Thought you were just making a statement, not a question. One week of unusually warm November weather here, then back to more typical temperature. Goal for today's ride is to check out construction progress on the rail line through the valley going from Belle Plaine to the K+S mine.

Horses are amazing animals but oh boy are they scary when they panic next to you. Especially when they're on asphalt and you can hear every single frantic hoof stomp loudly next to you. Especially when you're clipped into your bike and it's pitch black save for the lights you and the other rider have.

An early 57 km this morning before wind was forecast to be 40 gusting to 60. -3 °C with a 30 kph wind when I left the house, so I immediately went back in and put on my winter tights. Today's ride makes 14,000 km for the year. Tail end of the forecast for the next week shows the first significant snow of the fall.

I just crashed at 50kph, and somehow me and the bike are fine. Just a sore hip from the landing.

it happened on a descent on a very nice cleared cycling path, suddenly exactly where the path makes a turn around a bus stop its suddenly a sea of leaves, couldnt see at all where the path went. Saw myself heading for a signpost and braked in panic, but of course braking with slicks does not work on wet leaves. I smashed down on my right side and my helmet took quite a hit too, slid a nice amount before coming to a standstill. Somehow none of my clothing is damaged and I couldnt find anything on my bike that seemed wonky. I think I was saved the slippery leaves, allowing me to slide on them instead of the road. And probably the helmet of course. A nice woman who saw it came running out of her car and didnt believe me when I said I was okay kek.

Id like to think im going to be more careful next time, but I dont anything can be done about rogue leaves like these. Maybe not riding in autumn and especially not in the dark.

So nice to ride on a low wind day for a change. Did 130 km half paved / half gravel. Slow leak on my rear tire, but it held good pressure most of the ride. I've had so many punctures this past month. Though I think a few of them were my fault for not checking if there was more than one hole in a tube I was patching.

the problem might be pressure in tires, short travel forks rarelly causes crashes if the rebound is not super fast. what tires and what pressure?

Also, they way you save rear slipouts is to move the front - e.g. your rear slipped to the left, you should have steered to the right with front tire to get the body mass back to the center of the bike, that way you move the G force on the tires and allow them to do the job of regaining traction...youll get it with practice.

Is your trainer very old? It looks a lot better than mine. And, well, I can't really tell since I've never had one before, so I figured it is supposed to be harder to pedal on the trainer than it would be on the road. I do know that you're supposed to use the gears to regulate your effort. I'm guessing it guess easier as you use it.

I've had my v-brakes get sticky due to water getting into the pivot bushings (they pivot on bushing not the brake posts). I took them off and worked in some triflow through a teeny gap to get them moving smooth again.

And then have it freeze within 5 minutes of taking it back outside. It's inside but in a garage that's not heated. Besides freezing and melting a bike over and over again isn't the best option.

>>1026862
I'm pretty sure it's frozen water in the cables/levers somewhere along the way. The brake caliper and derailleur work just fine when activating them with hands but the levers are stuck. I'll have to open them at some point and figure out what is the problem.

While I'm about 1/3 of the wai into the intersection, the car starts rolling at me. I frantically dinged my bell to no affect. I realized I had to think like a cager to avert a crash, so I flipped the guy off. The cager promptly stopped and honked at me, while I smiled at my smug superiority, and rode off.

I've had so many flat tires in the past month. Yet another one today, a piece of steel belting wire stuck in the tire. Really easy to find as the area around it was blasted with talc. Its getting too cold to be fixing flats.

Wind was gusting to beyond 50 kph, which meant a really slow ride out and a really fast ride back. It rained last night so I picked up a lot of mud going past a construction area.

I've been picking up McDonalds Monopoly pieces while I'm out riding. I have an entire board filled just from the pieces I found on the side of the road, probably have enough extras for a 2nd board. That is all the pieces EXCEPT the rare ones needed to win anything. Also found a few free burgers, fries and a drink along with a 3 month trial for a magazine app.

Chilly 3 hour ride today, my Garmin temp ranged between -4 °C and +1. Temperature went up and down throughout the ride with the warmest being somewhere in the middle. Aside from my hands being cold on and off it didn't feel too bad. Highest temp I see in the forecast is 5 °C, no snow yet.

