Just booked a tandem for my trip to San Francisco with my missus!
Going to pick up at the Presidio and hopefully head up to Muir Woods over the bridge. :)
I shall have to look up those things! Cheers.It's BEAUTIFUL. Be careful on the tandem but if you guys are pros then up through mill valley up mount tamalpais!
Careful on the way back up through hurricane gulch!!!
Aye, not only because being able to ride on a group is of benefit to you, but also because people who aren't experienced at group rides can be a bit of a menace to the rest of the group.If you're thinking of racing before you've even done group rides... I really wouldn't
Apparently I have a decent FTP (270w for 30m or more, haven't tested for higher). But the problem is that also I'm considerably heavy (88kg, 195 pounds). So the way to become a better cyclist, specially a climber, is obviously to lose the extra fat that I still have. So....
Is there a way to lose weight without losing fitness? All I have read about losing weight without losing 'fitness' is 'avoid cardio!'. As a cyclist, obviously I don't want to lose cardio either!
i want to start biking but dont know where to begin. with the wife and kids, i'd imagine most of my riding would be on (poorly maintained) streets, but i also live in a rural area with lots of dirt roads and hills. is a hybrid something i should look for or would i be better off sticking with a noob friendly, cheap, mtn bike? i dont want to be held back by a jack of all trades master of none and think i'd rather have a slower/tougher street ride then to not be able to ride off road. price range is maybe $500, been eye balling the hybrid trek 2, what else is in this range i should be looking at or into?
I remember back when I would lie to myself.
And say terrible things like, "it doesn't matter how good my rim tape looks because nobody can see it."
...
So, how bad are Strava power estimations? Because power meters are really too expensive to consider IMHO... and the powercurve of the race is too good for what I was expecting.
As for the race. It wasn't bad. In the 20's out of 300'ish. But I'm sure I could have done better.

I got a Wahoo Bolt yesterday and it's awesome. Got the Red version so it matches the trim on my bike and I'm loving the way it looks. Up until now I've been using an iPhone 8+ on my stem which was just way too big, I was hitting it with my knees and the notifications and flat battery warnings were giving me the shits so I'm glad to do away with it. The Bolt is way smaller than I thought it would be but the screen is really easy to read. Just waiting for this damn rain to stop now so I can get out and ride!
Hey, looks familiar!
I had a Garmin Edge 500 for 8 years before getting the Bolt. Big upgrade. No more plugging into the computer after every ride and my Stages doesn't drop data anymore.
