Zwift bullshit
/n/ - where masters world chumps are born
Any /n/iggers planning on competing in the UCI amateur world championship in 2016? The race is based in my home town and i was interested to see if i would be racing against any other chinners
It's amazing how much distance I've logged on my heavy ass mtb. I was a NEET for 4 months so they were mainly rides with grills/grocery shopping or running errands. I didn't create bike profiles until late spring, so the distance is probably higher than pic related.
The mtb is typically equipped with a wooden crate. Didn't like the look of a milk crate, but the weight of a wooden crate is really something I should have considered.

OMFG stop making fun of my bowels, thanks
I also got surgery to repair my bowels and I'm back to riding a bit, fucked from not riding much for like 12 months and missed all races, so rip in peace what would've probably been my fittest year yet, guess there's always next year....

never again will I chase strava times on my local mountains.
Didn't get on my road bike for the past two weeks, only my 90's rigid mtb with slicks. I actually can't wait for winter. A couple more weeks and I'll slap on my studs. Hopefully the first snowfall is soon, but it is unseasonally warm. Typically the first snow day would have gone down about this time of october.
Got myself some bar mitts and it's making me eager to try it out.
>>886952
Perth? Wonder how much plane tickets cost.
Also wouldn't you need to do something to qualify and enter the race?
>>890926
Im not sure how much it will cost but to qualify you have to place in a UCI sanctioned amateur event (normally a grand fondo) in the top 20% of your aged bracket. I think. At-least thats what i had to do to qualify.
>>886952
I'll come if I can get a spare 6-7 grand in the next few months for plane trip etc
>>888726
>>fell at 80kmh without a helmet

I find that extremely hard to believe. How could you not at least get some road rash? A bruised elbow?
Did you fall on a grass patch or something?
Anyone else 35lbs heavier and have a ftp 60 watts lower than they were for their last race?

Any Windows Phone users here? What's your app of choice and how do you like it? I'm currently using Cyclers, it gets the job done but the uploads are so damn slow and fail at least a couple of times before going through. Plus no default name, and can't bulk-upload or export to .gpx
Also what's the deal with this guy? Did he record a flight or something?

I used Straza Mate for a while. Never had trouble with the actual upload section, but numerous times you pull your phone out after a ride and it's all reset.
Don't know if it was because of my phone shitting out or having buttons ghost pressed in jersey pockets, but it was annoying enough to make me get a cyclocomputer.
>>893599
Manual entry for what was a month long tour, to my knowledge.
>>894105
1/3 of the way through in a single ride, feels alright. Also feels weird because the challenges seem to getting easier for winter while it's becoming warmer in the southern hemisphere.
Hey MATES, just felt the need to aware you that itbs surgery is the best option for anyone who has had it band problems for more than 50 days without relief.
Tbh, I'm already back to being able to run and ride as much as I want on the knee I got the operation on, literally holding back so I don't develop the problem in the other knee as well...
desu guys wish I had got in both knees at same time boys.
Basically, don't be like me and waste 11 months vigorously doing 1:30 of pt a day + stretches and getting injections and dry needling, just get the surgery if you haven't fixed it in like a month lol desu especially for people who wants to be good at riding a bike lol desu
>>895488
Hi senpai sethu sama even tho ur back u wont catchup to our gains. die a weak slave white boy u slow butt.
>>895493
baka desu senpai, im amazed at where i am already given that i barely rode for almost a year desu senpai, will be gud if i dont injure my other knee in the early spring so baka desu lad
also calling me white was the biggest mistake of ur life mate baka, you are so white if you went in a cloud i wouldn't be able to see you senpai
Thank u based Hiroyuki for wordfilters.
Lads, need serious advice since my coach is busy doing coach things.
I got this bloody surgery on my right knee, it's been 100% and I can do about anything I want on it without it even getting swollen after only 62 days or something. But my left knee (the one I didn't get surgery on) has been intermittently hurting for just 5-10 pedal strokes or 5-10 steps (walking) at a time. I know if I push it hard right now it'll probably develop into hurting as much as my right did before the operation.
The question is, do I push it now and almost definitely get the surgery and build back up to this point over another 60 days, or do I wait until there is races and lots of training at stake?
Also senpai lads, I'm seriously worried that losing the entirety of 2015s races will basically destroy my chances at being even semi-pro. Maybe I'm just deluded, but last year my ftp was something like 340-365 watts and 63-67 kilos at my highest last year and honestly feel I won't be able to achieve it again if I have to juggle training with having a job and knee problems lol, lads, senpai, mates... baka please help
>>895665
Nigga races dont mean shit, just recover and talk to your coach. Go talk to a specialist and work at getting that other knee better. DONT ever ride with pain like you've describe. I know cycling is all about pain but appropriate pain. Gains come back quick
>>895811
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRNwnYgsiM
How much power gains should I expect to get each month? I'm only doing 185 watts at threshold and it feels like I've been there for the past year. Winter is here, so I'll be doing HIIT on the gym bikes and 30 minute commutes. Losing weight down to 56kg is my goal at the end of winter, currently at 67kg.
tl;dr : What power improvement in % is it possible for me to gain from now until spring (May), currently 185 watts ftp

