Zwift, TR, Sufferfest etc
Just started watching the replay of Strade Bianche on GCN, rode Zwift after work, now I’m kicking it on the couch watching one of the best races on the UCI calendar

So stoked! I stayed off of Velonews so as not to spoil it.

Incredible group of riders in that front group, can’t wait to see what kind of numbers MvDP was pushing on those two insane attacks. Too bad for Quinn Simmons, he looked very strong, he basically started that winning move. Strade Bianche is lives up to the hype, it’s an incredibly fun race to watch. It should be considered as one the Monuments

I knocked off my last badge in NYC this morning. Did the L'Equipe Provence Badge Hunter NYC Everything Bagel event.
It was a big group 800+ riders so it took almost 15 minutes to settle down and find a group to pace with. It was a way faster pace than I expected. I didn;t think to look for any other TGR riders in the event but afterwards I saw that BennyMac was out there. He finished about 7 minutes head of me. I was hoping for a sub 1:00 hour ride and was just over that.
Now that I have all the NYC, Innsbruck, Yorkshire, Richmond and Paris badges, I'm going to try to knock off the rest of the France badges next.

Nice work finishing off NYC. Agee about the pace - I was definitely sucked into going harder than I wanted to for what I thought would be a leisurely early Saturday morning spin.
I’m signed up for their Volcano lap achievement badge sufferfest tomorrow but feel like shit today and have beer league hockey playoffs at 9:30 tonight - so might skip tomorrow and get that badge some other time.Last edited by bennymac; 03-06-2021 at 08:12 PM.

He’s young and dumb, but he’s going to be a major player for the next ten years. Did he apologize for the ‘black hand’ episode? If he did, when do we let it go, if ever? I’m kind of sick of the commentators bringing it up every time he’s on the screen. Yes, he’s a douche, but he’s also very young and impressionable. I’m conflicted on this guy, I want to forgive and let him move on, but I understand the hate also.

That depends very much on whether he figures out how to be a sponsored professional. Criticism for him is trickling over into criticism of his sponsors. The convo below is one of about 50 similar I saw on Twitter yesterday. Obviously I have no idea if it would ever move the needle with average Joe Trek buyer, but if he becomes as successful as his legs suggest then he will be in the spotlight more and more. Not sure I'd take the chance on him as a brand ambassador if I were Trek.

Just followed you, Dee Hubbs. Initials are F.S. Hopefully I can make it next Tuesday.
Although I have zero confidence that I can navigate the Zwift app to join in.

I just invited you.
Just be riding in any world at least 6 minutes before the scheduled meetup. 5 minutes before the event/meetup Zwift will put a prompt on the screen “Do you want to join your meetup” and even then if you do nothing it will auto select the meetup in 30 seconds if you don’t hit any buttons.

Somewhat OT: anyone have an opinion on GCN+ vs NBC Sports Gold for watching bike races (US)?

At $25 bucks promo for one-year it was a no brainer. Unfortunately, the promo expired at the end of Feb. I'd still pay $50 for a year. Tons of content. No idea about NBC.

To continue the thread drift (but the analysis of power numbers is somewhat relevant to comparing to your own meager zwift efforts):
Mathieu van der Poel INSANE POWER DATA at Strade Bianche 2021
To have that left in reserve at that point in the race is mutant-power

Zwift, TR, Sufferfest etc
I was waiting for the LR, race analysis, love his style. Holy shit, those numbers! Really good breakdown and the photos he uses are incredibly good. Well worth watching, thanks bm.
Who beats him in the spring classics? He could be about to go on a rampage, win them all, thermo-biblical indeed!crab in my shoe mouth

I think it’s in his blood, his family has a rich cycling heritage. His father Adri was winner of two Tour stages and some Classics also. His grandfather on his mother’s side was the great French rider from the 60’s, Raymond Poulidor.

Fack, the 2021 RAMROD ride got cancelled - that's 2 years in a row. What am I going to train for now?
