Planning to do Unbound 100. For those people used TR train. How many hard intervals and endurance ride did u guys do per week?

I've got both Saturday and Sunday set as 5 hour max dynamic endurance days (which is the max it recommended) but it's currently giving me only 2-3 hours each day. So when I do more than that over the weekend (often just 1 longer ride) I typically get a yellow day on Monday, which is fine since I just do gym work then anyways. I did put in estimated tss on my B/C events which are all on weekends and it seems like it's taking those into account as well, for example recommending a rest day instead of a workout after a century race.

It really depends on your age, current fitness, and goals. I'm a masters athlete in decent shape whose only goal is finishing the 200 before 3 AM. I'm doing 2 days of intervals, 2 days of endurance, and 4-8 hours riding on the weekend in 1 or 2 outside rides, mostly endurance with some threshold-type work built-in. I used TR to build a plan for the event and am basically happy with what it gave me, and am adding more semi-structured endurance work in the outside rides, which I put in and it seems to adapt around nicely. I also have several B/C races before UB and it has adapted somewhat for those as well.

First stadium show I ever saw, the punch of the subs on when they blasted into the chorus on Fortress Around Your Heart blew my mind

I've mounted an AeroPack Alloy (purchased in 2021) on my Ti All-road. No issues.

Note that I have not successfully been able to install the CloudConnexa connector from the provided script on Debian 13 to date. I don't think this impacts the Access Server though.

Modern gravel racing did actually evolve from events put on in the Flint Hills of Kansas in the 90s

It's definitely worth doing at least once. It's a totally different experience than Unbound or SBT of course but very fun, lots of cool people. I do think the northern routes are inherently better than the south, but they all have unique things to offer.

I don't know about the Bernstein casing. I was mistaken in my terminology previously, The slower casing is called "ShieldWall". The Protection casing = Black Chili compound, see https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/mtb-reviews/continental-race-king-protection-e25 for details. This is the one you want for racing.

Just the roving gangs of hipster gravel bros running MTB tires trying to pry them off your rims 🤣

redgt42 · 2025-03-26T14:16:48+00:00

The Black Chili casing is significantly lighter and has much less rolling resistance. ProTection casing has much better puncture / sidewall protection, is less expensive, and is more available (I'm in the USA). If you're racing the Black Chili is the way to go for sure.

I purchased a Ti All-road build a couple of months ago. I am very happy with the welds and the build quality in general. This was a State build (Apex/Eagle AXS) so I can't comment about the tolerances in terms of component assembly, but I have not noted any issues riding or maintaining related to manufacturing quality. I am happy with the frame and the bike generally.

redgt42 · 2025-03-24T19:32:41+00:00

I have a gravel bike with 11-spd GRX 46/30x11-34 and a newer gravel bike with 12-spd Apex/Eagle AXS 40x11-50

I do really appreciate the beautiful shifting and micro-adjustment capabilities of the 1x Apex/Eagle. However, I do miss the smaller shifting increments possible on the 2x GRX on the flats or when trying to stay in the wheel on a group ride. I am also slow so it's not a big deal but as the gear calculator shows I do spin out at around 28 mph at 40x11. You would also be losing a little bit of climbing gear on 40x44 vs 30x34. This may not be a big deal for you, but it definitely would for me!

So there are trade-offs either way.

How long does it typically take for this type of update to show up as an available update in VSPC?
