It's hard to believe it is actually 2o17 now! 6 weeks from yesterday we'll all be at Sebring! Almost time to taper - the older you are - the more taper you are aloud to take! :D

Saturday Dec 31, 2016 was a busy day! Hauled my KICKR, V20, bunches of seats, pads, tools, and misc parts up to my LR. Set up a 2nd TV on the coffee table to watch Zwift, so I could watch the bowl games on the main screen above. Built a shorter V20 headrest (cut out 1 1/2" of the height...

Wonder - where it grabbed the most coveted activity - I certainly would have picked something else than 2nd in the UMCA Century - (Like first UMCA 12-hour World Championship. haha) https://2016.strava.com/en-us/share/2099672

First step - I just cut 1 1/2" out of the "upright section" - This is to mostly account for my head bring lower on account of taking the 3cm of ventist pad, plus I have always felt the headrest was a little "tall" for me. What I really wish I could do was move the far back curved section about 1...

Sorry about that. I was in the through lane. The truck was stopped at the "T" trying to pull out left. He would have seen me looking left. He either did not see more or drastically mis-judged my speed. . It certainly looks like you are getting a bum rap. When is it the cyclists fault for just...

Here's my velo-viewer one - can't seem to get the Strava one for some reason? It's about 750 miles lower than Strava total distance - not sure what it up with that?

Yesterday I do some LSDonZ (Long Slow Riding on Zwift) and also worked a little on seat cushion reduction and head-rest lowering. 1 set for 3 hours - IF 0.58 for 99 TSS points. HR avr 126 - max 141 1 set for 3 hours - IF 0.47 for 66 TSS poitns. HR avg 120 - max 143 That's 6 hours in the seat ofr...

Yesterday I started the day at 6'sh with an easy 75 minute spin at 130watts or so. This was nice and relaxing after my 2-hour session yesterday at .91 IF. My plan for this weekend was to ride a 12-hour "Sebring practice" session either Friday or Saturday, but with the wife going to visit her...

Elliot, First I hope that you are OK. Second - This very same thing happened to me about 20 years ago. The cop (who turned out to sympathize for some reason with the drive - my first strong experience with strong ethnic bias against me) said I was at fault. Either extreme bias or a police...

Fantastic! Hey - I'll wear a wig and a a tight pair of cycling shorts if they'll let me join their group! :eek::D:eek:

Yes - My poor Garmin Vectors look like I used them as a anvil! haha Of course if you fall on the right side (I've done some of each!) - then you end up skinning up your FD - so far, mine keeps working though, but it also looks pretty rough! Says a lot for the di2 system however - kind of like a...

I can certainly relate David - even at 50kph! - Glad you are ok!

I'm deviating "just a little" from Ratz's training plan this week, but still trying to pack in the required intensity intervals, which are probably the most important followed closely by long endurance ride. I'm doing this partly because I already messed it up riding that 2-hour killer hill...

If all you have is a PC and 1 ANT+: Isn't another way, just to "build" the TR workout in the the Zwift workout creator. That's what I do most of the time - and then run Zwift in ERG - using either KICKR power or P1 power. But today I just used had the TR workout on my laptop to glance at, and my...

Yes - I noticed the same affect - It did not really impact the power that I was putting out, it just let me spin at 90 rpm instead of 40 (which would have eventually caused me to blow up!)

I rode 90 minutes today in recovery mode since I over-cooked it on Monday. Tried to keep my wattage at 130 and HR around 100bpm. They only way to really do this in Zwift is to be in ERG mode however - otherwise - you want to chase down everything that passes you! :) Tomorrow I'll go cooking...

That would be awesome - but man - you would not want to have to ride it up Signal hill. It would just kill people on the flats though if they calculated the CdA correctly! But - it would "look" so cool just to see it going down the road. I was in the beta group for a little while and did suggest...

It's partly called age (as in old age - haha!), but more correctly, it shows that Jason is way stronger than Larry, and that Larry has to work harder to keep up. My heart has to beat more times more each minute just to keep up with you! haha. ............. Here is the comparison of the last 0.6...

Well instead of riding the 1st ride of the week "Tunnabora", Jason coaxed me into a "gentle" 2hr rider around Watopia. Haha - It was anything but gentle - 2 trip around the "Mountain-8" course. NP of 231 for me. I found out I could not climb the 14% grade with 38x26! haha - I just about died -...

Cool pics Jason! It was pretty fun - 1st time I ever dropped a chain on the KICKR thought - probably because I've been too lazy to switch my KICKR cassette to 11sp - still have the 10sp that came with it 2 years ago. And of course - I'm riding with 11sp- di2! Yeah I know -- lazy - but most all...
