Oh man, it's supposed to finally start snowing here in God's Country, I'll try to get the pain cave setup. I wonder if my trainer setup will fit in my new office when I get that built?
I'm happy if I can maintain 2w/kg anywhere on these rides!
WAIT THERE'S A WHAT NOW?

Awesome ride tonight gentlemen. I’ve been doing a lot of boring low and slow base training for the last month so it felt great to push the legs higher tonight.

Ah, damn, I need to get on it. Still haven't gotten my bike on the trainer, and I have some new shoes I need to get set up too. Also, I've been off for awhile so I look forward to being the lamp post for a few months. Some days you're the dog, other days you're the lamp post

Had a blast riding with you guys yesterday. Cheers Dee for setting it up! Really appreciate that! That was the most fun banter I have had on a Zwift ride to date, so sure wish I could join more of them!
On that third lap my HR got up over 180 going with Wendigo and Falcon so I just backed off. That was more than I wanted - solid riding and super fun, so looking forward to joining another event!パウダーバカ!!

Zwift, TR, Sufferfest etc
One of the issues we have in our household is that my lovely wife is all 11spd and I am still in the dark ages with 9spd on my road bike. Our kickr is set up 9spd because I want to do group rides, so she only rides erg workouts - which is what she wants anyway. But I’ve been wanting to fix this.
I’ve been meaning to switch my bike out to 11, but with the price and availability of 11 speed stuff, and 12 speed almost here, I decide that was a waste of $500, and instead grabbed a Kickr Core that needs some parts for the same $$ which I will set up dedicated to her. Kinda stoked.
It also means we can zwift together. Domestic bliss. What could go wrong?
As a guy that used to be on his road bike 3-4 times per week, it is amazing how, over the years, I’ve moved over to almost exclusively dirt and singlespeed commuting. Enough that I still have 9 speed DA on my road bike.
Times change I guess. So does perception of safety on the local county roads…

No kidding, I used to be happy to go fight traffic downtown and now time of day and expected traffic volumes on road rides are a key part of my decision making.
WTRL race schedules are being announced about now, last season there was an 8pm MST time slot, I'm planning to do that and don't have a team, will be racing the "America W" timeslot as a B.Last edited by bean; 12-11-2021 at 09:55 AM.

I've taken a real love of gravel riding if only because I don't have to worry about getting run over. Plus exploring keeps it fresh.

9 speed Shimano is just so sweet though. Although I dont think anything will shift as buttery smooth yet positive as a full 6600 group

Yeah those are doing alright for me right now.
Did stage 4 tonight. Tried to take it easy then got sucked into it up the last climbs. Decent numbers but I was planning on a workout tomorrow for some reason.

I rode stage 4 tonight. I found those climbs very benchy. Just when I put my head down to push through a steep 8% section, I'd feel the trainer reduce the difficulty, and I'd look up and we were at 1%, and then back to 4-6%.

Well, because I'm kind of an idiot, I think I ended up with 2 more Kickr Cores when I only needed one. If anyone wants a Core let me know, I might have an extra. Nothing wrong with it besides some cosmetic scrapping on the flywheel sticker. Currently it doesn't have a freehub body or adapters. I've ordered new ones and should have them in a few days. $550 without the parts, $640 with the parts. Pick up on the front range. That should be good mag deal price - I've not seen any other ones under $700 really, so maybe it'll help someone out.
One note is that the freehub body I ordered was shimano. If you want a different one this is a good opportunity to get it at the lower price then order Campy you fancy person you.

Ugh, did my first attempt at road-to-sky. Had to stop at an hour as it was dinner time, but man that thing is brutal.

I'd be happy to shave off like 3min.
Went up there twice this week hoping to get those wheels before we race ventoux in our local series next wed. Still no.

The new Roval Alpinist CLX: 135,300 Drops, Level 32 are just as fast the Meilenstein's on the uphill (tied for 1st and second fastest)
BUT only 5 seconds back over 50 minute Alpe climb is the 4th place ENVE 3.4 Level 4 (!) 191,700 drops.

I'm only at 28. Have the enves and supersix so they'll do. Looks like the cadex 36 is marginally faster on the new charts but meh. I'll just keep climbing adz probably. Been my goto for 2x20s and 5x5s.

I reactivated my account today but
I had nothing but connection issues. Started and stopped about 3 workouts. No one was visible in any of my riding. Need to figure that out
