Yup, currently resting in the Peak District, was sunny until now but cold and rain today. Staying in, eating cheese, playing Scrabble

Thinking about doing the Über Pretzel this upcoming week.

The Uber is a good one to do.

I don't think I've ever done it.

At least you don't ride up Boxhil something like 9 times do the 100 mile route.

Currently on holiday in Ibiza, may have negotiated a few hours to myself for a cycle, altho only seems to be ebikes about to hire. Might be a good thing it's assisted as it's 28 degrees which is about 12 degrees higher than I am comfortable in

I went out with the A-ride yesterday (73 miles). First half was OK. Hours 3 & 4 were wet roads and a face full of spray. I hate that.
Wasn't expecting it to be that wet.
Now I've got Zwift, I don't ride in the wet when I can avoid it. Did a wet hilly ton last year. Thoroughly miserable experience.
(I ride bikes for fun & fitness after all.)

I had a HR over 170bpm the other day on my Ebike going for a hill blast, locked away from Strava, I set an overall KOM locally

Yeah I'm looking forward to it, think they have orbeas looking at a few people flying past.

The alternative option is to go clubbing on a Monday afternoon so ebike definitely in the lead at the min

Sometimes the simplest rides are the best.
Grey, dull day down here in Bristol, but after lunch Littlest Spartak asked to go out on her bike.
We had a lovely hour just ambling along, walking the steep bits and freewheeling the downhills....
Simple pleasures....

Yeah, looking for a long ride that I haven't done yet but don't care about the distance as I've already 'ticked off' the 100-mile badge + the Alpe finish sounds interesting.

That sounds like a perfect day on the bike.

Nice of her to get off to walk alongside you when you were struggling as well

Did a gentle hour with Coco Cadence to give my calf a bit of R&R, but I put in an effort for the sprint which earnt me a best 30s power (779W), and a further dig at the end which makes me think I’m destined never to get the 1200W badge (1154 for 5s, though). 🤪

How on Earth can you do 1150 for 5s but can't get 1200 peak? I'm silently hoping to get that badge myself by September

Haven't tried the new pace partners yet but want to get the Buffalo bike and compare W/kg required to keep up with C. Cadence on Buffalo vs. Tron.

I’ve done 1175W for 5s with a peak of 1199W before!

That's just annoying

Last time I tried to use pace partners I was getting put onto the course in a random location thanks to a bug introduced when they added the new ones. Probably fixed by now?!
