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

It's part of the new constellation as a top level domain. It's even named "The 33", officially.

I just hadnb't gotten the in forum announcement thread posted yet, just the global announcement.

Hey, any chance we can get the "Track Racing" forum in with this? Seems like a good fit and might drive more traffic that direction.

EDIT: nevermind...

Maybe we need a Fred racing thread in the 41.
There are some strong riders (unfortunately I'm not one of them)/occasional racers here.

Also a power thread/sticky (not solely focused on WKO+ and saturated with acronyms) would be cool.

I'd say chances are good. I just kept getting bombed by PM's and that slowed up the transitioning of all the forums I needed to.

I think that's more of a 41 problem: pcad, addiction, necro-posting, and regurgitated topics over & over.

So a power thread not based on the concepts of power? What's the point?

This would serve you better. The whole point of training w/ power is based on these acronyms & the analysis done in WKO.

Training is in the title as well. And if someone has an answer for me, I'll take it. I really don't understand what else would be discussed in a thread about power w/o this stuff. Anyone?

Will the cat 6 results be moved from the 41 to the 33?

Should I get ticked when roadies don't wave at me?
