It was a beautiful day but I forgot to dry all my keep warm gear so I managed to get in a couple of hours on the trainer. My legs started burned up and ended with barely able to walk. The ride – Zwift

Ever have one of those dreams where you really want to run but when you try it’s like your moving through molasses? I started on Zwift feeling OK but then my legs just started to refuse to spin the cranks. Not sure if I’m out of gas or tired or just getting old or what. The ride – Zwift

Heavy rain during the night and cloudy cold weather drove me indoors and into Watopia. It’s so much warmer in a volcano. The rides – Zwift

I picked a really short ride because I had planned on joining a training ride. Then technical problems happened and I never joined said ride. Instead I rode in circles. This did allow me to be lazy and then sprint until I wanted to puke as I went on a leaderboard hunt. I doubt it was effective training but when you are too lazy to

I’ve been on the trainer for the past 3 days. For whatever reason Zwift disconnected from Strava so not all the rides made it over. Multiple days on the trainer leaves the brain a mess of indistinguishable memories that all blur together and my legs are still whining and crying out with debilitating cramps.

The isn’t any wind or road vibration like there is on a road bike. However, there are group rides and training rides that make you sweat and leaving you wishing you could

Everything can be blamed on the stupid virus so I’m blaming my apparent loss of strength and speed on the entire thing. I keep hoping my tears after these Zwift rides will lead to performance gains but alas I think with each passing ride I’m just getting older not faster. The rides – Zwift

It’s windy and rainy and I’m a wimp and don’t ride in that stuff unless I really have to. I’ve been waiting for Dune to come out and with grey skies and a couple of hours on a trainer ahead of me I watched it all. I had seen the 1984 version but I’ve mostly forgotten it. It wasn’t bad but you have to really
