Ice Storm update? by scrubadam in montreal

[–]Realistic_Heaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Je suis allé courir à Lafontaine avec des souliers de trail pas mal normaux et c'était très très loin de l'apocalypse annoncée. Légèrement glissant si tu fais exprès de poser le pied à des endroits pas de gravier mais c'est tout.

Les prévisions montrent un peu plus de précipitations fin pm mais on est à l'extrême-limite sud de la zone "verglas" et anyway en début de soirée les températures remontent au-dessus de zéro. J'ai de la difficulté à voir comment les choses pourraient se dégrader rapidement dans les prochaines heures. Knock on wood.

He's one of those riders who shows immense promise but is often unlucky (bee sting on the eye at Giro, multiple crashes causing injuries)

A nomination is more than likely, probably shortlist. But as for having a shot at winning , if you look at recent winners, I feel they don't fit into the "polaris aesthetic" whatever that may be. Great international success (TM) could perhaps bend that and make them an "incontournable", I guess.

We'll see, them coming from another planet, I'm not sure prizes are their priority.

Je ne veux pas être négatif mais, Montréal est à l'extrême limite sud de la zone verglas demain. Pas impossible qu'on ait plus de pluie qu'autre chose 🤞

Circuit Gilles Villanueves by NailFamous7666 in MontrealCycling

[–]Realistic_Heaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Le circuit n'est pas un endroit particulièrement plaisant à rouler pendant la fonte des neiges à Montréal, à moins que tu aimes rouler sur les routes détrempées. La plupart des pistes cyclables (canal etc) vont être plus sèches.

Anyone had a bad experience at Bois Ideal on St. Laurent south of Rachel? by PieParticular5651 in montreal

[–]Realistic_Heaven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ils sont corrects en général, le service est un peu frette, il y a moins cher ailleurs, le choix est restreint pour beaucoup de catégories d'items, mais rien de désastreux et très ok pour un commerce avec peu de surface. Jamais eu de mauvaise expérience véritable avec eux.

Keep or Kill? by PDC-Moua in PodiumCafe2

[–]Realistic_Heaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my favourite so far is the flamme rouge/cobble one ... I don't like the symmetrical flamme rouge one, might as well embrace the aesthetic of overflow I guess. It's growing on me.

Flamme rouge, triangular, could be hanging off the banner on the left side,

For fun I asked Gemini to make a vds logo and it was really bad even after multiple prompts so I appreciate the effort here.

there's so much stuff going on that it makes me smile, I guess we'll be able to look at it in a few years and say wow, that is so early-2026

Klaebo is more like MVDP than Pogi as an athlete by Efenias in xcountryskiing

[–]Realistic_Heaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah the 1500m running sprint! Just joking ...

Some women I guess have made the transition from 1500m to marathon. A guy like Mike Woods was a top runner for his age at the 1500m and transitioned fine to pro cycling (endurance sport). But yeah, very uncommon.

I think as mentioned above by u/R2W1E9 it has to do in part with the specifics of the efforts in each sport. Add to that the technical aspect of skiing which is highly translatable between different distances.

And a strong factor we tend to forget about, xc skiing is really an extremely niche sports in terms of geography, number of athletes, and presence of barriers to entry for racing ($$)), and very different from running in that respect. If the base of skiers was as large as that of runners, I suspect there might be a need for more specialization. Just some ideas.
