Where my bike riders at? Just bought a new single speed/fixie

[Jean toomer]

I concur with @Jean toomer.

Yep, road bike. I'm use to fast group rides that typically stay in the 24-28mph range but crit racing is a whole different world. Doing the same speeds but you have a bike on your left and a bike on your right trying to get on the wheel in front of you to draft. Basically a game of high speed chicken. So you have to concentrate on not clipping the wheel in front of you while worrying about how crazy are the people beside you.

That shyt freaked me out in the first couple of turns so I backed off. Ended up slipping off the back of the main peloton and got dropped. Felt better my second race and held on a few laps longer.

Overall, fun but definitely a challenge. CAT5 guys sprinting 30-35mph out of corners. I'm more conditioned for endurance riding. I'm going hard on training now to see if I can hang with them boys.

People think it’s sweet watching them boys at Red Hook killing it, but riding in one is a whole different level. There’s a young brother who rides out of Brooklyn who’s a beast. Had a major accident in a crit and fractured his skull. There’s a doc about it on YouTube called The Scar I think. I saw that shyt and was like

Let me stay in my damn lane on Zwift.
Good luck to you bruh. Cycling is the best way to good long term health.

Yep, and for that very reason I've decided I won't be taking this too seriously. I'm not killing myself for $100 and bragging rights. I used to despise riding on the indoor trainer, bought a fan and now I prefer indoor over outdoor. Trying to decide between Zwift and Trainer Road.

I just got back on my mountain bike after a two year hiatus, and during that two years, I barely saw even a treadmill. Decided to hit an intermediate course on Sunday and it was a disaster, even forgot how to use my Garmin on the bike.

Glad to see that everything on the Stumpjumper worked perfectly still.

If I go with Zwift I know I'll want to eventually get a nice smart trainer. My pockets can't take much more

Check Amazon for a clamp on mount. Other option is to use a camel back

Go to target and get a camelback for $20

I bought one for me and my lady.

Only time I even use a bottle is for 3+ hours rides and its water + electrolytes. Other than that I just use the camelbak.

Target : Expect More. Pay Less.

My Strava is fukked and I cant fixed it, re-installed so many times

Spoiler: Strava

Is it just an app or do you have a cycling computer?

My city is bummy. I literally rode the trail yesterday, hit the same route today and they closed the trail off 4 miles before the end. Which happens to be my fav part because it's where I loop around.
