2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted February 17, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Charlie Weather forecasts not great after 1300 do you not fancy something more local, eg loops so that you can get home easily if it gets too bad, as I am planning to meet Mr Coutie on the track at 0930 for lumpy loops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted February 17, 2020 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Was trying to postpone loops till March cos they hurt. My route will have us back by 1 pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 17, 2020 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’d be up for a few loops. Say three circuits and then back to the cafe before the rain starts - now forecast for 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ian Archibald Posted February 17, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’m always up for a cafe ride to Kilmalcolm. Will bring extra warm clothes just in case Couttie is still a basket case. He hasn’t got long now to get fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ian Archibald Posted February 19, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 This was a terrible ride today and I feel I owe it to you all to share my view: 1. No focus. Not neuro muscular, not VO2 max, not threshold, not sweet spot, not zone 2. Just maximum rubbish with minimum gain. 2. Riding in a slow cadence is almost universally accepted now as silly. You want to grow your quads - sprint flat out for 10s. Churning for 3 hours is like going to the gym and squatting the bar for 3 hours. 3. This ride was not just time inefficient (we spent half our time free wheeling when we could have been on the sofa practising our duolingo Spanish) but more, now my legs are semi shredded for tomorrow. 4. Not even the social benefit of riding in a group. Either semi puffing or waiting for Billy in his big ring. We all have different goals I know. But this ride is ill conceived I appreciate some guys like it. I wondered why Lynsey Curran refused to turn out - I’d told her we were touring round the lanes - now I know. It was a testosterone fix. C’mon guys. We can do better than this. My suggestion is to stick to a long zone 2 ride. Throw in a few 10s sprints and if you like, 30mins at sweet spot. I appreciate this will involve reprogramming our very own Duracell toy, Charlie. I guess the forum is not for this type of comment. Won’t take offence if the moderators take it down.

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted February 19, 2020 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Guys, I quite enjoyed the ride today. Sorry you didn’t Ian. I was just happy to get out and back before more of the awful weather, and this ride ticked that box. A longer run would have been nice but the forecast was rubbish for the afternoon. It might not have been the best training ride, but then we’re not all training. A few hills never hurt anyone. Having said that I won’t be out next week.

2023 Subscriptions XXX Posted February 20, 2020 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 It didn’t have focus, two main focus points 1 Torque 2 Staying close Third principle focus variety something different than normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
