sheesh

2018-07-09 01:21:00 UTC  

how fatigued does that make you?

2018-07-09 01:23:34 UTC  

Depends how hard I push. I can go at a walking pace equivalent, a jogging pace, a running pace, a sprinting pace. Strava will also calculate the training load based on heart rate and power meter to see how long of a recovery you need for the intensity you exerted.

I went decently hard on this ride, so more than 24 hours for full recovery, but no so hard that I need a day off of exercising.

I'm interested in seeing the math behind that

@Tanner - SC I want to get into cycling. I now live in a city and know nothing about good bike brands. Aside from obviously googling for resources on my own time, what would be a good starting point for getting into cycling seriously?

2018-07-09 21:46:48 UTC  

And by seriously I mean tracking my workouts like you do so I receive that data, a serious but hopefully affordable bike brand, and maybe an app for finding popular cycling routes.

* Determine if you want to do road cycling or mountain biking or a bike that’s a mix of the two. They’re kind of like trucks vs cars, quite different designs
* Trek is my most recommended brand. They are the only brand 100% owned by Americans, based in rural Wisconsin, and have pro-America names for their products like “Boone” and “Crocket”. The biggest brand in the USA, Lance Armstrong rode a Trek for each of his 7 Tour De France wins.
* Specialized is #2 brand I recommend, they innovate the most, based in bay area California, sold 49% of the company to the Taiwanese. Cannondale is #3 recommended, based in Connecticut, sold 100% of company to Canadians. Giant is the world’s largest brand, but they’re entirely Taiwanese and a bit cheap.

Strava is by far the most popular cycling app

2018-07-09 21:57:33 UTC  

You're the best. Thank you much, I'm going to look into all this now!

When you buy a bike, ask the bike shop to “fit” the bike to you and ask them about local group rides. If you want to read a book about intro to cycling, I recommend <https://durianrider.com/products/durianriders-lean-body-bible> It also comes with a lot of nutrition advice which you are free to ignore (I like that part too)

If you want road cycling, you can enter at a variety of price points and still be fast. This would be a great start, let me know how that falls in your budget:

Just before I snapped this picture, the donkey was standing with his face against the fence in a hilarious pose because it was the only corner of the yard that had the least bit of shade.

That is crazy, 50 miles

2018-07-21 23:47:18 UTC  

Do you eat at all during ?

2018-07-22 00:58:19 UTC  

Yeah, I eat Clif bars or Gu gels or honey or Gatorade on rides longer than about 35 miles, else I run out of glycogen in my muscles.

2018-07-22 02:16:46 UTC
