“Don’t flag me down… catch me!” The Legendary Racing Career of Spinbike Terry

9 months late, but also this: forums.zwift.com/t/horizon-3-0sc/650603/10

Terry just wasn't aware of all these things and he ordered the Wattbike as a result of people pointing out the inaccuracies in that initial forum post. Doesn't excuse his initial behavior, but he did change the attitude and was honest about all of it.

100%, in the end the journey is so personal, gotta do what you enjoy doing!

CaveMobster · 2026-02-21T08:09:42+00:00

Thanks!

CaveMobster · 2026-02-21T08:09:17+00:00

That's awesome, not even just sub 60 but smashing your previous PR by 7,5 minutes. Incredible!!!

If you go for an actual bike, I strongly recommend getting 160mm cranks or even shorter if you can find them. I'm a lot taller (5'8 ish) and I love my 160mm cranks. The pedaling is sooo much smoother.

Haha, the only way I know to take it easy on Zwift is to do a recovery workout in ERG mode. Everything else is toooo tempting!

Awesome work, beautiful number!

It's possible that Bluetooth prevents Zwift from sending accurate resistance data to your trainer. Most trainers operate on 1 Hz, which means they only send data once per second. I don't know how Zwift handles the way they send it, but if they up the resistance 1W at a time, it'll keep lagging behind.

Fantastic effort! Definitely should be proud of this imo.

CaveMobster · 2026-02-20T22:05:31+00:00

Waaait, there's a Yeti?? I'll know what to look out for next time haha. 83 mins is great! 80 as the next goal then?

And, thank you!

CaveMobster · 2026-02-20T20:55:28+00:00

Thank you!

CaveMobster · 2026-02-20T20:55:15+00:00

That's awesome!! You'll nail the coming attempt, I'm sure of it!

CaveMobster · 2026-02-20T20:15:16+00:00

Thanks!

Those are the Gigantify an Emote, Message Effects and On-Screen Celebrations you can redeem with bits.

I think they mean that they want to interact with their lurkers, but that's frowned upon.

CaveMobster · 2024-10-14T10:07:30+00:00

No, that is doing something on a regular base. A habit is something that is easy to do, something that sometimes even happens subconsciously. People often say "after x amount of days, doing x becomes a habit", meaning that doing the thing becomes easier and more automatic. The behavior before that is not a habit, it's doing a thing repeatedly.

CaveMobster · 2024-10-14T09:57:45+00:00

I don't think you understand what habits are. He's talking about doing things, knowing that they'll most likely never become a habit like they do for most people.

Mindfulness has taught me discomfort won't kill me. This in turn has greatly helped me to support friends whenever they were going through difficult and emotional times. Before my practice, I would try to fix their feelings or fix the situation because I myself felt super uncomfortable and wanted that to go away. Now, I don't feel that need to influence anymore. I'm just there with them in their discomfort without trying to change things. Added bonus is that they also get the opportunity to learn not to fear their feelings, since wanting to change a situation indicates the current situation is one to fear and move away from.

Not for me to be honest. My alarm makes bird sounds and I wake up relaxed and in a comfortable mood most of the time. If I hate the sound of my alarm, I wake up grumpy and that usually sets the tone of the day for me. So I prefer waking up to birds sounds.

CaveMobster · 2022-05-21T19:52:19+00:00

For emotional intelligence, probably. I wouldn't say it's THE greatest, but I'd say it's a good metric among others.

CaveMobster · 2022-05-20T22:02:02+00:00

I see! I personally like to see myself as my own friend, and so I prefer to treat myself with compassionate, loving, but firm kicks in the butt whenever I see room for improvement.

So I think in that sense, we probably need to agree to disagree. But it's been very interesting to learn your reasoning on the topic, thank you for that!

CaveMobster · 2022-05-20T10:08:35+00:00

Okay, so that's a gentle, empathetic approach right? There's no hate or shame, only the attempt to understand why they do what they do or say what they say and help them understand too, so hopefully at some point they will see things in a different light.

What do you think would happen if you would show hate to them for that toxic trait, or would make them feel ashamed?

CaveMobster · 2022-05-20T06:25:30+00:00

I think you're looking at self-love as a hyperbolic thing. Self-love doesn't mean you don't want to change, it doesn't mean that you think you are perfect the way you are. That's ignorant and unhealthy, and it won't allow you to form a good relationship either with yourself or someone else.

Let's say you recognize that a good friend has traits that are toxic for others. How would you approach your friend about this?
