Repack Rush

Repack Rush is that video game skills section. I just did it, it's not a MTB course. At least it wasn't for me.

Don't you need to pick some specific bike to be able to ride it?

When I did it. You stopped and changed bikes. Must be different now..

 

[Steve Vai]

It’s definitely an MTB course when you get to it. There’s big berms and wooden features and stuff.

We;ve gotten to the point where people want to ride gravel even inside? What's this world coming to?

I did a gravel loop of Acadia on Rouvy the other day. I have to admit it was pretty good. The sun was shining and people were walking and riding in shorts. Coulda used some crunchy sound effects and some pine tree scented air freshener, though.

I have to say, I don't get the allure of riding virtual gravel at all, but to each their own.

Honestly. I don't really like any type of indoor cycling but desperate times call for desperate measures. I thought I had bikes for all conditions but this winter proved me wrong. Looks like we'll get some significant melting in the coming days but mud season...

It's working

I pulled something on the back of my right knee. March 29 Is my last training day before MKF. Not sure I'm continuing after that

After last night's workout. Waking up this morning with my knees completely locked up. I've paused my trainer road subscription. It's to much for an old guy like me. Did it help? absolutely..
My power is back to wear I was in 2020. ❤️
It's getting nice out and trails will be ridable soon. 🤞🏼

 

[Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST]

I paused my subscription on the 18 1 day before the above FTP increase starts.
Now it says it's staying the same even though it's the same 2 workouts as before the pause.
Go figure! ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

If anyone wanted to get the frame, Zwift just put them on sale for $600.
Love mine and can use HSA/FSA funds for it too.

Surely this is just a result of your indoor fit being out of whack, no? Every thing that's wrong gets magnified threefold in a static position for an hour at a time.

It might be? . It's really close to my gravel bike fit. It feels the same when riding both. I thinks it's the constant pedaling, higher cadence, sustained power with interval work. Plus I'm 54 and just sorta winging it.

You can work with Tim over a video call. They can still get all the angles right and make sure that Zwift bike is optimized.
