Going Long and Hard.

[Steve Vai]

And I guess this is what’s happening now. Not 1, but 3 Indoor Sessions today? Lame AF. But god damn is it convenient.

20-minute warm-up then some Route next to a lake at Tempo.

Spent a bit dicking around with Zwift before going back into Bkool. Started doing the Tourmalet but it’s too long so I did 140 laps on the track in Z2.

Interesting that my HR is basically the same for both because my HR doesn’t react to anything 😂

What happened to you?

What happened to you?

He got an ebike a couple of years ago...

My blood pressure got too high from threatening yoga moms in Teslas during my Commute every day.

You’re not going to last at this rate

They’d probably be a bit less distracted if you wore baggies. 😉

140 laps is like 10 miles 😅

It usually calms down after the New Year, because I have pants on then.

I didn’t mean because it was a lot.

Were you staring at that screen the whole time?

 

[Steve Vai]

I didn’t mean because it was a lot.

Were you staring at that screen the whole time?

Yes. Being able to get into a groove and zone out is my super power. In the morning I rode with some people so it was more engaging but still, I definately zone out.

Sold my Epic. Had it up for a day and got full asking. Granted I had it up for $3,500 with XX1 AXS and Roval Control SL wheels and my Ignite setup so, it was a good buy. Stripped to rebuild it for the new owner. Going without an FS MTB until I can flip my Demo bike. I was going to buy a World Cup but there’s a bike that’s been begging for me to buy it since it came in so…stay tuned.

What happened to you?

Damn, this is like when Bob Dylan went electric.

I’m gonna put an E Bike on the Trainer and school these kids in Zwift.

Was it an Evo or regular epic? I don’t see the 🧠

EVO. No brains.

Saw there was a new Paris~Brest~Paris video on GCN+. Was looking for you. Just saw some lame English and French riders.

Was this a small?

Medium.

Happy Day of Your Birth Jimmy!

I was going to buy a World Cup

I’ve heard a lot of negative or not so positive reviews on that bike. The rear shock seems to be really difficult to dial in. I’m sure they’re going to revise it. Having most of the factory team racing uci World Cups on Evos was a bad look and I’m sure their marketing was pissed.
Especially when the Trek team was not having this. (Except for when Jolanda Neff raced a top fuel but that was only one race I think, and she didn’t do great).

I think 120 front and 100/120 in the rear will be the standard XC setup for the time being. Until someone makes a really light and efficient 130/120 bike.