-3 °C with a 20 kph wind and I was much colder than yesterday's cold ride despite being out for less than half the time. That's what I get for starting the ride off by going down wind.

-14 for tonight, so tomorrow morning I'll go for my coldest ride of the season.

50 km with the temperature starting at -8 °C warming up to -5 by the time I got home with the wind between 20 and 30 kph. Come February that would practically be t-shirt weather, but it felt pretty cold today. About 12 km into the ride I encountered a long train and had to do some loops to keep from getting too cold.

For me it always feels coldest before the snow arrives. I think that is because the extra rolling resistance from snow both slows you down and makes you work harder, reducing windchill and increasing heat generated.

No Garmin? Why? Is your mind so weak that a little bike pc controls you? Not me, mate. I ride how I want to ride, period. All that little bike pc does is record what I do, not tell me what to do. Grow a pair, mate. Quit fucking around with pizza stickers and cool bar tape and get some miles. Maybe you don't like the garmin because it proves how few miles you ride. Riding .3 miles to the star bucks on the corner doesn't add up to big miles, mate. If you think this is silly now, wait a few years, and when you finally actually square up, you'll read my words and thing I'm a fucking sage. But in reality, I just have common sense. So remember, dump the stickers, the pizza, the selfies, and log some fucking miles. And post them online for others to gauge, that is unless you don't have what it takes. And if that's the case, might as well keep the pizza stickers and keep playing grab ass with your friends at star bucks.

I encountered a singletrack course yesterday in the forest and had a go. Holy fuck that was insanely fun and very intense, did 3 laps of the 7km track and only stopped because it was getting dark. One of the laps I was following a speeddemon around which showed me just how fast I could throw the bike in the corners, which was cool and improved my speed dramatically. But like typical mountainbikers, these shits were very slow once they actually had to put in power.

Next time I should take off my kickstand and mudguards.

Light dusting of snow this morning. It was gone by the time I finished my ride. The snow concealed the fact the graders were about again messing up the nice smooth gravel roads. Once the snow melted wet sand / clay started clinging to my tires slow things down a bit.

Broke my best monthly distance for the year today. I'm within a reasonable distance of my all time single month PR. But the weather has been unpredictable and generally worse than forecast lately.

Plenty of long solo rides to cancel out the days I don't ride. I have 45 rides longer than 100 km this year. I try to get out for a few hours most days regardless of weather. I live on the edge of town so it makes going out quite easy. I might be deterred more often if I lived in a dense high traffic area.

Unless you are riding a road bike on the highway, riding time is probably a better goal to set than distance.

One thing I've noticed is that whenever you feel "too tired to go for a ride" or "aren't in the mood", just go away as you'll rarely regret it.

Winter's just struck here so my morning ride has hit a whole new level of comfy (pic related). But fuck me if it isn't cold, even with thick gloves my fingers got frozen stiff. How do you guys keep your extremities warm?

If you'd experienced it you'd understand. Certainly for me frost, cold air and short days hold a certain nostalgic beauty. The same reason I like hiking in the snow - it can be painful, but the emotional response is usually more immediate than what my body's feeling.

Set out yesterday to do December's Strava Gran Fondo, but I was slow and my legs were stiff so I only did about 50 km. Today I went out to do it and I was still slow, but finished it anyway. I think the slowness may have be partly due to running my marathon winter tires at too low a pressure. The sidewalls are very stiff, so I imagine if the pressure is low enough to induce flexing it just eats your watts. I should have just run them at the max rated pressure like I normally do. Slowness might also be related to rotating through 3 of my bikes this week making my legs have to keep readjusting.

Temperature for the entire 5 hour ride was between -3 and -4 °C, with freezing drizzle constantly getting on my glasses for the first 2 hours. But with the temperature forecast to drop to -20 °C early next week I wanted to get my 12th Gran Fondo of the year out of the way.

