Slogging it out In London
Not real London just Zwift London. I did make it past Buckingham Palace. I waved at the queen. Not the real queen but I imagine the virtual queen in her virtual Zwift Palace cheering all of us on. The ride – Zwift

My legs
I’m lazy and I hate pain. It’s really easy to get on the trainer and just spin. There aren’t any bumps, technical bits or core-trashing balance moments like there are in mountain biking. 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
I blame the Pandemic
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
Zwift Dune
It’s windy and rainy and I’m a wimp and don’t ride in that stuff unless I really have to.

Today I was determined to hold onto my power no matter what comes. For the first half I managed to hold on and output the kinds of wattage I
It Snowed
I really wanted to get the fat bike out and head into the hills. However it snowed wit h the trees holding onto their leaves. The carnage was universal with broken branches covering roads and lawns and branches breaking in real time downing power lines with a bright lightning like flash lig ridehting the dark skies. I didn’t want to be the one hearing all
Zwift before the storm
Time was not my friend today so between weather and meetings I found myself missing the mountains and building base miles for a better day. The rides – Zwift
Bad Air, Pretty Falls Colors, I rode Zwift, Not Happy
Never take clean air for granted. On this beautiful Autumn day when the canyons are lit up with color I find myself riding Zwift because the air is once again a miserable haze. I’m not happy. The Rides – Zwift
