Frosty

No photo finish drama for Pidcock this year.

60.5Km to go for the men at Amstel Gold. Will see how far I get riding with Anna Amber, before they cross the line. I’m guessing 48-50Km for me. Made it to 50.5Km

Lorena Wiebes has won a few races in her time, but she made an error in only looking on her right side, as Vos came over on her left side. School girl error.

7th place for Ashleigh.

SD Worx doing a Alaphilippe… premature celebration of the win. well done Vos for racing all the way to the line.

It would have been an added bonus if Tread Mag published the series dates in the same article, to help guide the decision on how many “monthly subscriptions” would be required, vs. an annual one.

I’ll stay with my current bank that’s financing my home loan.

It’s been a while since I’ve completed a (metric) century. Seems summer came to an abrupt end… one layer to three.

Replace lighter with red, and you have less perception.

StayLive is as follows:

I used Stan Sport to watch the Rugby World Cup 2023. R114 for 30 days use, plus a 14-day free trial for the 6 weeks.

Maybe missing a digit… 0 or worse, k

And here I thought it was just a sticka that one peels off.

Hard luck on the actual incident. Never nice to read about it, let alone see it happen. Motivation and expectation can be interlinked to some extent. Expectations can influence motivation by shaping what one perceives as achievable or a desirable outcome. So you may need to lower your expectations (fitness level, duration, and effort levels) so it feels more motivating to achieve but not too low that it feels like a waste of time and motivation disappears. Talking to others helps too, so it’s great you’re reaching out. find your fun, and have fun.

There’s a short series on Red Bull TV with behind the scenes from 2023 DHI season.

I’d imagine it’s more about fine tuning his XCO skills than general fitness. He seems more “ready to race” now compared to previous years.

I know a guy that logged some high speed train trips, in China, using his Apple Watch. 100 points for “speed data only” workouts, which I think needs to be >18km/h for 30+ minutes. The other three workouts are genuine activities, so if it ever gets questions, it’s above board. Just saying that the speed data only is a farce. Tuesday afternoon’s “e-bike ride”. And yes, I believe it’s been deleted from Strava. 😂😂

I have two brothers in the UK, but I am sorted for now without having go the Discovery+ route. If I struggle with the TdF, I know there’s an another alternative.

I paid about R114 (AU$9.99) for Stans Sport in Australia to watch the Rugby World Cup last year, in HD (1080p), with very little buffering. 2 weeks free trial and 30 days at AU$9.99 How ironic that used the Supersport feed, i.e. commentary and pop up adverts (split screen). They show all rugby as well as other sports, TV and movies. If they can offer it, surely the local monopoly can/could do the same.

for me, it’s R1100 every two year, so R45/month. Negligible amount.

Every year, I wish for no crashes in the Tour, and that the best rider wins. Seems this needs to be extended to the whole season.

Hump-day humour 😂

💯 July 2018 (post Tour) was when I ditched their service. It was R969/month at the time. Current spend on streaming is R270/month (two providers), so savings is R750/month (rounded) or R54k by July this year. Also no going back for me.

Have been riding on IndieVelo for a while now, using MacOS. Suits my needs for an easy group ride of up to 90-mins.
