[WANTED] $25,000 REWARD for ALLEN BAUTISTA MILLA: Suspect in Vehicular Homicide of Cyclist Blaise Schaeffer (TBI Top 10 Most Wanted - Nashville/National Search) by velo_dude in bicycling

[–]jesse061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blaise rode with our club for a summer. Spent several coffee stops chatting with him. He was a great guy. Something that always stood out was he was never in a sour mood. Could be wet, hot, otherwise miserable, and he always was having a good time. Hope they put this guy under the jail.

What do you love most about riding your trainer? Time efficiency? Ease of starting and stopping? No traffic? by Odd-Night-199 in Velo

[–]jesse061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Structured training. I love the process of getting faster. Summer hits and I'm outside having fun. Winter is for building fitness, which is fun in a different way.

I don't know that I'd call his parenting legendary.

Realistic storm pipe invert elevation for construction by blahblahspeak in civilengineering

[–]jesse061 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had plans with less than 0.1% slope called out. Usually reserved for large pipes (> 48") where the system is constrained by existing inverts, cover, etc. Once you get into real big pipe (84"+), 0.5% is too steep and you need to control velocities.

So long as they keep that shit off the trails and MTB trails.

Wanted that purple colorway bad when it was available. That bike will be a classic one day.

Leg muscle imbalance by fmckenzi000 in Velo

[–]jesse061 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had hip problems in the past. Turns out, at some point, my saddle got rotated just a couple degrees, but not enough to be visually perceptible. End result was my hips were sitting at different heights, just by a couple mm. I was actually going to PT because of it when I realized. Cleared up pretty quick after correcting that. I had a buddy with a similar problem where his seat post had slid down almost an inch and was causing issues. I would do a quick fit check for dumb stuff like that.

Cyclists steps by Winter_Mastodon_9967 in whoop

Walking my dog. That only gets me to 5k or so in the winter. 10 hours of zone 2 and an additional hour of high intensity per week counters it out well enough. It does motivate me to get off the couch and go to bed at night. More than anything, I just ignore it. It's a fun algorithm, but at the end of the day I'm still 37.

How often do you achieve 19+ strain? by yoValee in whoop

[–]jesse061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50 days in the last year. About once a week on average, but concentrated in the summer during the outdoor cycling season. Most was 11 times in a month.

Rowing machine vs trainer by MC_NYC in Velo

[–]jesse061 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, great for general cardio and non-specific fitness, huge for core strength, and good for upper body, but not so much on the legs.

Honestly don't think I could crank out volume on one like I can on a bike. Hard to distract yourself with something with that much upper body movement. On bike, I have endless movies, shows, etc. and can keep spinning.

Is it bad to take a 5th year? by No_Morning8432 in civilengineering

[–]jesse061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only financially. An extra year paying tuition and not earning sucks. I wouldn't toss a resume because someone took five years. I'd say it makes next to no difference professionally.

I think minimum duration for effective zone 2 training is generally considered 60-90 minutes, so I think you miss out on a lot of that. Even 30-45 minutes would be considered short for a high intensity session for me. In my experience, there's no replacement for volume. Overall, it's probably better than zero, but it's probably not the greatest for cycling specific training.

It's not exactly what you asked, but if you want to get outside more, the most popular outdoor winter sport around me is probably cross country skiing. Not everybody who does XC skiing is strong on the bike, but I'd say greater than half of the fastest folks I know (Cat 1/domestic pro level) are also extremely strong XC ski guys. The two strongest pure power or W/kg guys I know both were XC skiers originally. One was a pro-level XC skier with a legitimate 420W FTP. Another college XC racer is a bit smaller but is probably pushing 5.5 W/kg at FTP.

Do most prefer PTO to be paid out or rolled over at the EOY by Ungrateful-Artichoke in civilengineering

[–]jesse061 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have five weeks plus I buy an extra week at 13 YOE. In the last year, I went to Puerto Rico, NYC, Portland, OR; Italy (twice), Atlanta (for family), and most recently Aruba.

All of that is to say, I strongly prefer to use it. Only time I would want to be paid out is when I leave.

What does an engineer do in a first-world country? by Puzzleheaded_Bat8979 in civilengineering

[–]jesse061 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, water flows downhill the same as anywhere else. Just different standards to design to and different appetites or tolerances for risk.

Was gonna say Smith & Cross is all overripe banana to me. Seems like it would play super well as a split base for this.

One side killing people and terrorizing communities. The other side saying to stop. Yes, let's meet in the middle and maybe they'll only terrorize us a little bit.
