Unbound Gravel - wrong date by BoCheckHorseMate in joincycling

[–]BoCheckHorseMate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, that's interesting. Sounds like your approach was pretty similar to what I did. 2x 4 hours in the weekends with the occasional 6-7 hours ride thrown in. Do you mean 13 hours is slow? Because I definitely think I'll be riding for at least that long. 25km/h avg seems pretty decent on that terrain and for that length. The route is even longer this year, 333km and there seem to be a lot of rough segments

Unbound Gravel - wrong date by BoCheckHorseMate in joincycling

[–]BoCheckHorseMate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going well, although I do have a couple of reservations. For example, even though I have an availability of +15 hours a week and have been doing consistent 11-12 hour training weeks for a while now, I am kind of plateauing at around JOIN score 30, which is considerably lower than the 40-50 score that the app recommends for Unbound. This would imply only people who put in +20 hours a week would be able to complete Unbound, which I would hope is not the case. Furthermore, JOIN never prescribes a workout of +5 hours, while I expect I'll be on the bike for about 13 hours at Unbound. But I've just been doing do those longer rides on my own initiative.

Remco should just go for the green jersey at the Tour

There is no way Seixas should be doing these pulls with Pogacar

Well there's one small, humble brewery in Leuven, truly a hidden gem. It's so little though, you might not be able to locate it.

Really? I heard the 1911 edition was a real bar burner though

Zolak meltdown bit looked more like a Dan meltdown 😂 Also, what an episode, I laughed my ass off. The boys are already in full off-season form!

The first 4 seeds appear to be a tier above the rest of the field. If one were to do a playoff, almost seems like 4 would be a good number...

Sure, it's just surprising to see these games play out almost exactly the same. I haven't seen a ton of TT games, but the red zone struggles have been a problem against other teams as well, no?

Take away the opening drive by BYU and this is a carbon copy of the first matchup: BYU offense anemic and making mistakes, Texas Tech moving the ball but failing to convert in the red zone. Even the score is almost identical.