You are not making any power gains on a diet like that.

Any other /midwest/ fags praising the unseasonable weather? I may actually complete the November MTS
>>896580
What the fuck? Don't focus on losing weight. Focus on riding a shitload 4 days of the week and riding very intensely on 2 more days, stop focusing on the never ending pointless goal of losing weight and push the fuck out of your body. Also, have you tried the not being a pussy training plan? Jesus christ you guys disgust me.
>>896932
Well, to be fair he weighs the same as me and I'm 18 cm taller. Kind of feel like I could lose a couple of kg myself for the climbin', but watts are more important.
BTW how long do you do on the intense days?
>>896933
Until you're exhausted and then 20% more
>>896932
What is goal setting
Enjoy getting nowhere in life just arbitrarily doing things without goals.
>>896945
lol. You think you have to set goals to be successful? Maybe if you aren't driven and are a low test beta bitch. Eat large, train large and enjoy being ludicrously fast after a couple years of consistent training.
>>896951
Everything works if you do, but the question is what works best, and the answer is working towards a set goal (Auschwitz-mode is a shit goal though, I agree).
INSTANT ARGUMENT
JUST ADD WATER

I'm still here!
I had a ton of health problems. Ended up with liver injury and weighing 70kg (my top shape was at 77). I'm getting gud healtwise. Got back to lifting a bit last week
>still can do 10 pushups.
Tomorrow I'm pumping my tires and going for my first ride in like... 8 months? It should be fun. I still have some faint leftover tanlines.
I miss my Strava buddies a lot, you all know who you are.
>>903392
So great to have some good news from you. We missed you.
How was the training this weekend fellas? How are the goals for autumn coming along?
I had my first ride in about six months and I'm very happy about it. I had some lower back pain and saddle discomfort as I imagined I would have, but right now post-ride I'm feeling fabulous. I can't remember the last time I felt this well. Bicycles are magical, yo.
My goals for the remainder of autumn and winter are:
>ride 5 hours a week. (well, more if I can pull it off, but I'm keeping it realistic)
>work on and maintain a decent diet to regain muscle mass
>>891003
My uncle was in a similar accident on his bike. He was going 110mph on a straightway, hit a rock or something and was ejected from the bike. He didn't have a single scratch or bruise so he quit riding that day (has a kid, wife). It's uncommon but physics I guess.
>>903802
Most falls at speeds of that magnitude do not result in serious injury.
>>903392
>I still have some faint leftover tanlines.
Pretty sure these fuckers are permanent, I've hardly ridden in about 16 months (and when I do, it's been cold as fuck so wearing arm+leg covers) and people still comment on my tan lines.. RIP
Also my next surgery for muh knees is tomorrow, will definitely b able 2 ride a lot once again next year
>>904212
Good luck, dood.

It is showing on the leaderboard properly. You got third place.
>>905170
I have better time on this ride:

it's 5:21
>>904212
Are u alive?
>>905301
Send Strava a support ticket. They respond to them pretty quickly.
>>905555
recovery has been even faster this time, going to do some 5-10 minute indoor trainer rides over the next 2 weeks and, then start PT (hopefully Jan 1st or before) and then regular outdoor rides by Jan 10th I'm guessing.
>>905783
Apparently I had to click on segment full leaderboard and there go to Actions-> refresh my results. It's some kind of workaround for known bug.

