just did my first 100km group ride/race. Overall went extremely well


However... lol, a couple people got super rustled that I couldn't keep pace and kept pulling away. So rustled that they posted about it on strava lmao. I found it extremely hard to actually keep the same pace because of crazy headwinds we were getting. So I didn't know how many watts to push out front vs if I wasn't out front. Anywho I feel i wasn't that bad, the other people in my group were just slower I guess and couldn't hold my wheel on flats which kinda sucked as I then ended up coasting basically doing 200 watts for the majority of the ride. That being said it was all still incredibly fun and I'm extremely thankful and happy I had a group to ride with.


I am actually very very surprised. TrainerRoad is like magic. I had zero problems with this ride and it felt easy for the most part, wasn't huffing and puffing at any point aside from when I had to pee then catch up. Overall A+ for trainerroad given that I only started riding mid october.

Given it looks like you guys get a fair bit of snow, do you find that your roads are absolutely peppered with road salt debris? my god it's brutal here. the roads are literally like gravel roads in some places because of all the salt and gravel they put on the roads to help with traction in the snow for cars.

Zero riding for me today, forcing myself to take every Sunday completely off cycling and weights. After 8k and 50 miles yesterday with deadlifts (fasted), and 90 tacos... I'm toast.

Better going hard on the front than not hard enough. Sounds like you had a good/relatively easy run mate.

Lack of knowledge is crazy.

Small hill x 2 yesterday afternoon and bike shifted up a gear on both occasions when i sat up from the saddle.

Someone please point me to an easy vid to fix this possible small adjustment myself without needing the LBS.


Thanks in advance.

Edit: I've been looking @ Strava this evening, might have to have a crack and record some of my slow, short rides (aint nobody need to see that). Are people lurking in here like a motherfukker or do we actually have 70 posters like the strava group suggests?

Welp, looks as though my "budget" $130 dropper post has bit the dust. Back to regular quick-release seat post clamp for me. I kind of enjoyed removing that 4th cable from my handlebars

So I give indexing a go.

My inside lever on the right for the rear cassette pinged really far over when i tried to go up a gear about 5 miles into my ride.

Seems ok but was strange. Plus now when i go to a lower gear it is like the chain has doubled in size. Lol. I like messing with stuff i have no clue about.

Just keep messing with the barrel adjusters. It takes several attempts but you'll get them straight.

Was totally able to ride. But seems that it needs a bit of concentration to get it right. I understand the + & - screws adjust the chain from falling off the cassette.

Also lining up the gear i am in with the 8 shaped bit at the back with the other screw.

Now I just need to get my gears perfect with the adjuster.

I swear on me mam. You guys have seriously made me quite at ease with these minor fixes.

May even strip the bike at the end of autumn. Full service.

If i could buy you guys a beer. I wood.

The recent rain has completely washed away any road salt. Otherwise I'd still be on the trainer

With the advent of YouTube, a lot of stuff is easily explainable, demonstrable, and fixable. The stuff that would nickel and dime you to death at LBS can be done fairly hassle free at home. If nothing else, it makes you more in tune and connected to whatever you're riding around on.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't try to build a relationship with your local shop and especially the mechanic. You'd be surprised what they will be willing to tinker with for you while you wait, and for very little or free. So 10000000% learn the way your bike works and how to fix it yourself. But greasing the wheels at the LBS never hurts either.






So now after about 80 miles of varied terrain on my new setup, I can say I am officially in love. I really debated when my buddy wanted to head off the roads we were on and shred some dirt and gravel, but my Enve's and slick tires handled it mostly fine (Just losing traction and spinning the rear wheel under uphill acceleration). Although the "upgrade" was well more $$$ wise than a nice new complete carbon bike, I am head over heels for this Ti beauty.

Purchased some diaper creme tonight, apparently it works much better than vaseline. Tomorrow we shall see!

Got some much needed miles in today.

Almost lost track of time, riding in a non-fasted state.. brings the PRs

Looking forward to the diaper cream review

No fasted riding anymore...just can't focus the same as when I'm carb loaded. Day off never hurts either

I don't know about you guys but I just straight up bonk out if I haven't eaten close to a long ride. Fasted training sounds like my idea of hell. Although I mostly train fasted at the gym. Weird.

Riding after work today, hopefully get about 30 miles in but I'll plan my route later.

Focus smokus. You just need to get over thethreshold. Caffeine helps.

Your body's going to fight you, but you just have to learn how to slow things down a bit. I assure you, you will adapt.

It feels like it in the beginning, but I assure you it's all mental.

You're body's going to tell you it's starving but in reality far from it -- that actually takes weeks. After you've surmounted that hunger pang hurdle, things will become significantly easier.

Once you transition to burning fat as fuel, you can ride to the limit of your pain threshold time in the saddle.

I was about to say that - my body is probably OK but my brain is the one doing the complaining!

Planned 35mi (optional shortcut home) for after work today, time to give the navigation a go on the Garmin.
