    The box that I created seems like an overkill but I am interested in traveling with the V If I were to repeat the process, I might just choose an easier option. Cough up some money <$100 sounds reasonable to me and buy one of these...

    Haaaaaa guess that's why it's got so cold here I can't go out to do the low cadence rides. I don't like them either... But my quads felt sure they had a work out. That was a good 90 minutes spent. The endurance rides if not windy seem of a different intelligence. More of nutrition and...

    Very sorry about @RojoRacing , I was hoping to meet up. Guess now I will have to get a trainer and see him on Zwift. Its my birthday today and instead of all the predicted crap rain, I have actually beautiful warm sun shinning thru the window. Roads though are terrible wet from the melting snow...

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    I will check my LDL levels. I don't eat red meat, I eat mainly fish but I am high on goats cheese and eggs. I do eat lots of mediteranian salad with Virgin olive oil. When i cook an omlette with three eggs I only use the yoke of one egg plus the three whites of the eggs. But I only have been...

    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:

    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
