I just tried my first “workout” in Zwift. It was a group ride and a custom workout supposed to improve leg strength. It had us going near then above FTP at low cadence. I did not like it and the ERG mode on the trainer is merciless!

So far it’s awesome, but also my first ti bike. I will say it doesn’t have the supper soft feel some people seem to talk about with ti. I find the bike very responsive under power, but might have a bit smoother overall ride compared to my carbon TCX.

They are the much discussed RB505 Dung Beetle levers.

I went with it during the build because I had heard it was good. It started wearing the first summer. When I finally got it replaced another shop told me it was good “race day” tape.

Well, landed an internship today. Plans/intentions laid for the past several years had to change with recent events and thus no international traveling, which bums me out. On the other hand, I don't have to quit my "essential services" job to fulfill said internship, so I still get a paycheck. If all goes well, graduation is imminent in August.

What's wrong with riding on the roads?

Kudos

Strange times. . A shame the plans changed, but good deal on the lemonade you made of them.

That sounds like an excellent outcome under the circumstances. Congrats!

This amuses me.

After being a long-time erg-mode adherent, I've come around to preferring slope. Rouvy lets me make workouts in slope; I may try that but for now there are enough virtual routes.

Seems America will be a face-mask country shortly.

Someone on Twitter just asked for foldable bike recommendations.

If anyone has one . . .

I'll just put this here.

yeessssss....

Heh. Heh.

Tomorrow morning, we will go to 60+ hours at the supermarket en masque.

meanie.

Gloves and gown? PPE FTW.

loaded with PPE :bday:

Just keep telling yourself: Fake miles, fake pain.

And I was beaten to the punch. Drat!

Just a mask.

At the CC they started handing out masks at the door today. Also a messenger/escort tested positive and they just shut that function down pending contract tracing. Yesterday, the CEO got pissed off because he was told that employees were asking that their CoV-2 tests be scheduled at the beginning or end of the working day to coincide with their commutes. :bang:

Did 20 miles outside this afternoon on the new bike. I am unsure but I may have been hearing intermittent b.b. creak. This was one of my fears with this bb/frame , bb30 dub garbage . I'll glue that bastard in with lock tight if it doesn't knock it off.
