There are really two things to talk about today, and one of them is far more interesting than the other. The first is that TrainingPeaks Virtual actually has an option, which I’ve never noticed before, that allows me to use the power meter as the primary source when available. I’m not entirely sure what this ... Read more ..read more

Over the Christmas break, while I was off the bike, I wasn’t completely away from cycling. I spent quite a lot of time watching YouTube videos on both outdoor and indoor riding. One of the recommended videos was about racing on MyWhoosh. As I watched the video, I got curious about the creator’s other content, ... Read more ..read more

I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, and I finally got around to it today—installing TrainingPeaks Virtual and getting in a couple of rides on it. There’s loads to discuss because it’s new software that I’ve never tried before. This isn’t going to be a comprehensive review, just my initial thoughts. To sum ... Read more ..read more

This is my first ride of 2025, and it’s also my first ride in quite a while. I wouldn’t say I’ve been completely lazy, as I’ve been going on fairly regular hour-to-two-hour walks. However, the fitness graphs don’t lie—my overall fitness has been trending downwards. I knew I needed to get back on the bike. ... Read more ..read more

If I had to sum up this ride, it would be “classic Chris.” Having been off the bike for a couple of weeks due to illness and then a bout of laziness, what I probably should have done is either a low or medium-intensity ride. Perhaps, as I originally thought a few days ago, I ... Read more ..read more

A lower intensity ride today. I had to work through this one so it was a bit of a double edged sword – needing something sufficient to break a sweat whilst still being capable of typing and concentrating. I think this was a pretty good workout in that regard. Being that I was working I ... Read more ..read more

Today’s ride was intended to be a steady state, moderate ride. I’d say it was on the higher end of that spectrum as I accidentally picked the 2.9w/kg bots instead of the 2.6w/kg, and for the first few minutes I wasn’t sure how long I might be able to hold on to them. I still ... Read more ..read more

After a heavy week’s eating birthday junk food, I felt the need to get in a proper session today. A climbing session to sweat out the pizza. Well, I’m still nowhere near where I was when it comes to climbing. Right now I do wonder how I used to manage a steady hour up Alpe ... Read more ..read more

One thing I have not done very much of this week is getting in time on the bike. I’ve done two rides but both have been short. Yesterday’s ride didn’t feel short, but it still was. Today I tried to correct this with a ~50 minute ride. I had to work during this one, so ... Read more ..read more

For today’s ride I picked MyWhoosh’s How Long Can you Hang Challenge. The blurb for this one is interesting: Hang on to the bots for the ultimate last rider riding challenge. Bots will ride at 2w/kg, 3w/kg, 4w/kg and 5w/kg. How long can you hang on in this unique and challenging discipline? Going into this ... Read more ..read more
