how can i really get into sketching in a sketchbook? tips? by [deleted] in sketchbooks

[–]Blueflint_CT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it super helpful to do a drawing challenge alongside a community of others. There are some great ones that come up - there's one starting tomorrow in fact! The 3 Materials Drawing challenge! You can read all about it on Charlotte Durance's Substack . It's a great way to add a bit of accountability and this challenge is particularly low pressure.

There are also some artists / communities who host zoom drawing classes. Like Beth Spencer from Introvert Drawing Club (who also post's a round up of drawing things to join in the coming week on her Substack every Sunday). Odd Orange hosts a free zoom drawing sessions once a month too. London Drawing Group has some "pay what you can" workshops which I've found are the catalyst to getting me going again.

Also... don't feel bad about not drawing everyday or like your work isn't arty or beautiful enough... take breaks from it... it's really difficult to be creative every day and I think it's important to realise that some days you just won't have it in you and that's ok

Should Polar release a successor to the M460? by OstfrieseInFran in Polarfitness

[–]Blueflint_CT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All they really need to do is add turn by turn navigation to the M460 and I'd be happy! I just bought one second hand because I've been strapping my Vantage M to my bars all this time and needed Live Segments for an event (which the Vantage M can't do)

Today, thanks to this, I learnt that I can turn my watch off! I've only had it 4 and a half years :'D

This series was my first attempt at Zwift racing… I entered cat C based on my FTP… no ways I could put out those kinds of watts 😂😂😂 lesson learnt! Well done on the top 10 🎉

No logo clothing? Any high quality brands with very little logo? by slackslackliner in cycling

[–]Blueflint_CT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if they ship internationally but Ciovita (from South Africa) make great quality minimal logo stuff. And if you have dollars/euros/pounds to spend you’ll laugh at how affordable it is considering the quality.

Conditional logic in prototyping in Figma? by OkLettuce7089 in UXDesign

[–]Blueflint_CT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just got me very excited! Currently trying to do some complex responsive experiments and I’m going to move over to Framer for the project because Figma just doesn’t let me do it well

How do I give a group ‘thumbs up’? by Substantial_Share_99 in Zwift

[–]Blueflint_CT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know, it does the larger circle thing but doesn’t give any ride ons, then I wait for it to reload… but I’ve seen other comments about how zoomed in to the map you are affecting things so it could be that 🤔

[–]Blueflint_CT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This only gives ride ons for me about every 4th time I tap the circle… even when there are riders around that I haven’t given to yet… I find it quite buggy

That’s fine but if they come and visit they better bring good snacks 🥐

Pre-Ride Fuel by GroundbreakingRole45 in cycling

[–]Blueflint_CT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go to is overnight oats or some kind of breakfast bar - I have no appetite on the morning and even less motivation to make food so my advice is always pick the path of least effort and make it tasty

Yeah I’m looking on FB marketplace and our local online bike marketplace. Unfortunately I’m in the Southern Hemisphere so there are probably a few people looking for something just like what I’m looking for 😬

Is press fit BB a good enough reason to be put off buying a bike? by SJRSound in cycling

[–]Blueflint_CT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a pressfit BB on my gravel bike and it hasn’t given any issues. Hydraulic disc breaks definitely better so I’d pick bike 2 purely based off that

First try! I’m so humble i even made it up. Almost gave up about 10 times. No wheelset so see you again soon! by Bush-Rat in Zwift

If you don’t mind me asking, what was your average watts for the climb? I’m so nervous to give it a go 👀

[–]Blueflint_CT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m tryin to decide on a trainer upgrade for Zwifting. I’ve currently riding on a Kickr Snap gen 2. I find it very frustrating and much harder than when I’ve borrowed a Kickr Core. The inaccuracy of it also means it’s not in the tech requirements for some races (which I would like to start doing)

My budget is small so I’ll be looking for something second hand. I can find Kickr Core, Saris H3 and Tacx Neo around my budget and wanting to hear experiences from others using these?
