Cycling Memes and Jokes

But it’s also flat!

:drum:

I mean, I lost a piece of my eaves/fascia today, but it would have been worth it if ANY of the segments in my neck of the woods ran diagonally SW->NE… 52f with sustained 40mph tailwinds plus gusts (70 confirmed in my area) would be kind of a big deal.

Florida is so flat…

I did a 90 minute sweet spot workout outdoors on Saturday. Total time about 1:50, total distance 53.2km (yes I run my bike in metric – ~33 miles), total elevation <70 meters, which makes grade about 0.13%.

I always question the elevation. The data shows different elevations for different laps of the same stretch of road, so barometer changes are in play. But the only real elevation differences are about what you’d expect for drainage on a road, so not way off.

Go check any of the scientific papers written by any of those Nobel prize winners, and let us know what measurement system they used. We’ll wait.
