What does that tell you?. Unless your roads are inch thick in snow, you know where its at.
Mr Friel talks the talk, but why ain't he walking the walk? or why hasn't he walked the walk with his knowledge?. I went to this Uni, I went to that Uni, but in cycling, I have achieved nothing.
Thoughts???... Too harsh?.
Damn, there was a great quote from Louie Simmons, I'll try & find it & it was regarding why you shouldn't listen to "bookworms" who hadn't been there & done it. Fantastic, I'll try & find it. What I will say is, so many factors with regards to overall cycling performance. Balls of steel, dedication to cycling, the riders integrity etc far outweighing "CP60 being your FTP", or "FTS - Functional Threshold Speed". Maybe too Old Skool?. At the end of the day, just make sure your turning the cranks, train hard & "try to enjoy it".