Opted for the respirator today due to a 25 kph wind in addition to -20 °C temp. Keeps face warm, and glasses mostly free of fogging. One notable downside is the inability to drink, really need to get a straw. Added suspenders to my non-bib winter tights a few years back when I got tired of them catching on the saddle nose.

The UA Base 4.0 baselayer is super toasty. Legs were nice and warm. But upper body was too hot even with just 2 layers and my jacket left unzipped halfway most of the ride, should have wore my UA Base 2.0. Overheating was certainly due to the one factor I have the most difficulty planning for, exertion level. I always generate tons of heat riding the fat bike.

The huge volume of fat bike tires makes them dramatically affect by temperature swings. The 20 °C drop in temperature since the last time I used it made the tires far more squishy than I would have liked. But once I got going I didn't want to stop and screw around with a mini-pump.

Not a pleasant feeling. Sometimes you can stop and break the ice so it falls off which helps. Starting next Monday it is supposed to be around -9 °C for at least a week which will be fantastic. I sign up for the Festive 500 every year, but have never come remotely close to finishing it. This year should be no different.

Froze my forehead again, its like poorman's botox. The ride started off so nice at -16 °C, then the wind kicked up to 50 kph. I need to hurry up and finish the contents of the clear 2L bottle I bought yesterday so I can make a visor.

Pop bottle visor worked pretty damn well. The plastic thickness isn't complete uniform so it distorts vision a little, so I'd recommend spending a few bucks and going to hardware store for a replacement visor they sell for full face shields. I just stuck it on using 3M Mounding Tape which is double sided with a bit of foam in the middle.

Kept upper part of my face and forehead much warmer. Which had the side effect of making my nose much less runny. Another thing I didn't expect is that when going down wind it catches some wind from behind directing it across my face which helps keep my glasses from fogging. Side of my face got cold in a cross wind, more of a wrap around would probably fix that. Great hitting the wind head on.

I just need to tape off the lower half of the front vents on my helmet and I should be good.

It's a temporary experiment. They're testing out whether people will actually use it enough, and then they'll build the real thing... allegedly. Right now they just laid down some asphalt on a portion of it. You should see the rest, it's even worse.

Quit my messenger job last month and getting less km in my legs now, but I think thats actually better for performance as I get to ride fast now.
Also changed my tyres from the Mavic ones I had to GP4000s, they feel a lot better than the mavics.
Getting a new hrm very soon, and most likely a stages power meter once I get the money...

I also moved a bed 5 km with my bike a few days ago

Wear loose pants. You want as much bloodflow as you can. Wear winter shoes - there are good ones and bad ones. Properly isolate the steel SPD mounting plate and fill the slots in with something isolating. Wear thicker socks in bigger shoes.
If all else fail, go cliplessless in softer shoes that allow you to move you feet.

First two rides of the year were on my rollers. Spent a bit of time doing some 80 rpm riding in my highest gear. I could use a bit more resistance for low cadence riding. But in that gear once I hit 100 rpm my HR gets up to almost 180. On the rollers only the 4-5 highest gears on the bike are of any use.

I've wondered if one could use that their advantage to be extra hydrated before a long ride. A cursory search didn't yield any relevant results.

Go slow on your ride to work.
Don´t ride in your work clothes.
Have a washcloth and a towel at work. Use those to wipe your sweaty areas before changing into work clothes.

That works for me, though i gotta say i don´t sweat that much.
If there´s truly no space for you to change clothes you can do that on the toilet. Well, thats what comes to mind. Never had a workplace totally without any kind of room i could use for changing. But showers at work are kinda uncommon in my corner of the universe.

I've realized I can ride without sweating, but I have to ride with very little effort keeping my HR no higher than about 120 bpm. It is surprisingly hard to do because I always want to go fast. The funny thing is even riding with little effort it isn't as slow as you'd think. Its amazing how much extra effort you need to go just a little bit faster.

Went snowshoeing a few hours this morning to pack down a path to fat bike on. I should have waited until tomorrow to ride on it though. The snow was too soft and needs to firm up overnight. The snowshoe trails I made earlier in the week were nice and firm. I have to avoid getting too carried away riding on those trails, if I veer outside the path and have to put a foot down I'm in snow up to my knee.