>gravelbiking tren
Riding on gravel is fun as fuck. I did a few rides on my road bike, really helps handling. People are fucking pussies and are afraid to ride fast on gravel so they buy cyclocross bikes labeled as "grabel bikes" to make it easier lol, completely ruins the fun imo
>>907380

Bought myself an action cam for $70 to film boring stretches of road for hours
I'll probably make a route preview series for the uninitiated but I'm no Mike Cotty. I'm just sick of trying to find riding buddies that won't go with me because they don't know or feel safe with my routes.
Noob here. I see all of these time trial (segments) in the strava map with high scores. If I start a trip will the app automatically take a score for any of the time trial segments I pass over? Or do I have to set it? I guess you get a rolling start and it automatically starts recording?
I forgot to start the app on my last ride and now I'm waiting on parts for my bike so I can't try it.
>>909600
>If I start a trip will the app automatically take a score for any of the time trial segments I pass over?
Yes.
>physically exhausted from riding 4 days in a row and being lazy for a month
>gonna be pretty fuckin' hot the next few days
>need 190 km over 3 days to complete the rapha
I don't know if I can do it lads.
>>909875
That's not too bad. You can rest for the whole day today, then ride ~65km every day the next three days.
I'm now getting ready for a 100km ride, that would leave me with 250km left for the next three days. I hope I can make it.
My biggest issue now is I left both my water bottles in another city.. fuck.
>>909894
Timezones though. I already went on a 100km ride today.
Thinking I'll do two 90s in a row and take tomorrow off for recovery.
:*(
The group has been quiet, I'm glad this thread exists. I hope we can engage in more bike discussions on the Shinkansen page, as I value everyone's input and would really like to know just how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
>>910499
>how freakin' tiny, fragile, skinny and bony you can get
>>910546
This... fuck man !!!! best feeling ever to be weak as fuck and basically have every rib you have perfectly visible and defined. Also it's cool when you look at your arms and your elbow joint is like 2x the size of your arm LOL, It sick.
>tfw gave up on Rapha 500
All year long I was alone, and it had to be this time of the year I met a qt who's into film? Goddamn.
I've been lifting heavy weights 3-4 days per week, so less riding uploads on strava. Trying to get fat this winter. I still love you guys though.
>>910734
Sounds like you need to get your priorities straight.
>>907380
>Is anyone hating the gravelbiking trend? It seems to be picking up in momentum with more "adventure bikes" being provided
Yea to the few people I've met who have been riding their road/touring bikes on the roads less traveled for as long as I've known them.
my opinion is split
I don't hate the marketing trend because the bike tire industry is making some nice stuff.
I do hate that most of the "adventure bikes" are rehashed cyclocross bikes without tabs/braze-ons for pumps or racks. Who wants to carry food, tools, a pump, spare tubes, and clothing on your back for 5+ hours?
>>910923
Damn, I didn't realize you won against Arnaud. Know him pretty well.
>>910985
Won one of 3 sprint rounds against him and qualified faster(10.8 vs 11.1). He's got way too much experience and beat me with superior tactics. So I took second in the match sprints.
We went faster in team sprint and he had to settle for second there...not that second at worlds is terrible.
>>911045
So talented dude! Your insta feed is pretty great too, keep it up dude.
>>911045
Impressive. One of my inspirations as I try to get back into riding after a long hiatus
Im making it sempai, Just got selected as a development ride for NRS A gRade :)))))
Maybe oneday we can ride at the jayco herald sun tour bowel boy just please soon. I only have 9 yers left L**:(
So apparently, the original Shinkansen was supposed to be steam-powered.
Who knew?
A question about the leader board. If one person has the three longest rides in the club in a given week, is only the longest ride counted for the leader board? Or would that person be 1-2-3?

