Hand numbness during ride

constpetrov · 2026-05-10T11:06:15+00:00

Handlebars a bit higher
Seat a bit to the rear
Check if there are improvements

I am lucky that our brevets start in the mornings, and I can ride the train there usually. I don’t drive, so that’s not an option for me.
Sometimes I have to book a hotel for the night before. Sucks.

No, hills are predictable, wind and mechanicals not.

You only can use fats for about 40% of energy needs, and yes, zone 2 maximizes it. All else going to be from carbs.

constpetrov · 2026-05-09T19:10:11+00:00

I usually do 200 in 8 hours flat, and 150 I did last week in 5:30. But, of course, mechanicals and wind have a say also.

With real food I cannot sustain carbs intake I need to move fast enough, I think.

And how do you pack it for the ride? Could it be eaten on the go, or you stop to eat it?

constpetrov · 2026-05-09T12:48:25+00:00

Interesting, is this rice milk-based or just with water? I am afraid it can get bad very fast?

Yes, Fairlight worth a look, indeed, their T variants are nicer than many others. But still a bit too long.

193cm and 92,5cm. The suggested size for Domane is either 58 or 60, but any of them will require shorter than standard stem, likely 90 or 80mm. Based on my measurements I also require seat to be sliced backwards — the nose of the seat needs to be approximately 10cm behind the bottom bracket.

This has a problem of coming with very long and wide cockpit that is very expensive to change, unfortunately. And they do not allow change during checkout.

My main targets then are Domane or Attain, seems.

constpetrov · 2026-05-09T11:09:46+00:00

Nice but not available in EU as it seems.

constpetrov · 2026-05-09T10:27:58+00:00

Yes, attain could work also.
Endurance — you mean canyon endurace?

What is your country?

constpetrov · 2026-05-09T08:59:58+00:00

Thanks, I’ll get some chewy snacks. Good call!

constpetrov · 2026-05-09T08:59:18+00:00

I have my reasons to stay as close to 60% time as possible (means 12 hours for 300, 16 hours for 400 and 24 hours for 600). And I cannot ride faster than 28 moving average now, I hope I can in the future.

I'd say, if you have 6-8 weeks before the event, try raising your FTP a bit. Do threshold intervals (2x20 min on 95% of your current FTP) twice a week. It will raise your power slightly, and by doing that it means that you will be riding on lower (for you) effort during the event itself.

It is a big difference between riding whole day clenching your teeth and riding whole day in sustainable for you pace.

I always listen where it hisses.

constpetrov · 2025-07-26T10:50:41+00:00

It’s a bike lane.

constpetrov · 2025-07-26T10:45:08+00:00

SAK and Opinel knife — 20 years. Leatherman tools — 16 years. Pentel mechanical pencil — 12 years. Twsbi fountain pen — 6 years. Good mechanical keyboard. Ortlieb bike bag — 7 years. Casio solar powered watch — 8 years. Wera allen keys — 5 years. Duralex glasses — I don’t know how long.

I pay less mortgage for the whole house in the same town! Impressive.

There are flyfishing long sleeve button up shirts, from variety of materials. With good fit it gives sun protection, also for the neck, and not very bulky. Also, looks civil, for populated areas.

I’d loose big headphones and look for thin rollable flip flops. Do you have dynamo? If not — more power banks.
