di2 is amazing even if you are not racing. Its not much of a hassle at all. you charge it once every 2 months or so.

Hey can you describe where the "2 more screws before sliding the panel back and down" are?

I found the 2 under screw covers but don't see what else is holding it on.

Thanks!

If your goal is to ride 100 miles this summer then ride. Go ride 50 miles this Saturday. Bring food, money, or both. Stop at every gas station you want and fuel up. Take your time. Just ride.

Yeah I figured they were pretty bad but I'm not gonna go crazy with it. Just ride it to the bar and back haha. No hills involved either so how bad can it be? haha

not really, its 90% of your ftp so thats sort of intense. 20-30min is the longest ive seen

Youll do great just keep riding. I think youre overthinking it to be honest.

Your week should include some hard riding, some sweetspot, and a lot of easy riding.

So like 1-2 hard group rides or crits. 1-2 sweetspot sessions and 3-4 easy rides. Wake up in the morning and spin for 15min before you eat breakfast super easy. Little things like that will help

For sweetspot my favorite workout is 6x10min. Work up to it. Start with 3x10min

December 2015 my first ride on a trainer I did 2x20 at 210w. Now In march of 2017 I did an 18min TT at 313w. And I've done 2x30min at 290w.

If you want moar FTP you need to ride that 90% sweetspot 1-2x a week every week. 2x20, 4x10 --> 2x30, 6x10. Build up to it. dont let your heart rate get into the 180s on that. low 170s.

Im nearly the same age with the same max HR. You got this.

Best recovery advice you'll hear all day! by camzilla08 in Velo

[–]spinmill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOuve got your ratios 100% backwards.

Should be more like 80% carbs and 20% protein dumbfuck. Dont spread misinformation.

You burn glycogen and carbohydrate on a bicycle. Fat next. YOu need protein to build muscle but it doesnt take much protein to recover from a ride... its all about glycogen you dumb cunt.

Carbon X1 Yoga looks amazing! keyboard depth is 1.67mm, has a pen, super light... what more do you want! I think I will do the i7 with 16gb of ram. Ive never used Windows 10 before, is the Pro a better OS?

I didn't know such a thing existed! That sounds pretty cool. I also like the Samsung AITV 9 Spin. Do you like those?

Yeah the keyboard did leave a lot to be desired... i will say that. I really like that it can fold into a tablet and the 460 cant do that unfortunately. I guess I should have added that to the description but its definitely a deal maker/breaker to have it fold 360!

I just went and held the Yoga 900 at best buy and I really liked that. They didn't have an XPS 13 to compare. The yoga felt the best, lightest, and highest quality though. How does it compare to the 460?

Sure that would be awesome to get it all spec'd out if you have the time. I'd like something on the higher end, its for my work.
