It's now possible to embed strava rides just like you tube videos. and you get this.

New house was spec'd for serveral things; No HOA, Dead end street for Cruz Class, and 3rd garage for Bikes and room for a garage heater expansion. In other news PluckyBlond was out for the maiden voyage, engine was complaining about training fatigue; so she just goes out and knocks out a Strava...

I did a whole bunch of things that need to photographed and shared. but the money shot is this one:

Ok that's concerning; and it's unfortunately not so uncommon in athletes over 40-45 that engage in long efforts. If it happens once or twice and you actually feel fine during it; then it's probably a loose heart rate monitor strap. If it happens with the side affects you describe then it's...

While things like this are in development and debug this is a fine place for them. If they are stabilized and commodity that are consistently available to buy from an individual, then I, Lucia, Robert, etc can move the thread to the for-sale area and pin it to the top. While I don't speak for...

IMHO bonk gets incorrectly co-oped and overused; to mean low blood sugar below a level the athlete is accustomed to; you can bounce back from low blood sugar. If you've known someone that is clinically hypoglycemic then you get a feel for the the rapid onset and rapid recovery that goes with it...

The audio book is great free laughter. The more roadies you know the more you'll be entertained. You win like larry or cross a state like Lief we give you a pass on 95.

Marteau did pretty good on her first outdoor test ride. I probably would have too if I hadn't got my water levels wrong. http://www.strava.com/activities/547377897

Did that a bunch today.

Installation was a breeze; adjustment was a breeze. Road it to day on the inaugural road ride. Squeaked a little under heavy heavy efforts. I had removed the rubber sleeves from the head rest to make it all work super super easy. I'll probably put the sleeves back in with dish-soap to get them...

A lot of time the 1 handed thing and no hands for that matter is all about core trunk strength; that's where the balance comes from. One handed is always harder each spring going from the trainer to the open road. After 20+ rides core strength comes around and my balance gets a world of better...

That why when people tell me I'm not allowed in the Velominati with a recumbent. I just smile and say "The only rule for a purest is #5, so apply it and shut me up if you think I'm wrong." About 15 seconds pause and I get a big smile on and a pat on the back "oh you are rule by 5 guy" and I'm...

Marketing fooey as far as I know. The Rotors are 10/11 speed compatible the date from the era of 11sp. The SRAM are stamped 10 speed; and I have never had a problem running a KMC 11SXL chain on them; and that's with a waxed chain. As far as I recall 11sp chains are actually thiner on the...

I've got some SRAM 34T rounds you can just have. they are listed above for 8$ but that was mostly to cover my effort. If I ship you qrings I can just toss it in the box; it's a brand new unused take-off from our SRAM cranks.

Tubes got sold yesterday and are gone. The 34T ring will fit a RED 22 family that's what I've already run them with. RED/FORCE/RIVAL/Apex which are all inter-compatible. You just need to have enough capacity in your Front Derailleur to handle the 18T offset. What we should probably do is send...

JoeBat for the win.... Order your Velominati decal now; after all all that matters is rule #5 Or since it's Giro season you could go with Joe Pipistrello

Ipad setup for web surfing while riding. TV playing Long form movies Audible book on head phones. usually all at the same time. Probably 20% of what I post here is written pedaling. I'd claim that's the cause of all my typos but no one would believe me. Played with the lights on the bike on...

Mark glad to here you are ok. I always think bah I don't need a helmet on a recumbent; then I put it on cause the slow speed stuff is what always gets you. I still remember coming into the driveway too slow; front tire popped straight up into the air; and 1.5 mph the bike simply rotated to the...

It's also very clear that tire makers have decided that they can charge more for Values than for tubes and increase net profits. Fortunately values last at least one season more if you can keep them internally clean. I made a "drain snake" from an old brake cable for cleaning them.

Per DC Rainmaker podcast: This is the time of year Garmin rebates it's units. The price will go back up. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/04/garmin-slashes-vector-pricing-adds-shimano-pedals-edge-25810varia-radar-powerpod-on-sale.html
