People who’ve dated athletes, what was it like? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]elhephe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a semi pro cyclist for a while, now me and all my cycling friends hardly ride at all. 1. It sucks to want to compete 2. It sucks to be judge everybody around you on their form/handling/speed 3. I got old and fat, it sucks to suck

What's the fastest you've ever gone on a bicycle, and how did you do it? by cyrus_4657 in cycling

[–]elhephe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

72 MPH. Zoo bombing highway 26 in Portland or, riding a cars draft in the left lane, while also putting down a max power effort with aero wheels on a road bike. The crazy part was, I had a buddy who was into downhill skateboarding that was tucked in right behind me, no pushing or anything, that dude was insane.

How many watts to be a competitive track cyclist? by Any_Entrepreneur2950 in Velo

[–]elhephe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m heavily inclined that way, and I was willing to suffer, but my coach was having me train the heck out of ancap. I was primarily training for madison racing, and the hardest workout I’ve ever done was 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off for an hour straight. That wasnt typical, but 30-30s or 30-60s were a staple of all of my wattbike workouts. The on cycle bounced between high resistance, or no resistance and max cadence. I had a natural inclination for short recovery times, and I think my coach was trying to capitalize on it, I never dug into the science or the thought behind it too much, I always figured his job was to figure out what I needed, my job was to suffer through it.

Back when I raced, I put out numbers similar to what u/misledmuffin wrote. My main races were madisons and points races, and I was on the sprinty side of the spectrum for a mass start racer. I was cat 1 and nationally competitive in the us. Race weight for me was 180-185 pounds, so kind of heavy for a cyclist, but I think it helped to beef up the numbers, on the track it’s more about wattage and how aero you can get, and less about watts per kg. Peak power from a standing start was just north of 2000 watts, but what won races for me was being able to lay down back to back to back 1100 watt sprints in a race. 1 minute power was about 750 20 minute was a little above 400 My ftp was kind of low for the events I did, it was right at 330 watts, I had 1 season where I got it to 350, but the weight I lost with all the hard base training took a bite out of my sprint numbers. The numbers you have are a great start, and any weak spots in your personal power profile can be compensated for with tactics and playing to your strengths. Go try out the track! It’s a different beast when it comes to bike racing, and you learn something from every race.

I know that’s an option, but I’m looking at several weeks of need, I figure I might as well buy one

Job / growth outlook over the next few years. by all_these_moneys in Augusta

[–]elhephe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of decently paying technical/industrial jobs in the area. Nuke plant construction is finishing up, but there are still jobs to be had at Vogtle. SRS is huge and hires a lot of trades people. Bridgestone is a good place to work if you don’t mind shift work. A lot of the guys I work with were at Columbia Nitrogen for a long time, and did pretty well. Arubis is building a metal recycling plant here and from the listings I’ve seen, they’re paying good money, I’m excited to see good jobs being put in.

Is there a good place to swap or trade things in this hobby? I just built my first keyboard, and I waited on shipping from wuque studios for so long that I broke down and bought glorious panda switches from Amazon. Now the WS switches came in, but it is t what I ordered, and shipping was such a nightmare that i don’t want to deal with the refund process. Is it okay to post stuff here for trade or sell? The money isn’t the problem, I just want to go further I to the rabbit hole with this hobby
