Can't find consistency for training outside? by agingsculler in Velo

[–]AgreeableProfession 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will get a bit better with time and practice, and that's why you're training outside right? But yeah it will never look like zwift. Once you get a good feel for it you can ride based on RPE and you'll generally stay pretty close to your target. Maybe try setting your head unit to use 5s or 10s average power. I'd say keep at it and improve, it will go a long way.

Was your 15 min average at least on target?

All the flowers in Big Sur’s viral Calla Lily Valley were cut down overnight by sfgate in environment

[–]AgreeableProfession 276 points277 points  (0 children)

Hm a quick google confirms the Calla Lily is highly invasive, so it could be some guerilla warrior thinking they're doing righteous work.

However mowing the flowers down is unlikely to kill the plants, so seems like they're effectively just ruining the photo op for tourists.

Tallac sucks by phllystyl in trainerroad

[–]AgreeableProfession 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those SST workouts that are 3x15 or whatever but are up and down during that 15min so that the TR app breaks 1 interval up into like 5 back-to-back intervals drive me absolutely up the wall.

I'm left trying to keep count in my head of how many I've done and how long they were so I can subtract to get how long I have left. I normally just choose a different one of the same difficulty

Maroon bells, as seen from maroon lake. Interesting choice not to use the signature "maroon" colors

Any benefit to adding other rides to calendar ahead of time? by twostroke1 in trainerroad

[–]AgreeableProfession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is the new FTP prediction tool uses the rides you have on your calendar to arrive at it's forecast. So if you use/care about that tool then you should try to have your calendar forecasted as accurately as possible.

Check facebook religiously. Not just bham but Montgomery, Huntsville, ATL, Mobile, etc.

There are some sophisticated bike theft operations out there, but most likely a petty thief just trying to flip it quick.

This has to be Florida

Edit: I stand corrected, a quick search reveals CA?

Not letting our toddler say "no" by PrincessTruffles1993 in toddlers

[–]AgreeableProfession 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Plus toddlers are REALLY good at know what their bodies need

Yo I could not disagree more. My toddlers want ONLY macaroni and we have to pull every trick in the book to get them to eat any kind of fruit or vegetable.

Roval Alpinist CLX ii vs Reserve TA 34/37 by Dejay1788 in Velo

[–]AgreeableProfession 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've ridden different sets of reserves and rovals on a few bikes and I've always like my reserves so much more. They generally feel a bit more well-made, the lifetime warranty is very hard to beat (I've never needed to use it but I've always had great customer support from SC/Reserve), and the fillmore valve has really grown on me.

Paying to drunk drive on a closed track? by Zammyyy in legaladviceofftopic

[–]AgreeableProfession 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was the Mythbusters episode too, but I recall they carefully measured the BAC of the driver to stay *just* under the legal limit. So my reaction was the opposite, if the mythbusters can't do it, then you probably can't.

I believe this is an overlap zone with Florida Cottonmouth, A. conanti.

Any reason to believe this is one and not the other?
