@ssamulczyk@cycling I start off with mesh vest, jersey, arm warmers and Primaloft jacket, then after 20 minutes I’m down to the vest. I mean, I’m wearing bibs too… 👀
@arratoon Sounds complicated but still quite acceptable… If I start in a jersey it’s soaking wet in 5 minutes… Everything has its pros and cons…🤷🏻♂️ I’d have to invest in a better fan… Wahoo Headwind looks nice but practicality calls for something more “multipurpose”…@cycling
@MOyster I know! I can do that outside, throwing the bike around a lot. I’m less convinced to do so with a bike pinned in place to a trainer… I’m sure I will try to go harder many times in the future…😂 @cycling@rower
@ssamulczyk I just did my first Zwift workout the other day swapping from a Tacx Neo to the Kickr Core and it is SO QUIET in comparison... I dunno how I put up with the whine before!
@refreshingapathy I only have comparison to rollers, which are just horrendous… Anything better than that gets to pass as acceptable!🫣 They have some pros, though. I’ve learned to ride with no hands on the bars (could do it outside, but it’s extra hard on rollers) and drink from a bottle during workout and my bike control went off the charts. I sometimes miss that!🙈
@QRSS_Test@ssamulczyk@rower@cycling Yes it can be boring sweaty stuff, but joining a team and doing things like races, being part of the ZRL and doing weekly team time trials can make it more interesting, as the social elements as well as competitive aspects come into play.
EG - I'm a d grade rider, yesterday I raced, broke away, was joined by 1 other, played some cat and mouse with them and the group behind, and then had to sprint to win. The kind of stuff you watch professionals do on TV. Doing it as a slow, diesel engined 50+yo rider who would be never dare race in the real world makes it fun and interesting.
@MrAndrewD Oh, I understand what people get from that. I’m not looking for racing, I’m just obsessed with doing my daily kilometres, because it makes me feel better about myself. I try to ride outside whenever I can, but when it’s -5°C and raining - not so much…🤷🏻♂️ @QRSS_Test@rower@cycling
