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.

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

Turns out today would have been a great day to be outside but I had already planned to ride inside and burned up the remainder of my legs on a “recovery ride”. Must go outside tomorrow. The ride – Zwift

I keep feeling like I’m getting old and slow. I’m putting my faith in Zwift to get faster this winter. This ride hurt so good. The rides – Zwift