It was almost too warm today getting up to -4 °C. Some above freezing days this week so I might squeeze in a long ride on a less fat bike.

I can't comment on the trainer, but Zwift has been great for getting my FTP up without the distractions of traffic and frost dick. The group rides and segment records really do good at breaking up the monotony of pedaling away in my living room.

If you haven't used a trainer yet, it does take a while to get over the "torture machine" feeling of the bike staying stationary all the time.

I currently weigh 250 pounds and I went riding on a bike for the first time in a decade the other day. After like 30 minutes I was too sore to continue. It's a mountain bike and outside of buying some biking shorts what can I do to help relieve the pressure? Is it something you just get a tolerance for in time?

1. you will need padded shorts- you can get some for <$10 on amazon or ebay but the sizing may not be right. Sometimes academy or dicks have them for $20ish. 2. Seats are a very personal preference- unfortunately you have to try many to find one that fits your body. 3. MTB saddle is never really gonna feel good but you should be able to find something that doesn't cause pain. I weigh about half of you and this feels good to me. Its a tri seat but i use it for mtb.

Between schedule issues and road conditions I finally got in my first decent road ride of the year, just 25 miles but I picked a route that took me over pretty much all the big hills near me, so plenty of effort expending and the distance was just right given today's cold and wind . Felt really good, found I'm in better mid-winter condition than I expected I would be given that I've barely been doing 30 miles/week commuting lately, haven't been out on a decent ride in almost 4 weeks. I'll chalk it up to all the CX riding I did in November and early December, and the little bits of running and hiking I've done since then.

This was also the first time I tried using the Bar Mitts I got (myself) for Christmas on a proper road ride, if anything actually they're too warm to use when it's 33 and windy out, I had to take my gloves off entirely for the second half of the ride, and deliberately rode down the last big descent with bare hands to get rid of excess heat and moisture.

No on-ride pic but here's the bike I was on, with the BMs installed.

Longest ride of the year today, 53 km. Not as warm as yesterday but I could still dress lightly. Quite a bit of splatter riding in the city. Back alleys were good for riding with firm packed snow and no slush.

I've spent the last few years feeling really self-conscious, because I see people post their average speeds all the time, and mine is so much slower.

But it dawned on me recently that I ride a hybrid bike, and when I looked into what the average mph for most people was, I was at the higher end.

Wow. I got right hooked by a van that was trying to cut into an alley, while I was riding on the bike lane, which is normally divided physically in that area. My CAAD10 is kill as well. The insurance company is trying to jew me as well by only paying "market value," which I find unfair since I nearly got killed for my troubles. I hope it goes to court and we sue the fuck out of them.

Too much riding and snowshoeing the past 11 days. I was feeling slow yesterday, but today it was very apparent that I was in need of a rest day. All the fat biking I've been doing the past week has been like going out and doing hills.

Just went for my first bike ride in over ten years. It was only a 3.25 mile round trip, and it was on an old English 3-speed that only has high gear so the inclines were kinda shitty, but it was a start. I can't wait for the replacement indicator spindle to get here so I can get more out of this bike and get more in shape.

Just got to start riding like this every single day.

I was planning to cancel my Strava premium this year when I got the renewal billing notice. But I saw it in the list of my credit card transactions, so I guess they don't tell you ahead of time they are going to bill you anymore. So I emailed them to downgrade and unbill me. Even after going from premium to the free account you can still view your personal heat maps if you have the url, just can't update them.

Didn't ride last two days because I was removing stucco from ceiling of an entire floor. Using a pole mounted drywall screen with vacuum hose on a ceiling is very tiring.

Today I rode my fat bike around with 11F/12R psi in the tires which was faster but much less cushy. Still debating whether I should drive 250 km for a 50 km fat bike ride on Sunday.

Holy fuck /drt/, had such a great ride today. Finally caught a break with the weather and went out with 4 of my teammates. Racked up 110km and hit some strava sections pretty hard. All the winter training paid off, we were flying in the 40-50 kph zone in a few parts, dusting freds in our path.

