That whay I drught ya inta it.
@vesteroid is surrounded by mountains like Custer at Lil' Big Horn so I drught him in as well

Wrong; we just don't do it fast

See, take a bat to a bat fight and it's all good (the boards don't care for the use of g*n, pis*ol, or rif*e)

Still trying to wear out those mid-compact ya sent me. The compact Q-Rings are coming off. 50T makes my short inseam look like a monkey is having it's way with a football at 125 rpm

TrojanHorse

I wish SRAM made their new fangled rings in a mid-compact - they shift way better than the old style rings. But since I'm a sissy pants, I'll stick with compacts.

IBOHUNT

Getcha some standard rings. You could move to the flat lands and do bridge/overpass repeats
Those 39T little rings suck when the grade > 12%

TrojanHorse

12% sucks period. That's why I broke down last winter and got myself a wifli RD. I have an 11-32 sitting on the shelf for those special occasions too!

IBOHUNT

FIFY

TrojanHorse

It's more of a dessert plate. PIE PLATES need to go to at least 36 teeth.

vesteroid

you guys are killing me....I just put on an ultegra long cage RD with a 11-32 cassette...BUT I have the DA Rd and 11-28 cassette hiding on a shelf for when my fat arse gets skinnier

2.5 hours on tap tomorrow IF the shop finishes the bike today as they promised (for the 3rd time now).

dr_lha

Hey, is anyone in the TrainerRoad Team, other than me, going to ride?

IBOHUNT

You, sir, have never seen my desert plate. Some would call it platter. I've seen folks put turkeys on them for Thanksgiving. Yep, give me that big ol salad spoon for this Mint Chocolate Chip box of ice cream thank you very much.

IBOHUNT

Waits patently....

salreus

Yes, I am going to ride. I am only doing 3 workouts a week. I have 2 completed before you did the team. you should see one from me either today or tomorrow. And then should see at least 3 a week going forward.

salreus

My concern is the next one assigned to me is 90 min and I am not sure my sit bone can support that long considering I have only been back to riding about a week now. thinking I can either do the 90 min as long as I can and stop. or just skip and try another 60 min. Or, I guess I could do the 90 min and take a break in the middle. But I'll log within the next 24 hrs.

dr_lha

Yeah, I must admit I've been not following the Training plans because of the requirement to do a 90 minute ride on the weekends. I could probably do it, but I just don't really want to spend that much time spinning in my basement. It's probably a mental thing, I should try one this weekend. Forecast -20F windchills means I'm not going to be outside much!

vesteroid

I use trainer road, zwift, and I ride outside, so depending on what my workout is, decides which software I use.

IBOHUNT

I couldn't get Zwift to see my HR or power meter last night. Will try again tonight as it's not a Trainer Road night. My one night a week off.

vesteroid

I had major issues with this UNTIL I bought a USB extension cable and put my ant+ dongle on the floor under my crank. As soon as I did that, no more problems. Before that I was dropped or stopped 20 times a session.

IBOHUNT

Thanks, I'll give it a shot

dr_lha

Question about Zwift. Does it really only work with ANT+ devices, or do they support Bluetooth as well?

vesteroid

both as long as your computer supports the connection. Also be aware all blue tooth is not the same as in older macs even with blue tooth will not work with the kickr (as an example)

dr_lha

Yeah, I have a Mac that supports Bluetooth Smart. A couple of them in fact!

salreus

Ok. I got my ride in. I had to get off the bike a few times. Not because I was tired. But just not ready for 90 min on the seat. I seem to hit the targets but it felt so easy to me and I never felt challenged... well other than being challenged to stay seated a bit longer.

dr_lha

Nice work. OK, you've inspired me to try a 90 minute ride this weekend!

salreus

I might pick up a 30 min ride today. I want to hook up my speed/cadence sensor to my bike also since TR won't upload the speed data from inRide.

RomansFiveEight

Joined the TrainerRoad team last night. With this weather we're getting; I'll be spending a fair bit of time on TrainerRoad I think!

salreus

I just tried out the new TR IOS software. I like the new layout. Uses more screen and you can now use it in landscape mode... However the cadence reporting is now completely inaccurate and doesn't seem to adjust once it stabilizes. Getting it to cadence to change takes a big power swing or a long time.
