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

One of our group has become missing this week (another crash?).

But to answer an earlier question, this is really whose year it is, and it now seems fitting.

I'm gonna have to make some pancakes this weekend. I might also splurge on some professionally made (but artisanal) pie this weekend.

I dunno why there are two forks in this picture, as this is obviously a single serving personal pie:

This reminds me that I saw a lemon chess pie at the store today. I don't know why I didn't buy it. a) pie b) +1 to my "how country are you?" score.

You may enjoy a Brevet or two. It's a unique deal where you can ride with others, or not, but you're never completely alone. At least here, anyway. We have a large community of them here, and when I'm done racing, I'll likely go back to that. 300k is the gateway between wanting to go more, or calling that a good distance. 400k is a commitment, as is a 600k. I never wanted to do anything that took more than a single session of riding, so I never tried a 1200k.

That’s when you drug them, and when they wake up next morning tied to chairs you explain the value of counseling and reconciliation, or else. This technique usually gets people’s attention.

Snow covered roads, not deep but not rideable with anything that I own without breaking something. Sick of the trainer so a hike may be in the plans. My oncologist wants me to do more load bearing exercise anyway. The odd thing is, after nearly 40 years of strenuous cycling exercise, I seem to burn more calories at a lower heart rate by walking. Too much cycling muscle specificity?

what are you using to measure calorie burn? I have noticed the same thing over the years between fitbit, treadmills and even strava but I don’t think any of these are accurate. I don’t own a heart rate monitor.

I would like to do a 300k this year. I did two 200k rides last year and they both went well enough that I think 300 is a reasonable
goal.

1200k is a long-term goal. There's one this year that looks amazing but I believe they make you complete a full SR series before you can enter, and that's just not going to happen this year. https://www.ironporcupine1200k.org/

The club I ride with is repeating the 200k that was my favorite ride of all time this year. Super excited about doing that one again.

I'm also hoping to do a little mini-tour on the Elroy-Sparta Trail with my wife this summer.

This would be the same as someone using copious amounts of jelly and telling themselves they are getting a fruit serving.

I think I mentioned this to you earlier, but even if the power estimate isn't spot on, pulling calories from that number would be way closer than the calorie estimate from Strava.

I was wondering to myself why Strava wouldn't use the power estimate for calories as it would be way more accurate than the highly inaccurate speed/time calorie estimate because estimated power isn't even a premium feature. Then it occurred to me that lots of people would rather think they burned twice as many calories as they did and Strava knows this.
