Get Off My Trail
After a couple of weeks in the shop waiting on parts my Beargrease is back. I was initially frustrated with the Sram AXS GX setup I had put on the bike but as it turns out all the problems were in the rear hub that was slowly disintegrating. Now that I have a bran new hub from DT Swiss all is well again and I
First ride I was setting up YouTube (Zwift is OK but still boring after a while) and I missed the part where everyone tears out of the gate at max power so I dropped out of the ride. Zwift shows no mercy when it comes to trying to catch up. Then I went for another Tour de Zwift stage 1 ride. I was dying. My
This is my kind of power lunch. Well, really I’d love to be eating fine French cheese and bread in the Loire Valley for lunch but hanging out with strangers for an hour is fun too.

Attempting to take it easy I joined a recovery ride with a bunch of guys who’s idea of recovery was my idea of pushing until I wanted to cry. My legs are now fried but I’m glad I tried.

The Tour de Zwift has started which means you earn fake jerseys riding with a thousand other people. It’s fun so I did it twice covering the B and C groups. I’ll have to try the A tomorrow.

I try to ride with some group when I’m on Zwift or else I get lazy and just kind of roll along. Today was a hold 240 watts for 10 minutes day. I have to admit that I haven’t been feeling strong for a while. I wish I could blame it on something like Covid but it’s really me being lazy and eating too much
Fitting in another ride on Zwift in an attempt to hold onto some tiny bit of fitness. On the bright side I think I found a hub for my fat bike. It’s like Zwift chooses my moments of weakness to take a screenshot. The ride – Zwift The equipment I’m super lucky and my wife bought me a Wahoo KICKR. It’s realist and for a
It’s a bit of a challenge to find all kinds of things these days. 177mm Fat bike hubs are especially difficult and so while I hunt for parts I’ll find myself on Zwift. Here’s day one.

Today I discovered why my drivetrail was cracking all the time. I woke up to freezing, negative temps and decided that I would drop my son at school, ride and then drop by the shop to let the team there adjust things so that I could get rid of the annoying cracking noise coming from the rear end.
