Is there a way to enter a single race and not 'subscribe' for the year's events?

I recently entered an event. You apply for an entry, then you take a few hours to fill out a questionnaire showing your experience, fitness, decision making and practical knowledge of the event - that you have read the race manual end to end at least twice(40 page doc). Above is a screen shot of a literal question on entry application. Test of common sense...

that's where I got it from as well... But, as is done by most people looking to lose weight, first stop is a fad diet that comes with buying books, podcasts, blenders, special foods etc etc etc leaving them with a non sustainable way of life. Instead of paying a professional to get you eating the right food in the right volumes. My diet post seeing the dietician did not impact the rest of the family either. We still all eat the same food together. My ratios and volumes are just correct

I have always been of the opinion that you eat before during and immediately after the ride/run and then you incur your calorie deficit for the rest of the day. That way you get the most out of your ride and build some fitness. I don't fast, I usually just incur a small deficit across my standard eating pattern when I need to drop but I never ever incur a deficit around a training session. That being said this is usually done to tune up for an event, not to lose weight

this is too true. Saw many "aero bar" setups on the weekend that have zero effect other than putting weight on elbows and not wrists. There are so many where the riders back and head height is 100% the same. So there is no aero gain and not change in sit position. It actually looks ridiculous.

I think anything is better than nothing. Big issue is actually cycling's biggest issue. Standards, it needs to be made a standard so that first responders are only looking for 1 thing.

There are very specific times and places where looking the part is of any real value. Business and the odd other occasion. But almost all the other times practicality and comfort are king. Crocs just work for around the house and home office, the only people who hate them are people who haven't owned them yet...

Ya this hits home. Purists please look away. At one stage this was my loved bike, and it has seen many variations in the last 13 years... So once it was retired from racing it went back to it's standard wheels and climbed on the trainer where it has been for 6 years now. There was a hole rubbed through the frame during an adventure race in Scotland. Duct tape hid that at one stage 1x11 XT, running a road 11 Speed cassette and a 42 tooth front chainring. Shifter is held on with bits of motorbike clutch perch and cable ties. Brake delete was successful. Fork is locked out with an electrical connector and the stanchions are worn beyond repair. 1 Bottle cage is held on with a cable tie as I am too lazy to do a new rivnut. The cable tie was a quick plan mid ride 4 years ago My IDT area is in need of a massive clean looking at these photos.

that one excites me the most

this^^^ For wakeboarding and waterskiing as well

Well built and well finished, I hope it serves you well. One thing I think might also be a game changer for these setups if you don't have a tv or place for permanent tv setup. You can now get portable 2nd monitor screens. Just runs a usb from the laptop, no power supply cable or anything else. My wife uses hers when she works from coworking space. Means you can watch something and have zwift/rouvy etc on the "and why part". I have to admit to being one of those that could be guilty on the classified misbehaving thread. I bought my kicker back in 2017. I bought a bundle with a wahoo table and a kickr gen 1 for ± 10k back then. I resold the table separately a month later for 3500. Seeing prices today I should have held on to it.

I am not sure on the app, we usually use a browser for it

Momsen used to make a solid box for their frames that sat there. My frankenbike has one, works well. Properly rugged

Kyrgyzstan, good news