Only sucky part is that the city still hasn't cleared the bike lanes of debris from >2 weeks ago. There's about 10mm of sand in some pretty fast corners. Mother fuckers.

Went 1 km around noon, said fuck it and turned around. Too much wind to be at all enjoyable.

But then around 4 pm it was much better so I went for a ride on the MUP. It got too warm and the packed snow on the side streets was getting soft so tires would sink into it making control very difficult to maintain. Back to colder temps in a few days which will mean lots of icy ruts.

Was cold and really windy so I decided to run a few miles on a treadmill for the first time in about 10 years. Riding a lot definitely doesn't make running any easier. Quads are much more sore than after even a hard ride.

Decided to keep on running this week since despite making my legs incredibly sore I didn't feel it while out riding in the cold. Ran 1 mile first day with a 2nd after a brief walk. Then 2 miles straight second day, 3 the 3rd and 4 the 4th. Should be good for a marathon by the end of the month. In the past whenever I built up to 1.5 hours running the tedium of it all just becomes unbearable even with a tv. After doing 5 tomorrow I'll probably bump the speed up from 5 mph rather than going longer.

The roads are in rather shitty condition at the moment for winter cycling. Lumpy icy ruts everywhere. If I wasn't using my studded fat bike it would induce much sphincter clenching. The back alleys are in pretty good, still packed with snow and didn't melt much. Just enough snow forecast tomorrow to hide the uneven ice on the roads, but not enough to smooth it out.

About 12 cm of snow yesterday. I went for a fat bike ride early this morning before the MUP gets plowed. Lots of light reflecting off the snow so I didn't even need a light. It was slow going, about 8.5 - 9 kph, and around 11 kph riding back along my track. Did the entire 73 min ride without unclipping once.

Just started running myself as it's less hassle than biking off-road in the dark, mud and rain. My legs are fucking killing me for days after and I'm only running a few miles 3 times a week.
Do you guys do some sort of weight lifting as well as cardio? I'm thinking of some dumbbell workouts. I'm a total noob to training as usually just ride for fun but would like to get fitter for biking

I've never tried weights.

I've run every day since Wednesday, the soreness went away by the 4th day.

Tried running at 5.5 mph on the treadmill today, considerably more sweating for me. Only ran for around 1.5 miles at a time before taking a few minute walking break. 5 miles total while watching a bit of Enter the Dragon on AMC (far too many commercials). A few days adjusting to that speed I should be able to run an hour continuous, maybe.

The last few times I took jogging before I started cycling I found the more I run the longer it takes for the endorphins to kick in. Early on I'd get into the groove after about 15 minutes then it would gradually push out to 30, 45 minutes. I notice the same thing riding but its more subtle due to the low impact.

I squat, use the leg press machine, lateral band walks, and calf exercises (standard calf raises and eccentric heel drops)

It's difficult to climb after lifting on the same day, so I don't. The day after hurts if you're not used to it but you get used to it and it's fine.

Yeah I thought I was going to die tonight running the first mile round the park in the dark in the pissing rain, then boom got into a bit of a pace and ran some more with extra energy. I haven't ran for about 20 years I'd imagine so it's a bit odd using non biking muscles. Gonna stick at it and obviously get more than a couple of miles in on my running days.

>>1046840
My plan is to do some light cardio (jogging) during the week as I'm out walking the dog normally anyway so spending that time running instead of walking should improve my fitness a bit.
Weights I plan to do 3 times a week but try and keep away from doing them on the run up to the weekend as that's when I get time to ride and I don't want tired legs ruining my weekend riding. Started squatting, but mostly upper body but I really have no idea what's good to compliment cycling fitness. I'm guessing just being stronger from weight lifting and fitter from running will be helpful. I'm thinking the upper body strength will help me out with the longer downhill (mtbiking) sections as my arms and legs just go numb after a while.

Whatever you're weakest at. Or if in doubt, squats and deadlifts.

I hate these temperature swings as they are typically associated with huge winds. Supposed to be a relatively calm period late tonight that I could go ride in when the wind drops to around 30 kph.
