  1. I guess it depends on what kind of workout you're trying to do. If you find the right pace partner then steady state is very possible. You might just yo-yo off the front but once you hit the wind the group will catch you, you'll sit in the draft and go off the front again. Rinse and repeat. I think the best kind of work out for pace partner rides is short 15-30 second sprints off the front, then sit up, get caught, recover, repeat. Anything like 5 minute VO2max sessions and you'll just drop the group entirely and not benefit from that sweet sweet drops multiplier
  2. De Bod, Hatherly, Reinardt JvR, Pritzen aaaand Munton. Some big hitters for sure! Should make for some very exciting racing. The last 20km probably doesn't suit a solo rider, but a strong breakaway on the last climb could hold off a peloton. 🤷‍♀️ Excited to see how things pan out
  3. Not sure if I'm excited or terrified but something is happening...
  4. Ah man, I remember old Deefs. The king of photoshop. I had many good laughs at that man's expense
  5. I used my phone as a mobile hotspot once when my wifi was being funny and over 2 hours it didnt use more than 100MB. That's for Zwift, I can't comment on MyWhoosh but seeing as a lot of stuff is done server-side I'd imagine it would use marginally more
  6. Before doing anything you might regret, try cutting strips of kinesio tape and applying it to the levers. It's designed to still adhere in wet conditions, it's cheap, and a whole roll will last you years
  7. Hard to argue with this
  8. Sheesh, they aren't shy with their minimum specs hey! I'm grateful that Zwift runs on my potato PC
  9. Let us know how it goes. I looked into it a little while ago and it looks like they've pumped a lot of money into it recently. Apparently they have some of the biggest prize purses in e-racing and have serious ambitions of taking over the professional scene
  10. Congrats! For the 100 mile kit, join a double draft group ride/event and you'll be done in 4 hours. Just have plenty of fluids on hand haha!
  11. Many roads lead to the rainbow bands, but not all rainbow bands are equal. Gravel is a thing you do on a bicycle so if that's your jam I support you, get out there and ride a bike, but having a world championship for something isn't going to validate it in the eyes of the naysayers.
  12. This looks like an older model but this guy had some luck, but like JA-Q001 said getting hold of the batteries is nigh on impossible and putting batteries on airplanes is frowned upon
  13. Hey guys, I'm looking for an 8 speed MTB rear derailleur. A friend's sister had a checkers packet fly into her drivetrain yesterday and as a result of everything getting clogged up the derailleur snapped in half. Drop me a PM if you have one you want to get rid of and we can talk prices etc. I'd just like to get her back on the road. I'm sure 9 speed would work too
  14. +1 for a USB extension. Wrap the dongle and the socket in clingwrap for errant sweat drops and put it right by the trainer
  15. Well I'll be damned! Gravel bike owners rejoice!
