    Daily Zwift workout for the Fondo Training Plan. Should've done it on a hillier route - sacrifices the distance, yes, but earns more experience with the free ride down a mountain. 🤪

    Wendsg, How do you get your Strava link to display? I would like to let my MFP friends look at my activities but when I type in the link it does not display. What am I doing wrong?

    @cyndi2012 Welcome to the challenge! Like RMUNTZ2 said, never too late. Unless it's the last week of November - then it's supremely tough to get it done lol

    @RMUNTZ2 I actually just copy/paste the link directly from the address bar of the browser tab that I have my Strava activity open in.

    On mobile, I do this:

    That gives me this screen.

    In either case, once I have the link copied, I just paste it directly into the message field here on the board.

    And trust me, I do not intend to insult anyone's intelligence. I am just trying to help out. :smile: Goodness knows I need it a lot, too!!

    Did an event. Logged in way too early for it, too, so got extra miles before in a pseudo-warmup.

    Spent what seemed like the better part of the day on the Peloton trying to catch up with this challenge. Various scenic and low impact rides, with built in breaks every hour or so for nutrition and to give my butt a rest. My goal was to get 50 miles. Did 50.3 miles- yea me!

    Daily 10 accomplished with a workout, then an extra 0.5 miles on the end just for that experience. School's out, so the roads are very hazardous due to poor driving right now. Ugh.

    Maybe someday I'll get back on the trails. Hopefully I won't be run over by golf cart Karens or snot-nosed teens.

    Daily 10 done with a robopacer who couldn't maintain a pace to save its artificial life. It was busy being hot, humid and thunderstormy outside so no pedaling on the Bianchi today. Boooo.

    Very likely, @Mari33a . I'd just take them off with a pedal wrench, apply some new grease and put 'em back on. #ilovebikemaintenance

    Rode to meet with my mother for lap swimming - out, I did the daily 10. Back was just a direct shot. Both on the bike, so the Bianchi got out of the garage. Huzzah!

    @billbiggers06 Great elevation gain!!!! Excellent riding!

    Did a Zwift event today with a group that was FAR too fast for my liking - ended up having to maintain right around my FTP just to hang with these crazy men lol - did snag me the sprint jerseys throughout the entire route for the ladies, though. Still, UGH. Managed to hang on until the final descent, where the difference in weight and legs got me dropped. (the first time we went down that descent, I was having to put out over 300 watts to keep up! I no longer had that in the legs at the end of the ride.)
