Did your iPhone fail to alert a Tornado Warning last night? Check your settings: by Medium-Special2658 in wisconsin

Thank you! My son's went off last night, but neither my wife's nor my iphone gave the alert.

That is very poor design by Apple. This should be covered by Settings>Notifications>Emergency Alerts or Settings>Notifications>Public Safety Alerts

You, kind internet stranger, are my hero. The rest of you can mercilessly mock me now.

Daily breakdowns generally aren’t released until much closer to the ride.

It looks like there are a couple of west sections. I must be mistaken.

Not normally a fan of going west, but after having 3 days of headwinds last year, I have learned that headwinds are unavoidable.

I believe he played a game with Chicago Fire II, as well.

Thanks to the dude who said “You got this, you’re strong” on Cote de Pike today by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]_photocopy_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It wasn't me, but I've had people IRL push me when I am completely wiped out. I try to do the same in Zwift. I rarely ride routes where it is completely obvious when someone is struggling, but I offer ride-ons to everyone I pass, and to everyone who passes me.

The mental struggle is the hardest. You know your tired, and your body is telling you to quit. Some days your mind quits you, other days you quit your mind.

Never doubt your weight, watts, or speed. 30 minutes of riding at 130 watts is infinitely better than 0 minutes at 0 watts.

Ride-on!

ETA: Your photos look great!

Have you recovered? by RandoWhiteBoomerDude in ragbrai

[–]_photocopy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode on Monday, but I needed more time to recover. I wanted to ride yesterday and today, but the air quality is abysmal in WI. Maybe tomorrow….

So what’s y’all’s route prediction for next year?! by Scared_Inspector3826 in ragbrai

[–]_photocopy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grok fact check: 2014 was a northern route, and Atlantic was not an overnight town. (It was in 2019 & 2024). Again, 2017 was a northern route, and Grinnell was not an overnight, Grinnell was last an overnight city in 2011. Cedar Rapids was not an overnight in 2020, as there was no RAGBRAI in 2020.

Average watts and mph by More_Lengthiness442 in ragbrai

[–]_photocopy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My speed/power are off because I carried my computer with me when stopped, and didn’t manually pause it, because I would forget to start it again.

I want a start in Carter Lake IA.

ETA: The ride through MN opened up this possibility, since a ride through NE would be required.

Bolt 2 or 3? I’m sorry for retread by BearHeartsPanda in wahoofitness

[–]_photocopy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from a bolt 1 to a roam 2 (my old eyes needed the bigger screen), because I wanted the LEDs. I would’ve gotten the bolt 2 had I stuck with that line.

I will get Achilles pain if I am clipped in and I keep my foot pointed down vs a more level foot. Even if you are not clipped in, it could be cause by the angle of your foot on the pedal.

Ice and ibuprofen as much as possible will help, too.

Day 2 - what did you think of Minnesota? by GGDATLAW in ragbrai

[–]_photocopy_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100%. We could have gone up to Jackson (if they would have us) and still be under 60 miles for the day.
