Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I did Cycle Oregon in 2007. Chris King and a small entourage travelled with the tour. I never saw him ride, but he did like to hang around in camp in the evening with his flock, hold cour and drink coffee.

Can we please take the masks talk to the Covid forum? Because what I’d like to say is far too political for this thread, but clearly it’s not just being dropped despite getting tempers up.

Those colors...

I do like that the geometry is nice and low compared to most, but I’d never be happy looking at any of them in the stable.

If I asked about lower gearing and I got 100 replies I would be surprised. I had no idea there was that much to know about lower gearing.

But then you have to bleed the brakes

Also it’s funny, because I think when I first registered here roadies viewed Cervelo with scorn as a tri-geek brand. I certainly don’t remember this much glowing talk about them back then.

When you're saying increases and decreases, you're talking relative to your baseline? Like bad stressors will send you below your baseline and good above it?
Stress is a general term denoting the influence of things, both good (exercise) and bad (sleep disruption), which disturb homeostasis, or the tendency of the system to dwell at, or return to, a particular set point.

As a homeostatic marker, i.e. an indication of what that set point is, more HRV is better because it indicates greater activity of the parasympathetic nervous system relative to sympathetic.

However, as a marker of acute perturbations, i.e., stress, good or bad, it's more complicated. Any swing away from the previous set point is indicative of stress and the system can swing in either direction. As a rule, bad stress causes an acute increase. Good stress, however seems to be able to push HRV in either direction, or at least that's my understanding, not having gone back to the original literature on "good" stress. In vague terms, I think the direction of change after exercise is an indication of how the body is "handling" stress and higher means it's reacting in a healthier way because of increased reserve. That seems to fit with my experience.

A higher day to day variance, measured in my app as the running 7-day coefficient of variation, implies stress because it means the system is being perturbed by some input.

Make sense?

I will look up acute HRV increases in response to exercise and see if there's anything interesting there.

I’m still surprised it’s a whole groupset - seems like an RD and maybe a bit else would be enough. I suppose there are people who would feel it wasn’t taken seriously then though.

I love my bike, but I have nothing else to compare it to. I got it because it was a smoking deal and fit me. Someday, maybe I'll ride some other soulless plastic bike and realize it's been ****e all this time.

I'm sure that your perspective is different, but I only recall scorn similar to... let's say - Rapha. Upscale without bells and whistles, so it must be fodder marketed towards poseurs and dentists, yadda, yadda.

Kraft was solicited by the governor to help. He sent the Patriots plane and (with some others apparently) paid for the masks. They would have brought more back, but the plane only fit 1.2 million. 300,000 of those are in New York this morning.

Facts are facts.
Thanks for clearing that up. Now you two shake hands.

Yeah, I would think that the clutched RD would be 95% of it. Maybe a chainring/crankset for 1x. I don't see the rest

Or you can just go in to the Greater 41 and wait for people to yell "Hambini!" at you.

I don't think I meant any more than that - it just was viewed overall negatively, and now it's flipped even though I think the current ones are less good for their time than the older ones were. Whereas people hardly talk about Felt now.
