Trying to find my way out of the cloud of my own bullshit.

Semi-serious masters MTB endurance and gravel racer
That just showed me the truth about weight. 20lbs mattered, but it was also 20lbs. Saving a few ounces for non-functional reasons? Meh.

Losing weight felt great every day though!

A stiff bike and stiff wheels (carbon/carbon), THAT feels amazing. Even a stiff vs. not so stiff carbon frame. Full gas at low speeds and you can definitely feel it.

Naturally.

I lost 20lbs and did the whole bike calc thing to see how much faster I'd be on a big climb-y race (10k' climbing) and the actual difference turned out to be half the result...15min vs 30 over 5:45.

Bike weight is a false God.

Total system weight is the eternal truth.

Within reason

Have you thought about not being weird?

It's just left libertarianism, falling victim to the same false assumptions

Not being locked into Maxxis tires anymore is a bit of a boost

I have Zwift on my phone, playing spotify, streaming to a Chromecast on a TV, with a tablet running the companion app and controlling spotify.
November 17, 2025 at 12:32 PM
A phone should be able to connect everything, anything really...and run additional audio through the TV.
November 17, 2025 at 12:32 PM
That makes total sense

This is the shooting someone on 5th Avenue

He's going to go for it

Erg mode is the devil, learn to maintain power on your own so you can do it where it counts

Running Zwift on the Apple TV, not on your phone streaming to the TV?
November 17, 2025 at 12:02 AM
It's really not, if only because that's not the point.

You coulda tried harder....

Yeah, just like you coulda tried harder to get into the Olympics

The market competition in healthcare should be effectiveness in care. More effective care doesn't drive income down, it allows more care overall.

Barriers to entry are good though

He has a slightly disingenuous appearing slickness

Or is it improve prison conditions and it will be more acceptable to send white collar criminals to prison?
