Climber's Gambit according to Andy

Notable point, being quite near the front just before the sprint, I was on the outside edge of the pack . I got pushed back to 40th position and lead bunch powered over the crest of the little climb into the downhill sprint. I did manage to catch the lead after the sprint.

@Peter Salt i am guessing you have just been promoted 👍👍 well done , and here’s to improving fitness 👍👍

Did 90 minutes of Z2 workout last night, thinking that’d be a nice way of building a base without too much hurting. Takeaway lesson is that, after an hour, even Z2 is quite hard!

Switch off HUD and ride on feel. It's all about perceived exhaustion - if it feels hard, it's no longer Z2, even if mathematically you're still in it.

I was watching GBBO on the big telly because I was just riding a constant-ish 205W on erg mode!

I have been trying too. Easier out on the road than on the NEO bike. At this rate I may have to buy a wattbike 😉😀

But does that keep your HR down in Z1/2?

I ride D cat endurance events to make sure I can keep my HR low. It feels ridiculously easy the first hour. Second hour beginning to feel it, third hour, legs are struggling. But HR is still in Z2

Drifting up towards 145 bpm at the end (before I did some sprints), so top end of Z2 for me.

Same here ... if i want to keep power in a certain range, I follow one of the pace partners.

Hano? Sounds like something IKEA would make

They would make a kit of ill-fitting parts and the wheels and frame would be at opposite ends of the warehouse.

Haha I have no idea what Hano is

Hand!

When this covid is over maybe I will test how fast hand bike is on flat. At least virtual drag suppose to be low as possible.
