The Ouzo

me too, and if I survive going up, I'd love to descend it with closed roads

who did the timing in 2021 ? because thats when we got the timing boards. actually just checked, I downloaded the (useless) app in '21 and I see its Finish time

also have a championchip in the cupboard. One of the races over the years used them

was watching a youtube the other day, looks like most have switched to tubeless, most common width being 28mm.

I'm also still using my old yellow one for racetec races. (well at least I was)

If they bought Racetec then hopefully they can carry the Racetec DB over to the new system, would hate to lose 20 years of results. If I'm not mistaken they currently time the 947, so I have a seat post mounted chip/number. But their results page is utter crap.

I think this is most likely why your damage is worse than others. My guess would be a combination of the the VPS vinyl on the tailgate as well as one of those PEP grey blankets.

I think they've realised that at the current level of bike weights, more aero trumps marginal weight advantage.

this has been my fear since I got mine a number of years back. Seems like such a flimsy design.

only way to get stress levels down is to change jobs. I've been trying to do that for a long time. Diet, yeah, I know it needs work.

varies all the time we're early birds, generally in bed by 9, so around 3.5 hours after last meal. through the roof. this is a high stress job

again, thanks for sharing. Amazing resilience.

Sleep is something that eludes me often. But I did find when I tried a magnesium supplement last year that it helped my sleep. Anyway, I went ahead and bought a course of Slowmag. Let see if it helps.

I dont buy coffee. I contemplated signing up to GCN+ for this, but honestly its not something that I can afford to do right now, so its a nice to have rather than a need. Its not the end of the world if I miss out on the live racing, can always catch highlights later on.

Thanks for the input so far. I have no doubt my diet is far from ideal, part of the reason I can never be rid of my spare tyre, hence the reason I'm looking at supplements. Ideally I should change my diet, but... but .... but...

What is everyone using on a day to day basis to make sure the body has what it needs ? Have been feeling rather drained and i suspect I probably need something to help the body cope. Magnesium suplements seem to talk to the symptoms I'm having (lethargic, trouble sleeping, restless legs). But before I go and buy whatever product has the best marketing, would love to hear what everyone else recommends

so I'm trying to watch on tiz. It plays for a few minutes and then stops. anyone else have this issue ? am trying through a VPN, trying various countries, and have tried without VPN

so you need to kill a chicken in order to get the egg ? Damn us city guys know nothing about farming, always though eggs were "pooped" out

I'm greek, I borrow the sheep sheers from the local farmer 🤣 hows that for tying it back to the topic?

that depends on how hairy you are I guess.

its not just cycling though, happens in all fields

there is always somebody offended by something these day.

might as well cycle naked because surely synthetic materials also have an overall environmental impact

100% agree with this post
