Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Nice day but still very wet, another day on the trainer.

That's not the same.

Long LT intervals on the TT bike tomorrow. They suck.

I've never seen a picture of your TT bike. It's a slice, right? Pics or it didn't happen.

When I'm on the Slice, don't worry, it's not happening.

You get what you pay for.



Position is slightly more stretched out now, 120mm stem (that's a 110 mm in photo), armrests about 1 cm higher. That actually results in a better (and more aero) position.

Do you like the signature floppy socks? I no longer employ those.

2+ hours of longer (5-15 minutes, varied with the terrain, full recovery in between) intervals on the TT bike, HR about 170.

That sucked pretty hard. Which means it was a good workout. Also, I pulled out the allen keys 20 mins into the ride and spread the aero bars out one more inch. HUGE difference in my ability to maintain the aerobar position, that really is important. Doesn't matter how narrow you are up front if you can't stay in the position.

Starting to feel dialed in on that TT bike. I'll be riding that for intervals 1-2x weekly. I'll tell you this: after suffering on that stupid Slice, the regular road bike feels like a tanning bed.

you know riding a trainer outside of your garage doesn't make much sense. You ride the trainers inside when it is cold or raining outside. And how do you know your position is more aero? did you go to a wind tunnel? we need pics of that too.

I didn't think about it before - but you're completely correct.
