  1. This is why I take everything that Nate says with a grain of salt. As the CEO of TR he should leave the talking to the pro's and coaches. I don't dislike the the guy, but I don't think his voice adds any value to the talks.
  2. When Nate Pearson from TrainerRoad entered the Epic with Sofia Gomez Villafane as his partner in 2021, he was way out of his depth. There is no way he could ever have matched her on a technical level.
  3. What is the point? I use Elite Smart Rollers. One of the huge benefits is that it forces you activate your core and improve your pedal stroke. This is the same as clipping your bike into a conventional Kickr. Once I switched to full rollers my pedal stroke improved dramatically.
  4. I would say keep you rides casual and take your time. Like the guys said, make sure you're comfortable on the road bikes. If not then you are better off using your MTB's and having a fun day in the saddle. Good luck, massive FOMO on my side. Hopefully back in SA 2023 to get that Sub3.
  5. 1X Teaspoon Salt 2X Tablespoon Maple Syrup 650ml Water
  6. Getting in some final rides before the snow comes.
  7. Pic is of my buddy. He ordered them from bikeinn.com
  8. Saw some deer on a ride. Stopped to take pictures but they ran off like it was hunting season. Can you spot the White Tail?
  9. Annual service, road bike. Bike stripped cleaned and re-assembled. New chain, tyres, brake pads, cables and bar tape. Cassettes and chainrings last about 3-4 years. New wheels every 4-5 years. I just replaced my old Deda cockpit that lasted well over 10 years.
  10. I used one in the Netherlands. They are amazing bikes. The only drawback is that the battery can't be removed for charging. So if you don't have to carry it upstairs then you're good to go.
  11. Merino Baselayer and Castelli Gabba will get through anything. In Canada 14C and up - Short sleeves + Shorts (Arm warmers if it's early morning) 10C to 14C - Long Sleeves (Castelli Spring Jacket) + Shorts 5C to 10C - Base layer + Long Sleeves + Tights ( I don't like leg warmers) 0C to 5C - Base Layer + Winter Jacket (Castelli Espresso 2) + Tights -10C to 0C - Base layer x2 - Winter Jacket (Castelli Espresso 2) + Tights x2 (Second bib no chamois)
  12. As much as 600 000 bikes are stolen in the Netherlands annually. In Canada it is also a huge problem were thieves will break into your shed steal bikes and power tools. Where there are hungry mouths to feed and no steady income theft is present. Welcome to planet Earth!
