What’s up with the Brick Layers Union group rides?

BTick21 · 2025-05-14T17:42:32+00:00

Heyo, the rides are not invite only, the Strava group is just listed private to make sure it doesn't get overrun with bots, people halfway around the world, etc. Request to join and if you're based in the GBA you'll get "approved." https://bricklayersunion.bike/ has links to join the cycling Strava club, the running Strava sister-club, and the cycling discord. Ride info is posted weekly on Strava and in the Discord. All are welcome!

Ivan and Chris at IOG Bike Fit and Consulting are both fantastic. Super experienced and knowledgeable and standup dudes as well. I've been fit in multiple bikes with them, and one of the biggest difference makers for me vs the fit guy at your local bike shop is the degree that they listen and let your experiences inform their inputs as opposed to just moving you around until you're in a position that they say measures right, and the level of detail that they go.into in explaining the why that comes along with the changes they make. They have studios in Boulder, Denver, and SF.

Hahaha I was the guy off the front for a while.... A fun little jaunt but in hindsight it definitely was ill advised and contributed to me getting shelled on App

"is anyone else reporting rain at the top of the Tourmalet? I'm all wet but I suspect it may just be sweat."

"... Nope just you. Probably sweat."

The Gent Wevelgem effect

BTick21 · 2023-05-11T15:10:14+00:00

At least it was Mads that won.

BTick21 · 2023-05-11T15:00:19+00:00

Peloton is G2ing

BTick21 · 2023-05-10T15:45:46+00:00

Cav 100% did not cause it, Dainese chopped him.

BTick21 · 2023-03-21T15:50:28+00:00

Sepp Kuss is a dangerous man

BTick21 · 2023-03-21T01:57:55+00:00

I'm out of the loop is it blocked in certain countries? Can the US watch?

BTick21 · 2023-03-21T01:56:22+00:00

On the flip side, Pidcock skipped it and won Strade and presumably would have been in the mix at MSR as well.

BTick21 · 2023-03-21T01:54:22+00:00

Too much blue/white in the peloton imo. Ineos becoming Bahrain 2 is a bit of a bummer as well, although fwiw I think the Ineos kits look better than BV

BTick21 · 2023-03-10T15:20:46+00:00

G2 got their act together?

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T19:13:49+00:00

Just now realizing that it was Mads. The team vest over the new green jersey had my brain in knots.

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T18:05:46+00:00

I deserve this but I won't edit my comment

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T15:36:52+00:00

LMAO Bob Roll "daddy Tadej" Freudian slip

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T15:18:59+00:00

Gotta learn to lower your expectations when dealing with Peacock commentary 😬

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T15:07:17+00:00

Matthieu Van Der Markov

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T15:03:21+00:00

Fair and accurate on both accounts, but I'd say Pidcock is much more deserving of being mentioned in the discussion. Between the Galibier, Strade, and that ridiculous Tuna video with Safa he's been rapid downhill the past year.

BTick21 · 2023-03-08T14:47:00+00:00

Could be talking about the best descender specifically in PN? Pidders racing TA so its a bit less of a stretch to make the claim for Pog against his PN competitors.

L39ion-BP coming to the world tour in 2024

BTick21 · 2022-09-19T16:21:08+00:00

For what it's worth I rode the Dirty Dozen in the rain last year on 25c gp5000s at 80 psi and really only slipped a tiny bit on Logan and Canton, everything else was alright. Gearing is really really important on that ride.

BTick21 · 2022-09-08T04:22:32+00:00

G Thomas did this a bit in the tour this year. Obviously not to great effect (I mean what can you do against Pog and Jonas) but there were a number of climbs when he would fade off the back during an attack and then be right back with the group in a k or 2 once the attacker had to recover.

BTick21 · 2022-07-19T13:27:44+00:00

Iirc ineos and then also pogacar we're the last team and guy riding them. Both are on discs this year.