u don't understand bru, it's summer here :v
>>915164
:OOOOOOOOO
sorry desu :PPP
I guess some people just arent soft cocks :)
>>915165
Why have you been riding so little lately, though- tapering for a race?
>>915173
Yeah... kinda :\
Work really hit me hard towards the end of last year, my diet turned to shit and due to Australian summer heat my sleep quality and hours really dropped. So overall i couldnt really train that much without feeling crazy fatigue and underperforming like a bitch.
Things look good for the next few months though. Im racing next week in my states Hill climbing champs which i plan to use as a launching platform into increasing my weekly mileage on the bike. But all of that cant happen if i dont lift my game off the bike i.e.: stretching, nutrition and sleep.
Otherwise i want to get a base line of 15hours on the bike per week by March aiming at around 650hours total bike by the end of the year.
I have missed quite a few races this year already but my local scene is rather critt focused atm so you will see more action from me on that part in a few weeks when races start hitting up the climbs n I can do the dropping.
My main goal of last year was to build towards stronger fitness so i can spend this year learning race craft and building a rep profile while improving myself as an athlete.
But yolo aye, it was a big year last year, alot of improvements and alot happened. I managed to improve my FTP to 340, drop 8kg, hit 6watts per kg for 5mins, find a waifu and join an interstate biku team as a development rider.
So yeah just resting and soaking it in to focus again sensei desu. Can be a bitch throwing down 35hours as a chef assistance den go out training for another 15hours.
>>915529

I work all dang day as a 9-5 wage slave and then ride for a few hours in the cold dark all alone. whats ur weight brah? 340 ftp is hella impressive strong boi

Im thinking about either changing the Blue bit to yellow, and polka dot accordingly to represent the different jerseys colours or just having this as the 40km monthly TT jersey... idk
Thoughts desu?

looks brettty gud but 40km monthly TT? I doubt most members want/will participate in that. I have some 40km TT's this year but they for sure ain't monthly my boy.
з
>>916291
This is the semi finished design, i was thinking fastest 40km instead of a straight up time trial but maybe dropping the distance might get people to do it :\
Basically people would nominate a ride or whatevs

Just learned that by doing 27,000 miles over 2 years in every weather condition on a single bike will essentially fuck it up if you don't replace chit every fking moment of your life.
Bike shop said they put in extra large bearings in my bottom bracket because the other ones fucked the frame, I guess that's what I get for not having enough money to replace bottom bracket chit every months lel.

seth how did you break your frame? you can always come to me for tips and tricks to not wreck your own shit
-garrett
>>929163
The guys at the bike shop said that the bottom bracket bearings got seized and then basically slid around in the frame grinding it away
I'm guessing it was partly because of infrequent riding/riding in shit conditions lol, had no idea that would happen tho. I guess it's just a matter of getting the bearings replaced after riding in shit weather?
Sincerely,
Aaron DeForsky
>>929165
desu you should be able to tell if your bearings are gone to shit. If your BB is a pressfit bb86 like older Giant/Scott/etc get a hawk racing BB. I had terrible luck with OEM bbs but this shit has been smooth for a while. They also offer a "CX" seal which adds like .2 watts of resistance but makes it even less likely to get fucked up by the elements.
however with it being a Trek they should of just replaced the frame through their warranty program tbqh. Maybe if you weren't so huge and fucking freaky they would of extended that offer to you.
>>929183
This desu, if you're not fat and don't say you race, they will usually just automatically warranty it.
It sucksbeing a sad cunt because u let everyone down especially your fuck boi seth i mean like lol just because momma didnt love mean doesnt mean seth wont so like i decided to not offmyself n rget help but then bike come bak2 because im like the sickest n nobody is faster even seth i mean hes fast but not that fast, deveon and sanrfan pls all the gys are great 2 but like legit mountina king in maybe 2 -03 years if i kjeep at it :LDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>>929223
western union jme some money so i can come ridew ith u!!!!!
>>909584
what camera?
the snow melted... then it snowed,. and then it melted, then it snowed again. mfw
at least i found 3 bikes for free this winter
>>929263
there were 2 that were in the snow.
i usually look around the evening before trash day to see if there's some interesting junk I can restore. I saw a shiny old ten speed in the back of one of those beat up pick ups belonging to mexican metal recyclers one summer and thought why not do the same?
whew guys, training camp on the 10th super duper excited, jus hoping bike shop gets the frame we ordered b4 camp. like 25F outdoors 2day, 50 tomorrow, may do a grouper tomorrow
also based on the indoor interbal sesh ride thing i did a couple days ago my fitness is progressing even better than hoped. so yeah etc
?? idk
guys my work wants me to go visit our factories in China. Shehnzen, Shanghai, & Xiamen will be the areas I probably visit. Likelyhood of me being able to bring my bike is very low. Recommendations? I will probably try to get a heavy workout before leaving and treat those 10 days away as rest with intermediate running/use of hotel spin bikes.
luckily it doesn't interfere with my race schedule -- state TT & crit are two weeks before and I have a stage race the weekend before, should be due for rest after all that. Also I'm very afraid of dying or getting cancer from the horrible smog over there??
>>929676
good luck breh. look both ways before crossing. also, i heard some hilly places are great for workouts; steps all day. make sure to buy real water.
>>929676
m8 desu, don't even worry about 10 days if you raced hard in the weeks before. U probably have a lot more fatigue than you realize, at worst you lose like 0.05% fitness and feel a little 'sluggish' for 1 or 2 days when you get back.
>better weather still not in sight
kill me

