the claims are bold, and likely true. Grand Prix 5000 vs 4000 SII12% better rolling resistance20% better puncture protection-10g lighter [25-622]Increased comforti have never had a days trouble with my GP4000Sii tires - best in the business i think my current set have done 3000km plus and are still looking good. not a single puncture. once my current set are dead (and my extra set of GP4000Sii tires are also dead) i will try out the GP5000's. if they are as good as the GP4000ii then they will be fantastic.

bought one of these again today. no idea why but i seem to loose these every single time i need it. i have 2 that are hiding somewhere - this in now the 3rd.

i'd happily buy a canyon. but not now. At the moment both the aeroad and ultimate have been around for 4 years. canyon need to keep up with changes made from other big names. when they do (rumour is middle of next year) i will be looking hard at the bike

Oh my... I need a few moments to compose myself after seeing that. Many safe miles

I panicked and bought the new wahoo kickr with a wahoo climb unit. Arrives sometime today. Super excited

Stans race is pathetic. You are better off using water I used it and it could not seal a pin hole puncture right in the middle of the thread. It did in the end seal at around 1 bar. Thankfully I was only 2 km from home. When I got home I put more in and pumped the tire up to 7 bar. I then stood the wheel with the puncture at the bottom. Next morning all the sealant was in my garage floor

pity they weigh so much. 300g for a 25mm is quite portly

yep. have yet to find sealant that actually works at pressure. i had a small puncture and all my stans road sealant came out. i've now just put in OKO - i hope this does the trick

tried the longer FTP test after flying to and from CT the day before. had to bail out on the effort. had no go!

bang on 3w/kg. in theory i should be able to do 3.4w/kg but i have never done my actual FTP for a full hour

So i finally got the time to ride Alpe du Zwift. 1h6min21sec @ Avg HR of 72% the HR is low as i did not know how i would handle grinding for 1 hour straight. was able to lift the power slightly for the last 10min. its tough work! next target is to break 1 hour

to add. there is no rule about a car stopping to admire a view while going the correct way around the loop. so if a cyclist bombing down a hill goes into the rear of a car - it's the cyclists mistake. #whatsthespeedlimit?

def not ok. people will get hurt

Golden Cheetah works great on my mac? also imports all my rides automatically for me

Rode it. loved it. was dangerous. effectively the elites had a few cat racers included in their ranks. the weekend warriors race was dangerous at best. slower riders started getting lapped on their first lap! going past that many people with those speed differentials was very very dangerous

480 in the weekend warrior cat

so i called. the elite race is a go. but all sub cats have been bundled into the weekend warrior cat.

So. all the race groups have been scrapped due to a lack of interest. which now means my ride gets stuffed up to as all the elites and race riders now start in the "weekend warrior" category. I was rather hoping to have some fun this Sunday. now i'm worried its all going to be torn apart in a few short moments due to the now massive fitness differences. Lovely. I am giving serious though to giving this a skip

so in a moment of foolishness i did a super-tuck on my Look 586 this weekend. i can confirm three things: its feels fast. my frame did not crack. no one saw me.

of all the memories you chose to keep in your mind palace, why do you keep that one stored?

also entered as a weekend warrior. no idea what its going to be like

new update seems to be fantastic. i now no longer struggle to pick up my sensors. AMEN!

stage 7. 10min effort at the end sucked. went to bed with throbbing legs last night

end of Sept

i had planned to do this, but it would compromise me finishing my zwift academy i still need to do: last 4 workouts 2 group rides 2 races
