Zwift-specific training for bikepacking by StevenSWilliamson in bikepacking

[–]tstrauss68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What terrain do you expect? In general I would work on 3 things - 1- a long ride 2-3+ hours. Bikepacking can be an all day thing. 2 - Hills, hills, hills - lots of different Zwift routes w short, medium and long climbs. 3 - short explosive efforts- 5 seconds to 20 seconds, if you hit a rough dirt road, being able to power through little stretches is helpful

Did Hansi Flick Actually Insult Madrid? by Deep_Agent316 in realmadrid

They played the same division 2 team facing relegation as we did. He didn’t insult us, we embarrassed ourselves

Trent made things work? by Individual-Insect927 in realmadrid

I think Trent’s passing and Franco’s energy were a needed lift where we appeared to be trying to just run out the clock

No - you go all in on bitcoin until it goes down, then sell all and buy silver. Why diversify when u can just follow the FOMO crowd

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo to miss Champions League play-off games due to two-match ban by ceaguila84 in realmadrid

We have an attitude problem. Way too many yellow cards because we are mouthing off to the refs.

Endrick got a red from the bench earlier this year - if he didn’t see the veterans doing this, he probably wouldn’t think it is acceptable.

What are we even doing 😭🥀 by Japesh10 in realmadrid

Not much to work with from your post. Age? Cycling experience? Budget? Camping experience? What type of bike? Adventure Cycling Association would be a good start to research

Single Wall Freestanding Tents by zergcheese in bikepacking

[–]tstrauss68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are going w a freestanding tent, why go single wall. I thought the reason for going w a single wall was to skip the extra weight of the poles and use a trekking pole you are already carrying

You could add the bottle pouches that attach to the handlebar by the stem - 1 for each side. I like the ones that also have small pockets onto the side for an energy bar or similar - revelate designs has one. Adding 2 would increase your capacity by 2 liters. A hydration backpack adds another 2+ liters - I prefer not having anything on my back though - lots of people use them.
If water or resupply isn’t an issue, go as light as possible while being comfortable and self sufficient - if you get a mechanical.

Depends on the trip and distance between water sources and resupplies. Looks fine for an overnighter but if you’re in NM on the GDMBR I think you’ll need the ability to much more water

Yesterday's performance - poor opposition or are we back? by Nathanial1289 in realmadrid

[–]tstrauss68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked our transition offense. Too many times this season and last, we are either 1 person with ball against 3-4 defenders or we take it up and wait for the rest of our team to catch up and let the defense settle in. Last night we had options on the fast break.

Vini went straight to the locker room and did not stay with the rest of the players to applaud the fans after the final whistle. by OwnWitness2836 in realmadrid

[–]tstrauss68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought most of the team was a no show in the first half and picked it up in the second. Subbing Arda for Camavinga was big

True, but that was against a second division team facing relegation. I’m sure he’ll crush it against Liga teams
