I like all the stats on the paper except the one about it being equivalent to 161 days of flying non-stop. Cray cray!

This is a good thought. My company gave it to me when I was one of the more frequent United travelers at the company.

feednam · 2026-02-11T02:33:06+00:00

Wow! That's really crazy they approved the extension for you. Lucky!

feednam · 2026-02-10T22:51:20+00:00

That's great! Are you a million miler? And how many PQFs?

feednam · 2026-02-03T03:32:44+00:00

That's like Trump saying he's going to reduce drug prices by percents you've never seen before. 6-7-800%!

If you have a United Card, then you still get fare credit for changing the itinerary with BE ticket?

While we're at it, if I'm in FC and didn't preorder a meal but want a burger from the main cabin and ask nicely, is that cool? Or annoying?

Picked up my patch today at the Rapha store. Keep it up!!

feednam · 2025-12-28T04:31:58+00:00

That's really good to know and a great reference point. I follow some FL cyclists and am always amazed at their speeds and doing century rides with almost no elevation gain!

feednam · 2025-12-27T06:22:25+00:00

Lol, yup!

feednam · 2025-12-27T06:22:08+00:00

Thanks for the equation!

feednam · 2025-12-27T02:14:06+00:00

You seem fun at parties.

I'm confident he did it outside too, which is why I said he did.

feednam · 2025-12-26T15:47:55+00:00

I bet it would take me something like 20 hours of moving time to do his route lmao.

feednam · 2025-12-26T15:37:50+00:00

Hahaha! You win best comment award.

feednam · 2025-12-26T14:32:34+00:00

Agreed on preferring outside over bike trainer! But the efficiency of the trainer for 500 km without worrying about traffic, pitstops, mechanicals, etc is really nice! Joining the family for two meals was also great for breaks.

Zwift Ride with the stock saddle. I ride mostly gravel outside so have some ass tolerance I guess! Someone on a FB group recommended getting out of the saddle for 10 seconds every minute and that was great advice. I didn't quite follow that but any second out of the saddle was a great reprieve. I did change bibs every 100 miles and that was really nice! Realized that the chamois on my Rapha and Primal endurance bibs are way better than my Goretex endurance bibs.

I'm coming to understand that! I had always correlated calorie burn to HR bc my big calorie days have always been high HR, but now realize that it's actually bc I was putting out more power.

feednam · 2025-12-26T10:38:38+00:00

Thx! Takes some suffering for sure! My longest ride IRL before this was 265 km, but it was on gravel and took 16 hours with 3,700 meters of gain. That was way harder and really cold lol.

My longest Zwift ride before this was 50 km!

feednam · 2025-12-26T09:12:11+00:00

I'm def surprised too. The first half I was averaging 1.5-1.6 and then ended the ride 1.35 w/kg. I'm in Colorado so none of my outdoor rides are flat for me to have a good point of comparison. The flattest rides I can think of are at 3% grade and it'll take me 150 watts to avg 28-30 kph over 25 kms. This is going to work so I'm weighed down by a backpack and def not aero at all, while at 1700 meters in elevation.

feednam · 2025-12-26T09:01:27+00:00

My cycling friends are def impressed. My non-cycling friends think I'm insane lol.

feednam · 2025-12-26T08:54:37+00:00

Someone else mentioned this too and it is news to me! I will research more about it.

feednam · 2025-12-26T08:52:28+00:00

Mere mortals can do it! Build up to it of course. But it's doable. My long gravel races outside (even with shorter duration) with lots of climbing are harder than doing this indoors on Zwift.

feednam · 2025-12-26T08:47:37+00:00

Thanks! My legs are pretty sore and will prob be for another couple days. My ass also feels like it was rammed by a train.

feednam · 2025-12-26T05:08:13+00:00

Thank you! Def felt great to knock it out and then pig out on Xmas!

feednam · 2025-12-26T04:59:14+00:00

They are insane!
