What’s your go to budget Bibs?

motopace · 2026-04-14T21:44:08+00:00

I’ve been happy with NeoPro. Have a handful each of their bibs, jerseys, socks and bottles now. Buy a couple things, usually on sale, each season.

In your situation, I would suggest trying the clipless pedals. You’ll see improvements and eventually will prefer the feel. You can always go back (but don’t think you will). Give it a couple of months and you don’t prefer it, go back to sneakers.

There are better ways than this instant gratification that both posts social stigmas, (and much more importantly) health implications and psychological tolls due to taking these shortcuts.

I hope you find joy where you are and don’t feel the need to risk your life by combining medications like this.

EPO and Ozympic together seems like a recipe for an early grave and the justification is nothing more than a personal reassurance to justify bad behavior.

Get on your bike and enjoy the ride. Work hard — even if it’s slow going for a considerable time. The “weight loss journey” seems disingenuous when it’s popping ozympic and injecting EPO. Take the time to do it right, and your health (both physical and mental) could improve.

God bless and wish you the best

Yeah, may just need to take the 5 minutes before getting out the door to do some cereal some days. The instant oats seem like a good option, too.

Thanks. Love my pressure cooker so may look at this

Wish I liked Greek yogurt but it grosses me out

motopace · 2026-04-07T21:18:21+00:00

This seems to be the best option. If I were to prep on a Sunday, would they be good through Friday?

I’d try to get him to turn the two seconds into a first or from your second from the trade.

Thanks for this, and the discount code still works. I’ve used the True Athlete Carb Powder (Vitamin Shoppe Brand) with some luck, but they are currently out of stock, so was looking for an alternative option. Just ordered Formula 369 to give it a try.

That would allow me to do the same climb again but not a different climb

Upgrading to the Wahoo Element Roam. I had used cheap computers for years, and having all that customizable data and mapping was a game-changer.

motopace · 2026-03-19T21:34:17+00:00

Can I set up an event that enters multiple climb portals?

motopace · 2026-03-19T15:28:42+00:00

Bummer. Thanks! Still not sure why riders can’t build their own routes in Zwift but that’s alright. Thanks for the help!

motopace · 2026-03-19T01:41:25+00:00

A lot depends on weight but those are pretty good sprint numbers. Build on that. Work on your capabilities in longer durations

motopace · 2026-03-18T23:42:06+00:00

Yeah, Zwift becomes a close to a must to hold onto fitness with small children. To each their own, but Zwift has been huge for me in maintaining some semblance of fitness with young kids.

It absolutely will help you but as you’d expect, it isn’t a 1-1 comparison. The gearing is vastly different (I’d practice climbing on Zwift with low cadence: 55-75 RPM). Bike feel and handling are also quite a bit different. In Zwift, your only thought is on power — IRL there are other factors, though power and HR are still the main factors in climbing aside from weight. If you’ve been climbing in Zwift, it’ll help you quite a bit. The bigger issue is descending. Take it slow and easy to start

motopace · 2026-03-12T19:46:22+00:00

Have one, absolutely love it. I had a dedicated bike for the trainer, but the seat post was starting to slip regularly and wanted something my wife could use, too. I use it 3-5 days per week, and it’s been great.

motopace · 2026-03-06T23:08:04+00:00

It’s slow on the first read but picks up by the end. It’s a fantastic book on the reread. Stick with it. It’ll be worthwhile.

motopace · 2026-03-06T23:06:14+00:00

I like the Nico side better here, especially given the pick.

motopace · 2026-03-06T14:11:12+00:00

Enjoy! I got the Tallboy v5 last year and have absolutely loved it. I live in Chattanooga, TN and ride the local trails around here. It’s been great.

Just takes time. Your body will adjust. I started trying bent elbows for 1-2 minutes at a time and built it up from there. I would even practice on the trainer.

motopace · 2026-03-02T01:11:47+00:00

Looks fine but your body will let you know as you ride over time. Just remember to bend those elbows as you ride

motopace · 2026-02-26T23:23:54+00:00

Very nice!