>>929676

We're cyclists who like Shinkansens.
found a vid on youtube of me racing in 2014.. #Motivation brb going full anorexic cyclist 140 pounds 600 miles per week mode
So, are we allowed to talk about actual shinkansen in this thread?
Anyone tried Gran Class? Is it worth it?
>>936387
Maybe next time. I seriously considered it when I was there but it seemed like a waste of the JR Pass (both Green and regular JR Pass give you a ~10000 yen discount on Gran Class, but even then it was a hefty jump over a Green seat I had effectively already paid for)
The Hokkaido Shinkansen will mean you can enjoy it for longer though, at a price. That and there's meant to be a View Gold lounge opening somewhere in Tokyo Station soon to further try and emulate the airline experience which Gran Class travellers can access
Even still, it's obviously not the best value product for most stretches, then again it's only double the Green Car surcharge which in itself is cheaper than the JR Central one and lands you couple of free drinks on top of the usual wet towel. But I guess with the Tokyo-Aomori and longer Gran Class runs, you might as well take advantage of the bottomless booze, bearing in mind the food serving is relatively small so buy at least another ekiben
>>936402
This nip's review made it seem like you get two bento's though, (a western and jap one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8Skh_1dUS8
I feel cycling is the only thing I can do right. if I dont make it as a pro.. which obviously isnt going to happen, all i got is a hole of depression and nothingness. i have no education, no friends, got a job, quit a job, was pointless as fuck. Might sell my bike on craigslist so I can start drug dealing, flipping packs. I'm so fucked emotionally, feel useless being broke and going nowhere in life. i hate everything about myself. The world. I feel like I'm trapped in a cage.
>>936589
seth i know this is probably a joke or part of some alternate ego you've cultivated but yeah dude i feel you. too old to go pro, no motivation to do anything but ride and avoid any other responsibilities. relationships crumble but it's okay because it's not going to rain and i can do my intervals tomorrow
>>936589
You could probably make some money in porn.
So is it safe to say that the calorie count is pretty much useless due to wind, gearing etc?
>>938208
Yes, same with the power output
>>938239
>Mechanical work reported in kJ
>Metabolic cost reported in 'Calories' (exactly which one is not clear)
Get it together Strava.
>>938376
They obviously have not read the brochure. You should refer them.
Anyone else feel annoyed when people call you "talented" or some of the likes?
On bunch rides people regularly comment on my age or say something like "you're so much more talented than the rest of us." kek?
I guess they don't know that when I was 10 and a half years old when I started riding I was 220lbs obese and exhausted after my daily 1.5 mile loop.
>>938391
As a younger rider, the worst thing is when people say things like "well, if I had the time to ride like you I would be just as fast." I work a 9-5 and find time to ride where I can, just because you only ride on the weekends doesn't mean I don't deserve to steal ur KOMs punk
>>938444
>well, if I had the time to ride like you I would be just as fast.
That actually is probably the worst lmao
I don't have a job because I'm a failure lifeloser who should probably commit suicide, but most of the people who said that shit to me weren't doing 150+ miles on weekends (let alone the entire week) they had off, and even when they did ride, they weren't putting in the effort
