Never knew you were cross-eyed

Just wait until we all get together and I have a few drinks you won't have a clue who I am talking to my left eye will be all over the place. It is actually how my wife tells when I am drunk haha

Don't believe Strava mph.... I tend to think its BS
Anyways, I've said this to someone else before but pick a target in the group and try to keep up with them.
Walter was my target (aimed a bit high but whatever... ) for the longest then I started goofing off lol

I'm going to start pulling away now that I'm running today

This is me in college after a set on the bench LOL. Amazing how jacked we all were!!

Finally found my album. After curling 20 shots of scotch

What's wrong with it if I'm borrowing I may as well fix it... Again lol.

Switch the stickers on the forks, he won't notice

You need to eat before you ride. It doesn't need to be a lot even a peanut butter sandwich on the drive will help.

I started drinking this and it helps too. https://www.tailwindnutrition.com/shop/

But your like me young kid and wife in the way getting together is tough especially with your hours

Have an affair, guys I know who are, are incredibly efficient. I think you may just have an efficiency issue...

Maybe we are all holding back too much. Time for a hammer ride.

Hammer ride?

 

[qclabrat]

That’s really weird, that looks exactly like me in college.

That’s why your the Roc 🙂

Again... just an opinion
Your body is just used to riding with no fuel so you don't necessarily feel tired but your legs are weaker.
I'd be interested in some power readings.... but I am willing to bet, your power dwindles down more rapidly when compared to those who eat before the ride.

Frank has a power meter, we should all borrow it for a week and see if we can break it. That Ritchey is a fine bike.

This is a very good point, I used to never eat before the rides and my legs used to fatigue much quicker. I started having something small and bringing food with me on rides and it seems to really help. Don't eat anything major just light food so you don't need to deuce and small snacks, I steal my sons fruit leathers. They are only 90 cals but sugar so help out on the ride.

Rides longer than two hours need refueling every hour afterwards. My winter rides tend to be the longest 5-6hrs and I'll bring sufficient Gu and granola bars.

I don't think that's necessary
Altho strava is prolly not that accurate, if you enter your weight into your profile, it will provide how much power you are putting down.
On my road rides, I was easily putting down 200+ watts in the beginning but mid ride, it goes down 180

I actually learned a lesson on granola bars yesterday, either keep them close to the body or don't bring them because they get really hard to chew when they are really cold LOL

Some carbs, potassium and hydration pre(and refuel during) ride have helped me feel more energized. I used to go without carbs during the ride but would run out of steam. Cliff Blocks are helping my rides as well. Sounds like a commercial

I'm going to make my own cliff blocks out of my expired Adderall. No sharing, cause it's illegal

Now that would be fun to see

Bring the talon I'll race you, pick 10 miles lol

Let's settle this on short track, winner gets to take a dump on the loser's hood
