No spoliers - but the Tour de France Femmes is a bit of a crashfest today

Yup, watched it all. The Italian going down at full speed was quite horrific.

Yep, like she hadn't seen the crash ahead of her and just barrelled in full tilt. Ouch.

I think I'll be doing a bit more CX then I thought - I seem to enjoy it. Just managed to buy a pair of 2nd-hand Hunt wheels and some better quality tyres at a discount.

Have you got some local events you can join in? Or are you going to just enjoy off-roading on bridleways etc. ?

Arm feels much better, spent a couple of days icing the elbow.

So I jumped onto a ride around Innsbruck up the Leg-Snapper.

I'm sure it was called Flugel/Kuegel or something like that

Zp placed me in 🥈

Haven't looked. Not thinking about racing to be completely honest. Will use it for a bit of off-roading, like you say, and maybe some slow touring.

Good to hear it's getting better

Give the racing a go @Peter Salt ! I think you might get hooked on it 🙂

It’s compatible with ZRL - most CX races are on a Sunday morning and they’re approx 1hr of really on/off punchy efforts. Probably the closest you can get to Zwift racing in terms of an effort?!

Exactly that. In an upcoming article for our club magazine, I've written...

In terms of effort levels, this turned out to be like an “in real life” version of a 30km Zwift race – also a total smash-fest.

You're a journalist now?

I noticed that too, first I thought there's a demolition derby but it was a professional cycling.

Well, I think you have all seen this one from me, descending to Port Valldemossa

Aleman it’s that yelp just before you go over the edge

Pure resignation. I’ve definitely been there

Don't make me buy another bike.

Did the wringer @Legs; I feel like you've talked about that one before. Not a huge fan but neobike works much better in ERG mode than the old kickr snap.

Anyone know of any training plans on zwift that are focused on v02 max specifically? Tried searching on Apple TV but the remote wasn't playing ball

Re-watched, this time with the volume turned up

I hate The Wringer. It’s only 6 minutes of meaningful riding… the rest is just waiting for the next dollop of inevitable pain… but how can it hurt so much?

I have been known to do a bit of writing, yes.

You can do CX on an MTB or Gravel bike
