Get Off My Trail
We’ve had a couple of days of interesting snow where it instead of dumping all at once there has been a constant stream of snow flakes from the sky. It’s been building up and in the mountains the ground is white, the trees are white and the sky is white. It’s beautiful and a bit disorienting all at the same time. The ride – Providence
Another group to ride with, the Herd, is a great option when you need some fellow rides to keep you I from riding lazy. I ended up riding on last bit for 30 minutes to get a picture. For some reason Zwift randomly doesn’t take one and then I don’t have one. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
Riding with a group pushes you to do better than if you are just cruising along on your own. The 3R group on Zwift is a great group to join if you want to push harder and get better. At least I keep hoping all the sweat and pain will lead me to get better. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
It’s my son’s birthday so I had just enough time to sneak in a ride before grabbing him from school to go to lunch. All those french fry calories won’t burn them selves. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
The trails don’t get any better than today. The grooming gods have been hard at work so the rest of us can play hard. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Salsa Beargrease
Watching Dr Who while I ride in England. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
Just cruisin’ on a recovery day. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
Providence doesn’t get any better than this morning. The Beargrease loved the smooth, white highway on the climb and giggled on the bobsled run down. We were both very cold. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Salsa Beargrease
My numbers aren’t your numbers. That’s what Zwift teaches me every time I do one of these rides. I find group around me can output 2 Watt/kg and totally drop me when I do 3Watt/kg. Over time I’ve learned that it has to do with some amount of lag. In the real world you can respond when someone sprints or when you noticed you’ve fallen
It’s been a while since I’ve managed to do a 3R ride. Glad I found one today. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
