Yeah, I'm stoked. They were dug up professionally too so the transplant shouldn't cause too much trauma to the roots and whatnot. My yard instantly looks like a tropical oasis. :lol:

The two biggest Queen Palms are about 10 feet tall.

sounds like it hurts. gj!

september i will begin the quest for moar faster.

power meter, trainer, and coach shopping when i get back from bikepacking in august. ill train my balls off all winter, then take racing more seriouser in '17.
ultra endurance events(1-400mi single efforts) and wilderness racing (3-500mi bikepacking stuff) TD is off the table as of now

ps: get your bike back yet? one of those wilderness races is gonna be stagecoach 400 which is in your hood, we should play bike cycles.

1: 315w
2: 320w
3: 325w
4: 330w
5: 340w! Really felt like I was unleashing the hounds over the last half of this one.

Nice!

That's super impressive, it hurts just thinking about going that far over VO2max for that long. I tried some 5x30" increasing intervals and could barely even hold on that long after a couple increases.

i sprinted at 1900w once.

You guys are weak. My micro is 1,100 watts. We can run full bore for 90 minutes.

GL in your ultra events coming up. I don't have my bike back, like most gov't employees they're taking their sweet ass time processing everything :(. PM me when your event is closer, I'll ride mtb with ya and check out your event.

That's very impressive. I'm sure you're bigger than me (I'm 150-155lbs), but from an absolute perspective those numbers are huge. You'd whop my ass in a 1v1 drag race, and I consider myself a sprinter with only a 1300w max. Fortunately for me, there is much more to sprinting in a race scenario than raw watts.

I could power it for 4 hours.

It is a lot from a repeatable power perspective, but I'll bet that my true 5' CP (max) is north of 360w.

Today my neighbors accused me of stealing their bike lights off their bikes that they leave out in the public area unlocked that anyone from the street can walk up to. Yup, I totally did it.

My crazy old neighbor lady accused me of stealing the valve caps off her cars.
