Careful now anon. You wouldn't want to disturb SI anon's grave...

I managed to get 30km/h average with some mild 5-6% climbs thrown in once. No 20 mph, but shit was cash nonetheless.

Feeling great this week. My car broke down last weekend so I've had to get a lift to work every morning and rode my bike home nearly every day.
Lot of shitty hills between my house and my work but I got some good rides, plenty of distance and some nice solid hills and am feeling fantastic.

I went for a 15-20 minute effort to benchmark where how slow I am right now and wew. I'm very slow.

I definitely felt an improvement compared to the last weeks but jaysus I used to be waaaay faster. I've yet to manage doing this climb in 12:30, but I don't know if that will be possible without going back to full-on mountain goating 15h a week.

>thinking that is the only way someone will be aware of shit like that

Not that I am particularly aware, but really I replace the main bearings (bottom bracket) that get fucked, fairly regularly. There is only so many wear items on a bike. I mean the cable snapping was just ignorance, I could've replaced it after like 10k miles but I didn't. It snapped somewhere internally so really even if I was lifting the brake hood rubbers up I wouldn't have seen it. The only other problem I have is I'm way too poor to afford new wheels so I end up riding 15-20k miles or more on a $300-500 wheelset. Obviously it'll be fucked after that. Everyone I know blames that on shit I said before lol

This guy seems weird, he has a bunch of KOMs where hes a lot faster than anyone else on some segments but all his rides are less than 20 km and are pretty much only on those segments.
Some of them are also split KOMs with banned(I think) users

Then gain I'm overweight, it was 34 degrees Fahrenheit, I have no mountains at home to train on and it was on the 4th day of a cycling holiday so I have a few excuses, I think.

Got a 120 km ride in yesterday during the only non-windy day this week. Managed a 2nd overall on another seldom run segment, just 15 attempts by 6 people, 9 of which are mine. I don't think many people are aware the road that segment leads to was paved 2 years ago.

Wind will be 60 gusting to 80 km/h today and a little less than that most of the weekend.

I'm in the top 3. Where I live is insanely windy so my rides rarely average higher than 18. Only time it gets higher than that is in a race or our practice "race" my bike friends have here where we go hard for about 20 miles I think? With like 10 miles of conversational pace.

I keep trying. I felt better for a few days, burying my head in the sand and deluding myself into thinking I have a future of some kind. Its amazing how quickly the mood can change when the immediate feelings of worthlessness and no hope are removed. I even meditated the past few days and felt a lot better inside. But you can't hide for long. It comes back stronger. Bottom line - No Future. Just fucking trapped. Don't want to be NEET, don't want to be a fucking wageslave. Want independence so fucking badly, don't want to leave the house. Its catch 22 all the way

I know that feel bro lmoa. Also that nifty feeling when you've been casually spinning at 250 watts for the last 3 and a half hours and some guy passes you panting and then you just cruise at lower zone 2 and drop him while he grimaces and shouts "dude! It's not a race and I've been out for 45 minutes already!"

I've been having trouble with Strava for the last couple months. Started using it last summer and always got a gps signal immediately but now it takes forever to get one and I always have to start my phone anew everytime and even that doesn't always get me a signal. Also the last routes it often happend that it lost the signal during cycling, which never happend before and I always drive the same routes.
Got a new phone recently too and the problems are still there so it can't have anything to do with the phones.
