Apparently no need to rinse with boiling water , just a wipe down and back into wax. The boiling water is if you want to “reset” the chain. This is according to Zero Friction anyway . I use the Molten Speed Wax. For the trainer bike, I use also use the Silca Super Secret as it lets messy from a flaking perspective. I’ve managed to get a wipperman link, which can be re-used safely. can’t understand why no one in SA sells them.

Another win for the Slovenian superstar with an attack on a 16 degree incline

Likewise !

Ah, thanks that could well be an option. I take it they have a route with 20 minute climb? , will check out myself . Never really took to Zwift.

A bit chilly in this wind but a nice little spin nonetheless

Where does one get these plugs? I have a monster fan that is quite chilly as our temps are now dropping so also wanting to avoid having to jump off bike to switch it on once I’ve warmed up. I generally don’t use any training platform as I run my own workouts but when I do use one it’s TP virtual as I have premium account BUT I need a better FTP test option though, always used the Kinglake test on Fulgaz but it’s such a waste to pay just for one workout

Remove inner sole, and inner can usually be peeled away to enable extraction of unit, often with difficulty though

I think those plates are universal so any shop will have them unless those shoes have specific plates which I doubt, I had the misfortune of stripping one on my road shoe and they were able to find me a replacement. Unlike the boa’s they do not carry any warranty though.

And there’s the Pog bomb, will they catch ? 15 secs

That could result in extra elevation! 🙈

Have not been there in ages . Some nice trails that side

Beautiful morning along the coast

Have they changed the route? I’ve heard from someone that there be some single track on this year

Or perhaps to someone that commutes so they can save on transport money basically a donation

having the route was indeed great, I actually missed one turn - was probably lost in my thoughts at the time as I was on my own - the garmin then prompted me to turn around.

Hopefully you had a saddle for the climb!

Horses for courses I guess

Aaah okay, makes sense

Some good input already given but , don’t increase your zone 3 , drop it down to zone 2 instead that’s the optimum zone. Zone 3 is often too hard and not hard enough which often means it’s wasted time. Current studies suggest that as a rule of thumb 80% of your training volume should be zone 2 with the balance across the higher zones , depending on what you’re training for and the specific requirements of the event.

743 tss. Goodness that’s high, what do you average ?

Apologies , meant “NOT” bad ! Definitely a great showing and an epic finishing duel was definitely on the cards,

We all know that you need a bit of luck to win PR, and that was the case today, take nothing away from MVP’s win but it could have played out differently. I’m sure Pogi will be back , but bad for his first attempt it must be said. The commentators mentioned that his race director should have warned him about the sharp right hander? 💁

There is a Bianchi in the classifieds being sold for well below market that has been professionally repaired, case in point.

A tough day in the saddle , but an enjoyable one. Surface was great, barring the sandy section mentioned above and perhaps a few areas where it was a bit bumpy, that climb at the end was a nice little sting 😳

I’m sure you can load / create workouts on the Garmin connect sync to device and control trainer from there?
