we could have a secret stash of water somewhere near the 'emmmm big tree'. Here with the crap temperature I have to keep peddling to keep warm, if my heart rate is 140 or less I don't sweat buckets. As soon as the temperature gets past 16c, hydration for me...

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    If I didn't have such good weather, I would love to be on Zwift. Still... if Sebring sets me off on to another weird goal oriented ideal... I might just be tempted. Curved screens are in vogue. What about Microsoft hololens ... could that be used? (I dislike TVs so probably be more tempted to...

    Not sure about this... just don't let me be the guy in front... LOL Joking apart... looking at the weather ... the half litre option isn't going to be feasible with 20c at 10 am. Perhaps I could steal someone else's bottle as I go along. :rolleyes:

    What I did to prepare for Sebring 2017 ---today

    Well not too long to go before I can sleep properly. Seems like I am juggling a lot of balls in the air and opened up the wallet a bit just to upgrade on a few things. So it's going to be titanium this that and the other. Probably another pound lighter. The thing on my mind at the moment, if I...

    Amtrak Anyone?

    I guess if I wanted to get on a train with the Vendetta, all you would need to do is take the rear wheel off. Then if anyone got a bright idea of taking the bike, they wouldn't get very far

    Sebring 2017 newbie

    ahhhh you don't need a wind tunnel, just practice on windy days outside. I am a little upset with my scorecard today. Real crap weather... it felt as though I was being pulled off my seat in just about every direction. And when I wanted to get off the main roads because the verge of the road...

    Did the 30 minutes well ... It was a bit more. Oh well. Did lots of stretching too. That felt better than the ride. As cold as it might be, I did see a few of the trees up close and they almost looked as though they were budding.

    Haaaa Haaaa. That's an idea. Cheaper travel but don't think I like the cold nor the pressure. Oddly enough refugees are so desperate to get out of Syria that they do pack themselves into a box. They're desperate. If anyone wants to create a box ... It needs to be 20cm thick... Then you can...

    I found a great spa quite close to where I live. Nothing like sitting in a great big bubbling jacuzzi ... Now to get back to my box making. I still can't believe that it only cost me €60 to travel the Atlantic ... God must want my presence in Sebring. LOL

    Ditto. After that fall, today was the first big long ride over 3 hours. If you have the right gear on , you don't sweat buckets and you feel comfortable. Since the new year I have reduced my intake of salt. Primarily by stop eating salted sunflower seeds. Something must be working as I have...

    Latex or no latex

    Well I got a new tubeless rim from light bicycle. It's wider than the last so it might be a green light for Sebring

    Sebring 2017 newbie

    If I were to give a pic there wouldn't be a surprise at Sebring. LOL. Let's just say the bike is getting more streamlined than usual. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Tampa sounds good too, I haven't been there for a couple of years. What's Amanda's daily routine like? My brother and best...
