I agree that you need to train on what you are mostly going to ride on the road. At least have something that is similar in seat angle and BB height.

Here is my last hard ride before the Century next Saturday. Figured I better get out and ride the Vendetta outside so I can re-acclimated to having to balance it! haha It was a good shake-down ride. Unfortunately the Vendetta is more ready than I. This Century wiped me out! A metric Century...

Yeah - most people use some kind of cheat to get the KOM - either putting their weight super low or "other" methods. I remember looking at one segment and saw the average wkg that the KOM holder had used. I just about killed myself to match those figures, only to find myself way down the list...

Well I got my first Zwift KOM today! It was 8 laps "Innsburking" haha. Probably only got it because it has not been around that long to ride, plus it takes close to 2 hours at about 3.5 WkG, so not too many fools out there want to suffer that hard! haha Funny thing is, I did not know I had taken...

FYI: If you want to get in on some extra fun (and pre-event warm-up, so to speak) - Alvin also runs a local 20K TT race every Thursday at 6pm. He of course owns the KOM for it at 27.0 mph! https://www.strava.com/segments/7366972?filter=overall Jill Paxton owns the QOM at 21.9mph (Maria you...

Yes, they allow registration in person on Friday - (that is what I always do) - and just checked with Alvin - even on Saturday morning. See you all there!

Through a lot of trial and error. Primarily I look at how much my knees are bent during my back-stroke and also try and make sure I do not have to point my toes on my push stroke (Keep the toes pointed up). That is when I feel I can make my best power, spin fast, and no knee pain.

The reports of my "often-ness" of crashing are are probably wildly exaggerated! haha But, I will have to say, that probably 1/2 of my "sliding/crashes" were due to front flats at high speeds probably in a slight turn and usually going all out or close to it. April 2015: 1 week before Calvin's...

My 2 cents: I concur that it just "seems" easier to make power on a DF. I was also surprised at how easily 200-300 watts would show up on a DF - virtualy with almost no effort at all - and even 700-800 for sustained periods when charging up a steep hill , but the perceived effort on my Vendetta...

Yeah, but then they would have to change the name to S33 - Hmm - not likely.

There ain't much, that is for sure. See you all there, that is if I can survive weed-eating my yard before the 18th!

I just hope I can keep the darn thing up-right! :rolleyes:

So many people have asked so many questions about how bents and Cruzbikes is general compare to the best uprights, I wanted to do some specialized testing around that. So, no I am not defecting to the dark side - I guess I am just board late in the summer - but I just have to know the numbers...

No wonder you are feeling better Ken! I just don't know how you could have had that key fob and key under your scab for all that time and not feel it! You must be tough. :rolleyes:

"keto boaderline"? ??????? what is that???

Great write up Ken, and welcome to the Larry Crash/Sliding Club. So glad you are OK. Maybe next year we can do it together! :)

I started back on full Keto diet 7 days ago as I crept back into some bad eating habits over the summer and also gained some weight. I am training very hard for a 1 HR TT in a couple of months, so most of my training sessions now are ridden at FTP for nearly an hour about every other day. I...

I concur - not a good idea to convert non-tubeless wheels to tubeless. It is just not worth the risk. True tubeless wheel sets are coming down in price too, so easier to purchase. p.s If you are not doing it to pick up speed increase, you can have a similar level of protection by putting sealant...

This guy it pretty cool, but he confirms (at least in my little brain) - that I will continue to wear a helmet! :rolleyes:
