Addiction LXXIX

Notices
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

Those look like Chestnuts, so even don't bother with them.

A handful sounds reasonable.

Understood. He is an interesting guy. I met him while riding bitd at the Hop. He was a brilliant intellect, but had bipolar that was not always well compensated so he would go from brilliance to depression frequently. He would take advanced engineering classes and sit in back and point out when the professors would make mistakes. He was riding in downtown Bmore (on MY Vitus blue aluminum screw/glue frame btw) with a helmet on and hit a storm grate with the openings parallel to the road. Splat! Had decent head trauma and could not think clearly for some time. When he got to his new baseline, he was clearly dumber than before but actually closer to “normal” and way less of a French Shower to others. The joke is that the TBI cured his bipolar, a reverse Phineas Gage type of tale.

Now, 33 years later, he does have some mild cognitive impairment but does ok.

Hey datlas is there anything special about breathing through your nose? Intuitively, it seems better, but I watched this for a while (not two hours, wut) and they never got around to explaining why it's so much better.

I leave for a bit and the quality goes way down. Here is a gorgeous song for you to enjoy @Velo Vol I think there is a French horn in there.

  1. The quality did not go down.
  2. That's not a French horn. Flugelhorn or muted trumpet.

Probably does not matter much. You do get better filtration and humidification inhaling through your nose, but I suspect for most situations it does not matter much.

I'm getting the weird feeling that there are health claims made on YouTube that may not be 100% legit.

Un-possible! They wouldn't let you say it on the Internet if it weren't true, right?

I've read it's better for your lungs in the long term. Also that it's more important as you move towards temperature extremes.

Some cycling coach guy said that during efforts, the ideal is to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth, but to do both through the mouth for the most intense efforts.

It seems that my nose gets stuffed up while cycling quite a bit more now than I remember it doing several years ago. Allergies?

Kudos! I’m still a little under half of that. Which is still more than 50% up from any previous year.

That felt good! It's been a while since I've been out on a long solo ride, so today was much needed. As a bonus, Velo Vol would be proud of my hydration (or lack thereof) - 95 miles on two water bottles, with a ~pint of pre-hydration.

I rode the mup for a couple hours. It was nice and I wore gloves and a helmet. I did not have a handle bar bag but I did have a fredly seat bag. I went over 20mph, which is elite. I waved at a lot of people and I passed 3 e-bikes. 2 of them were weird looking contraptions.

Kudos, I guess. But since sweat season is over the glory is gone.

Hydration came up as a topic of conversation at my Cardiologist appointment*. Pre-hydration specifically. I told him I was well versed in pre-hydration courtesy of a fuzzy mouse-bear. He looked puzzled.

*Who has Cardiologist appointments?

It's better than the '70s guitar screeches that you were posting for a while.
