Ha nice work!

Cervelo for you? That’s my goal this month.

I’ve learned you can farm XP (if you’re shy of leveling up) by getting on a time trial bike and alternating back and forth between

That’s a great looking bike

Those are impressive numbers Dee.

I’m not gonna make it due to hockey - our snow is melting so our ice is likely not gonna survive much longer.

There’s is a ton of valid criticism in here that has nothing to do with 1) hating crypto 2) talking about taxes.

And there is a lot of arguing in bad faith from all sides.

wow - amazing that anyone survived that

Oh I've been tempted many times to respond - I think I did once - but the risk of him or other people lodging complaints towards me (through legit channels given my profession) is real and although...

omg yes this.

Stolen from Instagram so it’s “peer reviewed”

squeezed in "stage 3 long route" tonight just before it disappeared - 1 hour and 4 minutes of grinding

I'm actually looking forward to the short route of stage 4 to try out some MTB racing in the...

If your hand is numb from riding it feels like someone else is tugging it

Off the top of my head- when thinking about nerve compression issues from biking I can imagine it’s a combination of all these things and more:

- torso length
- arm length
- seat height
- top...

^ Blasphemy!!

I just know the “shaking out” habit can be a sign of nerve irritation / compression. But I’m not an expert in how to easily alleviate it.

A lot of physiotherapists seem to also be athletes /...

That’s carpal tunnel. You can Google some simple PT to help. But getting your wrist in a more neutral position on the grip will help solve it.

There are likely videos on “carpal tunnel and...

If it’s your thumb, index, and middle finger more than ring and pinky = your median nerve (not your ulnar nerve). Median nerve runs through the middle of your wrist though the carpal tunnel - if your...

RIP senior researcher. Your loss will not be in vain.

Thanks!

It's a BMC frame called the URS (for "unrestricted") - it has a small suspension where the seat stays meet the seat tube (hidden inside that black strip) - gets good reviews for the frame....

New bike day. Seems like it’ll be awhile before I can properly ride it.

^that looks like an amazing day of riding

Those have the electrolytes you crave

Nice work to hang onto that group and then aero yourself across the line. Did the short route in zone 1 after 4 days of no biking. Gonna ramp up to long route tomorrow.

Nice work! Those are not rookie numbers.

You’re gonna get this thread moved to PolyesterAss

The trailer holds the vehicle he drove to go get the camper.

But yeah - having Carlin around today would be helpful for many reasons.

He’s actually in his 60s and owns a big gold mine. But it was built in Arizona by an operation that mainly does millennial builds. I think he’s doing his own interior work.

It doesn’t look like it on the outside (and that was by design) but this thing is a camper. Just built this winter - inspired by the pandemic I think.
...

It’d be a lot cheaper than taking a unimog. Same for getting past the Darien Gap.

But no street (blog) cred. Plus a lot less room for your map of the world sticker.

I suspect a stock RAV4 could get you 99% of the way between Anchorage/Tuktoyaktuk and Ushuaia - maybe even a Corolla?

But if you’re not doing that drive in a Unimog are you really even doing it?

I hope you have releasable pole straps

PG can you analyze please

If dry dirt does eventually show up here Im so stoked to not have to go through those first 10 rides to get the bike legs back. Thanks for organizing the group rides Dee.

It’s been a decade since I’ve done the ribbon but I still remember taking a far right line that was narrow - with bushes to your left and a cliff to your right - and riding it very fast with my...

I think the Ribbon is worth riding - but works best if you’re with someone who knows the trail. In spots it’s like backcountry skiing down a field of powder.

This time of year anything warmer than -15 feels too warm for outdoor exercise

(but to be fair in October -5 feels way too cold to go outside)

The problem is that our piles of snow are not...

Sorry Dee I had to go to work today. Til the end of April sounds appropriate.

The girlfriend of one of the Vancouver Canucks allegedly was on a podcast talking about how the restrictions weren’t necessary and how they were still going out to eat and drink.

Now 21 players...

When it comes to boots I just like the Hawk.

Not sure the hip-hop scene is gonna take to that brand :)

I think a localized wind event caused your camera to be tilted like that

awesome Thanks Dee - that's a helpful video. I need all the help I can get if I'm gonna be in any true races

Question- how do you join a race start pen when it opens and then leave and go ride elsewhere for warm up while still maintaining your position in the pen? I think this is possible yeah?

It’s not gonna negate the vax but it could in theory lessen the response so just use Tylenol instead (if needed)

Get a good sleep before and after your jab to maximize response.

fair enough - I’m no expert. I had them on a jacket I bought in 2015 (that got run over by an airplane and replaced with this current one) - people hate on norrona because it’s a trendy brand with...

we’re probably at a point of small incremental improvements in both
