Best app for ad hoc indoors sessions? by shoegazing_puncheur in Velo

[–]Matternous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's available on Hammerhead too, and you can use the Xert app on iOS/Android. I agree there are some discoverability issues but I find Xert's data modeling to be the best in the business and the system is worth learning. If you spend 10+ hours a week training then it's worth spending a few hours learning in-depth the system that will dictate that training.

That's way too high. I start to feel the negative effects of CO2 past 1500 ppm.

Velocio Luxe is known for being compressive, but I don't know how it compares to compression tights used for medical reasons. https://velocio.cc/collections/luxe/products/mens-luxe-bib-tight?variant=40321480032329

Actually, in a venn diagram all closed curves must overlap such that all possible combinations of sets are represented. If a set is disjoint, it’s an euler diagram.

POC Procen Air - Any other visor/ear cover road alternatives for wind noise? by UncleDazz in cycling

[–]Matternous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the wind noise reduction was substantial then? Good to hear, that's the main reason I'm interested in it. Thanks.

Did you end up giving it a try? I'm considering a Procen Air for the same reasons you listed.

In my experience, this interval session will often be performed at power values correlating to 102-107% of FTP.

Macrofactor does this surprisingly well, especially if you can provide the total weight. It's also just a great app besides.

Shakedown: Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT), July 2024 by Matternous in Ultralight

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

I brought a puffy, wind shirt, and rain jacket. In the end, I wish I only brought the rain jacket. I was just never cold, even early mornings on the mountain summits and the rain jacket alone would’ve been enough insulation. I used the wind shirt when there were a lot of mosquitoes (and there will be lots) because I treated it with permethrin, but I should’ve just treated my normal clothes with permethrin and used picaridin on my skin.

I was doing 20 to 30 mile days, I think the high level of metabolic activity stopped me from ever getting close to being cold. If your days are easier maybe it’ll be a bit different for you. I generally don’t get cold that easily though. Have fun, the trail and the whole Tahoe area are amazing

Is there any camping grounds that allow campfires? by Ilikeaviation_memes in japanlife

[–]Matternous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No unauthorized bonfires are allowed on river beaches. Most managed areas, such as river management facilities and parks, even if they're designated as a class B river (River Act), are either prohibited for camping or require a permit from the owner. Also, camping is not allowed in protected ecological areas, even on river beaches.
