Riding yes. Racing not yet.

Same. I just turn it on and watch YT videos while I spin the pedals.

A friend of mine who did reasonably well in A races last winter jumped in one recently and got smoked. All the longer rides we've been doing killed his 20-minutes-hovering-just-above-death power numbers.

It saddens me how quickly my strava feed went from 95% outside to 80% inside in the matter of a week

Dude, it’s only October! Go enjoy natures!

iv started to only acknowledge outdoor rides if its still nice enough to ride in shorts and a t-shirt.

Spoiler

it is still plenty nice enough, even on the road

I haven't been riding as much, so don't frequent Strava much either, but when I do, I'm like "Really, inside already?"

Why do you guys care?

It always puzzles me that something that makes people happy which does not concern others in any way whatsoever gets others so bent out of shape.

Couldn't agree more.
For the record, I never stopped riding inside.

 

[shrpshtr325]

i cant speak for everyone, but i dont care, i just dont get it . . . . . (but then iv never been able to ride indoors either so )

If it so great, not sure why people need support. Just tying to help people with their issues 😉

If me riding my trainer at 7pm makes you angry. I'm not the problem.

I don't think it makes anyone angry, it just makes people feel bad for you.

 

[Dave Taylor]

It’s all fun and games. I’ll be inside for zwift race or two, some structured intervals but I am not capable of just zwifting or group rides. So boring. Even in the dead of winter I prefer outside rain, snow or sleet. To each their own.

🙂 Love riding outside but Zwift is easier on the household so i mix it up. I definitely won't ride in the crap @Dave Taylor will though!

Started training for my Ironman next August this week. Super excited for staring at blue bars on TrainerRoad for the next 6 months.
