I plan to ride Saturday at some point, but not sure when exactly. I am planning to do a run up the Alpe on Sunday, so probably not Surrey hills for me as it would kill my legs. I was thinking a possible Muir and the Mountain as I’ve not done it for a while.
We rode it one weekend before Christmas @kirky72 (I’m pretty sure you were there) – Brian organised the meetup, 21/11. It’s a superb course, and it goes up the radio tower so whatever elevation you are chasing it’ll surely satisfy you?
Struggling to find the Discord link for Sunday’s ride, I’ve local bike club ride Saturday and I need to do a challenge ride I do on the other app, which means I’ll have tired legs for Sunday so that will help and I would like to try and do two laps will see how it goes.
Weeksy and I are entered at the moment. Can use discord if you want to enter the C cat and try some tactics – maybe attempt a breakaway on lap 3 or something?
I’m in for the 12:30 short dolphin crit today as well actually. Tomorrow is more open to debate depending on how things go with plans i have to collect the wifes motorbike.
Not being one to race in general I do find myself curious today for some reason. Belting headache presently so not imminently interested. Need to collect the full sus bike today so that’s two reasons.
I take it Crit Races are short sharp and nasty efforts trying to keep near but not at the front?
another fasted ride this morning steady plod of greatest London with the only big effort coming up Box hill. Its so much harder with no food since the evening before but just trying to cut a little weight.
Afterwards I made a little footage of the Pedivella rocker plate in action for those that showed an interest.
its still early days having only done a few 30 mile rides and Tuesdays race whilst using it. I would say so far it feels like you might lose some power as it feels somewhat softer when putting down bigger watts however I’m pretty sure there is no loss. saddle pressure could be a little less but honestly its difficult to tell with so many variables from one ride and week to the next. The feeling is quite nice and there’s not to much sway action especially when seated, a bit more when stood and really cranking it hard.
product wise, the finish is quite nice but the cut out shape isn’t totally symmetrical which may upset some with ocd tendencies. I’m not sure if this uses the same mechanics as they sell sets of, it looks pretty basic from a quick view but without taking it apart I have no idea whats inside the squashy parts. There’s no way to make firmer or softer without going DIY style and adding balls or foam. however I don’t think it needs forming up. at least not for my weight at 79/80kg plus bike and trainer.
Hopefully I will be doing a longer ride towards the end of next week so may get a better idea of its effects on saddle soreness.
Really is too early to make a worthwhile assessment but if for £90 it proves a little more immersion and results in only 10 to 20% reduction in but ache it would be worth it.
@karnali I think that’s basically the plan, he’s running a stream which is linked in the other thread so you can be sure not to grab him part way up the climb out something but pretty much just join in when it suits I think. He’s headed off at 6.45 first rep should be about 1.30 then 1.15 or so there after if he’s keeping his planned pace
This is entirely a reflection of my climbing prowess, defo nothing to do with the Zwift freaking out at the start and m being the only person on Zwift.
I’m eyeing up the Mega Pretzel tomorrow as part of the Fondo series.
Longest I’ve done on the trainer previously is just shy of two hours, after which it was no longer all that comfortable. So we’ll see how this goes. Feels like it’d be about four hours maybe?
We did the Mega pretzel as a meet-up and I think I finished in just over 4 hours. Should be a decent group on a fondo which should help to push the pace up. Good luck!
I’m hoping to jump on tomorrow for something chilled so as not to blow my head again and start our recovery week (for those doing the morning workouts).
I’ll try connect to the DrP banter on discord whilst I ride so at least I can be part of it in some small way and help keep the chat going
@kirky72 mentioned his doing quatch quest last weekend which I’ve still to tick off, not sure if I’m now the only one mind?
I’m happy to put something in though I’m aware that one of the bigger routes might put a few people off, got to be better than new York twice though hasn’t it?!
If quatch doesn’t appeal, maybe bigger loop, it’s a decent length for a Sunday social at about 50k but a relatively tame 650m ish
I’ll be up for a Sunday Hills…
Prob not enough time for Quatch Quest (though I still need to tick that off, but got the kids)… maybe ‘bigger loop’ might work!
Want me to make a meetup?
Shall i do it free, or elastic band??
@funkybaj certainly – I’m guessing you’re not following me as, unless I’ve missed I’ve invited everyone on my list.
If you Follow dangeourbrain on Zwift I’ll be happy to ping you an invite.
