2023 Cycling Challenge

Woof, those of you who can do the high cadence workouts, I commend you. My knees HATE those with a burning passion. Plus the hip that I tore muscle in during my initiation season years ago (never healed quite right, unfortunately) likes to light itself on fire. Keeps me warm on cold winter nights, but this is not the season for that any longer.
Today was a real nice day outside - toasty, sunny, with danged good winds - blowing at a constant 6mph with gusts up to 15mph to keep things interesting, especially when those wind gusts smash you in the face. The Bianchi needed to prove herself against the Golf Cart Karens of the neighborhood. They do make it hard to pass them by hogging the entire trail, though lol

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no good at high cadence but hopefully by practising I might improve. I hate it. This is my plan … work on your weaknesses and all that.
Today I wasn’t really feeling it so just turned the legs at a reasonable effort whilst engrossed in some of the forum posts on here.

Well, y'all know that in Zwift, if your trainer's not at max you're not really riding. 🤪<- canned response to people who tell me to turn my resistance down while grinding my knees to pieces going up the Ventoux. Because 52/42 chainrings combined with a 6-speed 14-28 cassette is... well, vintage gearing with friction shifting and a grand challenge (that makes riding my Bianchi a bloody dream).
Speaking of trainer at max, trainer was at max for riding with a drunk Zwift bot tonight. Daily 10 done.

80.6 Gravel.
Rode with a friend who is an ex-pro who raced in Europe and was on the US National team. It was good having him along but the route did not lend itself to lots of drafting. We were cruising along pretty good today on some great gravel roads.
Just a stellar day to be out on a bike.

Meh, my day was nothing special - just the daily 10, hanging with a drunken Miguel-bot in Zwift. Time to get back to chores and to prep for making biscuits and gravy tonight.

@billbiggers06 Excellent!! Glad to have you. And am loving your strava entries, too.
@RMUNTZ2 Congratulations!!! Gotta love leveling up!
Ugh, just finished a 10k run... might've toasted the legs for tomorrow's planned effort. Going to do at minimum a metric century in Zwift with a drunken pace partner. We'll see if I have the time and energy to make that an imperial.3 -
