I have two French-made jerseys from PBP back in the 2000s, and both have those pockets. Darned handy for phones, or used to be MP3 players (I have used ear buds in the past, but riding with Machka means I have to pay attention to what she might say, rather than music). Now, though, with the QuadLock device, I can put my phone on the bars, have Strava (including HRM pick-up) going iwth GPS, and listen to music or take calls as I need to. I did think the other day, however, that using the phone on the bike while moving is, strictly, illegal. |
A friend just posted a 106 mile ride out to Mt Gretna and back for Saturday. Like a fool, I agreed to go.
What should I eat for a century? |

What should I eat for a century? If you do though, I'd suggest you take some gels with you. And something salty. |
I am expecting a 17 MPH pace, so it will be a 6 hour century. More like 7 if you include food and rest stops. Not too hilly, allegedly 5500 feet of climbing.

Ok for my Spain trip I am thinking of using the PNS. What's a good way to hold the paper map over the bar and/or stem?

That climb was way oversold. It was nothing.
Race was totally uneventful. Someone attacked on the first lap but he was caught quickly. Second and third lap were slow as ****. With like three miles to go I decided to attack right before the steepest section. I think I overdid that initial attack, hit new Pmax for the year and everything (893 watts :o.) Got some gap but a few quickly caught up with me. Couldn't hold on to the eventual winner's wheel, then hung with a group of two, but couldn't keep those wheels either. A few more passed me and I got seventh place in the end. Not bad I guess. Hit power PRs for 1-5 seconds, 1 minute, and all the way from 4 to 10 minutes. Guess that finale was hard after all :D. In retrospect, I should have waited until after that steep section, pretty sure that would've worked better. Was a fun weekend all in all. |

Why? They have the internet/GPS in Spain, you know. Where in Spain are you going? |

Do you guys and gals really wear earbuds while riding? Seems you'd be better off salmoning so you could at least see what's coming at you, if not hear it.

If you're gonna do it, do it right - I wear a full VR headset while riding so that I can Zwift.

I hope you speak Catalan because they don't speak Spanish in those places. Just kidding. You know, I'm not a touring cyclist at all, but if I were touring I think I would opt for paper maps as well. I don't know why, exactly. |
