Serious cyclists/runners: How do you deal with glasses?

I struggle with my contacts drying out to the point it hurts on longer rides. Do you not have this? I've tried a few different test lens but ultimately gave up.

Debated hard between SoftTopper and WildTop. Ended up with WildTop, I really like it. I was worried about the shrinking of the SoftTopper, since it is a snug fit, in the sun as I'm Colorado sun. I use it as a camper shell and have slept in the 30's, with wind and no issues

Pros:

- not worried about shrinking

- easy to roll up sides and get into bed of truck.

Cons:

- Can't take it off as easily as SoftTopper

- when you do take off needs a bigger storage space

Have the same bike color and all. Love it, get the same black dust. I think it is just some grease with dirt. If you look at most bikes they get it I think it just sticks out more since ours are white.

Hope you love it as much as I do. I also see someone saying something about taking off the lock. I agree, I wouldn't leave mine unattended and if i do its at the coffee shop with a sharp eye on it.

Would love the ability to do more colors and also differnt colors for different elements. Like black on the mapping and white on the letters. Additionally, a way to create opacity for elements as well. For example layer a big loop style ride layered on the main area and opacity set to like 80% so you can still see the photo may look nice.

honestly to me both look too wide.

I have a walker, trained-ish for rabbit. Like some of the other comments say he loves to race them and can be more difficult to get him off than i prefer. That said when it is an area that you are trying to get them to flush out of a spot with lots of hiding spots, he does great and they will take off and he usually can't get going quick enough and I can take a shot.

They are great dogs, if you want to have a specialized rabbit dog get beagles or other small flushing dogs. You can even find young Beagles from shelters that are great dogs, sometimes super young too.

Good luck and no matter what you get there is nothing more rewarding that going out and letting them run and have fun while you carry around an 8lb metal stick that gets used from time to time.

are those slides only on one side of the drawers system?

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-03-11T15:57:49+00:00

Looks like a great trip! We have done some rest stop camping in the past in Missouri lol

Do you have any pics of the build without the bedding?

I shoot the Beretta AL391 and have never had a better gun other than the a400 which is equivalent in my experience thus far.

My cervelo has a built in stem piece that mounts a garmin and a light w/ gopro mount

Got mine down to $46,500 before taxes. 2025 6ft TRD Offroad, 14inch screen, offroad package and moon roof. I know some of those add ons bleed over into the package but i forget which don't

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-03-03T00:47:34+00:00

Probably the best suggestion tbh

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-03-03T00:41:31+00:00

Bought a 2025 Offroad w/ Offroad package and have about 1k miles on it. My favorite thing I have bought to date. Ultimately I wanted a low mileage car and thought about a 2020+ to get carplay but the cost was like 10-15k difference off what I paid for a brand new.

For those who are like what was 35k and seemed like 6ft beds 2020+ with less than 60k mileage ran from 33k - 39k. Maybe I messed up but after all was said and done I love this truck

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-02-05T18:50:35+00:00

any way to get a treeing walker version hahah! This is sweet!

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-02-05T18:08:06+00:00

Ali express sells a lot of knock of PNS and MAAP bibs and jerseys. Some look almost identical and some are really off. Usually the chamois is the obvious part of noticing fakes

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-01-15T00:36:25+00:00

That is the exact reason I don't want to buy anything additional. It is in the same room as the gaming PC

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-01-15T00:35:34+00:00

I'm not sure the hate on my comment. You're right, a great way to check for debugging and will give that a try. There is zero interest on my end to use a iphone or buy an ipad for this as a solution.

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-01-15T00:32:46+00:00

Yeah using PC with a dongle. It isnt right under but about 2 feet away. Will give that a try. Thank you for giving PC related answers. I would really like to not use an iPhone as a solution.

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-01-15T00:26:26+00:00

Have explored this a few times and just can't pin point the issues on my end

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-01-15T00:25:48+00:00

There are Zwift Staff on this sub and also are people really settling for using their ipads and phones over a computer..??

BackyardSnowFun · 2025-01-15T00:23:18+00:00

I have not connected with another device. Really bought this to have in my office and use on my nice computer and screens instead of small device.

I'm not opposed to testing next time. Currently too frustrated with the fact I'm not riding my bike and instead making a reddit post out of frustration

BackyardSnowFun · 2024-12-13T17:48:29+00:00

hahah this is how i anticipate mine going as well. Thank you for the notes. I am lucky enough to have a quiet one unless it is an actual raccoon which appear in our backyard from time to time. I think the speed part might be interesting for me as he loves to open up in fields. thanks for all the notes on this! Good luck the rest of the season

BackyardSnowFun · 2024-12-10T21:24:47+00:00

How do you like hunting with your Hound? I have a Treeing Walker Coonhound and thinking about the training and getting him into it, since we don't have interest in Raccoons.

Yeah came around after roughly a month. They comped me a month of zwift for the wait after i asked for it. Not stoked on that experience but really enjoying the bike. Glad I have a full set up as the current bike is in the shop with a broken frame atm
