You just have to feather a lot in the snow.

Going to shoot for a strong 40 miler today. We shall see how that goes.
Cut the ride short and practiced manuals for 30 minutes at the end of the trail.
Can't manual for chit which is hilarious because I can do backwards nose manuals if I have an incline to work with.
I need to be able to manual on command for unlimited distance before 5/1/2018. I want to be able to hold them forever with ease.

Instead, I've had to ride indoors using my Cycleops.

sup fam.
finally picked up my first real bike today.


I wont lie, the color sold me..its a beautiful matte neon red which looks more like deep sunset orange.
its a Giant Escape 3....LBS had giant escape 2 (in black) also but i didnt see the point spending 100 bucks more on a bike for a color i did not like and for aluminium forks which i didnt find comfy (not a fan of dark black colors). Also..i noticed zero difference between tourney, acera and altus with only noticeable difference being different shifters.
took it for a spin...and gotta say...Giant makes the most solid constructed bikes even at this price point...it rides much faster and smoother than other brands i tried such as cannondale and trek.
its simply Fast which means i enjoyed every second riding it.
and gears shifted very smoothly and inspired confidence.
I gassed out within 30 mins of riding and realized all these years of smoking (which i quit recently) and avoiding cardio has taken its toll on my lungs...hopefully this bike will make it fun to build my cardio....and by next year i am physically conditioned to justify purchasing an endurance road bike. (or maybe not?).
I need some advice on what bike helmet (around 50 bucks if possible) to buy and some nice smartphone apps for cyclist to track distance covered, routes etc.

Use strava app for tracking rides. Free.

Make sure you pickup a powermeter too, ASAP. j/k
Stay safe riding in NY. I hit 2 cars in my 9 years I lived here. 1 drove off. The other was a cab, and he yelled at me in a foreign language.
Is that pic from Astoria?

Hopefully i can get a hold of him so i can take a test ride. Found another Cannondale Synapse thats a newer model for a lil bit more that will be my back up if the first guy falls through. Thanks again for the info it was really helpful.tl;dr version - it's one of the best bikes in the business
longer version - checked Cannondale's bike catalogs going back to 2009 and couldn't find that paint scheme at all but Cannondale is known to add color schemes during the course of a single season. If it came with Ultegra, it's almost definitely carbon, as the alloy Synapse historically tops out at a 105 groupset. However, it could've come with something lesser and then the guy upgraded to Ultegra. I don't know how long ago you asked for a response, but if the guy isn't local to you, I'd do some searching to see if he has an online presence at all. If you're going to spend $$$, then snoop.
As for the Synapse, it is an "endurance road geometry" bike. It has a bit more upright of a riding position than a "racier" bike, like a Supersix (or a Specialized Tarmac, for example). It's still a super-fast, super high quality race bike, but the geometry is a bit more relaxed so it'll be a lot more comfortable to ride, especially longer distances. That's the primary difference in intent between the Synapse vs. the Supersix. The Supersix is for the racer, the Synapse is for the guy who wants to ride fast but still enjoy himself, and isn't so much concerned with eeking out the ultimate in aerodynamic speed.

Hope everyone is doing well, havent posted in absolutely ages.
I'm looking to get a tri bike and came across a local ad for a bike for $5500 CDN. or 4204 USD. I didn't realize that a TT bike + a good TT position will save anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes over a full ironman course. That is absolutely mental. Was also listening to the trainerroad podcast about drag coefficient and again, you could be putting out 220 watts approximately with a really aero setup or putting out 300 watts with a road bike and be going the same speed. Frustrating as I put out 260 watts for about 5.5 hours on my ironman bike leg (very hilly course at whistler), and i feel i was moving like molasses.

good value or no? overall thoughts?

We need a new ideology with the core values of reason, honesty, science and secular progress over the older traditions of religion, superstition and dogmatic faith that have long defined humanity. We will never be free to progress and advance until the last stone from the last church is cast down onto the last priest. And every equivalent.

Anyone know why my left hand keeps going numb after about 10 mi.? I feel like my riding position is good, and I had my bike fitted to me.

got a question fam...looking at helmets and some are 'MIPS' which is supposed to be more protective?..can someone explain how they work? if i invest in a helmet i wanna make sure it will offer best protection.

and i am not a fan of black colors on two wheelers..why try to be less visible on the street? this color glows like neon.
got a question fam...looking at helmets and some are 'MIPS' which is supposed to be more protective?..can someone explain how they work? if i invest in a helmet i wanna make sure it will offer best protection.
