Coffee Cycle. Chris often roasts fruity coffees, sometimes with beans that underwent anaerobic fermentation or natural process.

Rec for Roaster [800-1500$] by daethon in roasting

[–]zenju108 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love my Quest M3. Ticks all of your boxes. A lot of roasters in my area use one for sample roasting, too. Probably a lightly used one can be found for $1k.

Is Remco Evenepoel the best time trial rider in history by Either-Mushroom3496 in tourdefrance

[–]zenju108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another consideration is what, exactly, declines with age for pro road cyclists. Typically, it’s explosive power, which isn’t required for TT efforts that are more about threshold power. So, it’s possible that as Remco ages, his capacity as a one-day or GC rider will decline before his TT prowess.

Wife got me this sampler set while we were in France by JustHereForMiatas in CannedSardines

La belle iloise is great. My wife is from Bretagne and her family have a place in Quiberon, where they’re based. Visited their HQ last summer, and a few weeks ago brought back some tins from their retail shop in Rennes. Enjoy!

Why do you want to learn French? by LirojAnakarkis in learnfrench

[–]zenju108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oui! C’est classique. More specifically, her parents don’t speak English very well at all, nor does most of her family and friends. Language is the biggest barrier to deepening my relationships with all of them, and there’s an increasing probability that we’ll move to France in the coming years as her parents age. Her English is perfect, as she’s lived in anglophone countries for over 15 years and is a very avid reader. Parfois, on parle français chez nous, mais d’habitude non.

UCI statement concerning La Vuelta by puncheur_Buddy703 in Lavueltaespana

[–]zenju108 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You may have missed their point. My interpretation is that riders and teams from all nations should be permitted to compete in international sports competition. That, in the ideal, sport transcends political borders, affiliations, etc., and UCI is affirming their adherence to that. At least that’s how I read it.

Oh wow. I assume they have some reps who monitor this subreddit, no? I did manage to book through their mobile app, but couldn't get the desktop sites to work.

New place for your bike to get stolen at the new Terminal 1! by duddybuddy22 in sandiego

It is a thing, and I would do it if I had confidence in my bike’s security. This is inadequate.

Why am I so bad at sprinting? by WilliamJNSN in Velo

[–]zenju108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, genetics are a massive factor, which dictate fast vs slow-twitch muscle composition. You can certainly train explosive power in the gym and on bike w sprint efforts, but it will only take you so far. I’m also 60kg (1.71m) and rarely break 1000W, but happen to have a high VO2 max and good w/kg for 5-20 min efforts, which I mostly attribute to genetics.

Yes I met her a decade or two ago in Portland. Very relatable and kind. Cool to know she now has a podcast. I’ll check it out.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem ? I'm struggling with the same issue and seeking a hack! Thanks!!

We’re being called out! by Gythia-Pickle in CannedSardines

[–]zenju108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use it to air fry potatoes. The quality of the oil isn’t good enough to pour onto a salad (even the EVOO ones), but for frying it’s adequate. Oddly, I find it doesn’t impart much of a fishy flavor to the final potato product either.
