I assume you got him a power meter and TR subscription?

Been doing stuff to help my mom, tonightâs mission was to trench along the sidewalk to bury low voltage cable and put in some lights at the steps off the street:
Then back to the hotel for another family night at the hotel gym:
Thankfully Iâm the only one that wanted the Peloton bike.
Off to Iceland:
Love riding crap roads!
Super easy recovery spin after 2 days of working outside in the heat.

Sub-5 Hour century! Including stops and not aided by the wind! Is it cheating to do it on my TT bike? Wasnât flat by any means, 3800â in 100 miles.(ok, thatâs pretty flat, but could be flatterâŚ)

As a former IM triathlete, it is not cheating to do it on your TT bike. Well done. Separately, Iâm glad you acknowledged 3800â across 100 miles is, in fact, pretty flat cuz I was already reaching for the reply button before I saw your paranthetical 
.
For me, yesterday was âpretty flatâ: a 1hr quickie with 1200â in 17mi. In fact, the ride included flat, a chunk of flat, a whole 5 miles of it.
Just a basic local ride. Descending down to the lakeside from home.
Nothing too photogenic with the GoPro is mounted below the bike computer on the flat section, but hereâs a mobile speed camera for your curiosity, seen on first half of the one hill climb.
Just before the break in the climb is this climbing gym. Two sides of the building (the other being the streetside left out of frame, sorry about that) are climbable. Those are people not mannequins (didnât write âdummiesâ because I donât know them), and there were a couple to the left on the other side. Itâs about 1:30p, so lunch break climbs I suppose. (I approached from the left and pulled onto this sidestreet for this pic.)
On the break of the climb looking at the second half of the climb, which looks quite mellow from here. The position of the GoPro meant there were no good pictures of the lake or of Zurich on the climb.
Returning home.

Well that didnât go as planned!
The rain was off and on all afternoon and torrential at times, thankfully before my TT tonight it stopped. So I got a very short warm up before the race the bike sounded a bit like a chainsaw though so I spent the warm up trying to diagnose that and I never noticed until the start line that the right shifter had come loose I had hoped the wire tension would be enough to hold it in but I was wrong it came loose as I progressed to higher gears and about 1.4miles in it came out all together. Cue the remainder of the race on the base bar. At least stanima wise despite the bike being in a relatively high gear it felt comfortable and judging by my HR there was more to give despite setting power records for most of it. Annoyingly the disc wheel twisted in the drop outs yet again and I finished the race with the brake sticking. Or it might have been in the mad dash to find the shifter bit before it got dark and the storms started again. I found part of it but not the whole. Fortunately it seems that campagnoloâs retaining clips for 10sp (my old shifters) are the same as 11sp (my current shifters).
The first bit of the TT was pretty poor till it fell out and after a seconds pause (do I stop and look for it straight away, or not ) it was quite OK on the base bar, perhaps I could have went a bit more flat out though.
The bike still seems to be making a grating sound so Iâll put it in the stand in a moment and plead with a lbs to look at the drop outs before my next race.

Just tell the significant other that you clearly need a new TT bike with disc wheels and wireless shifting.

Came back from Texas, last night had a 2 hour endurance ride but had to cut it short. Push some tempo for a bit, to not fall off the training load bandwagon. Gave the new Vittoria N.EXT a push and have some fun with a light tailwind:
just 1 second off my best on the Second Grantline pass, should have pushed harder:
however Iâd still be #2 on that Strava segment⌠My âadopted sonâ took the KOM from me two years ago, and 14 seconds is a lot of time. Plus he is 25 yrs old, just under 5W/kg with a 330+W 40-60 minute useable ftp (not some short feel-good ftp test), and was invited to go with the Voler Factory Racing team to La Vuelta a Quintana Roo (Cancun) at the end of the month.
Rode with him tonight, we got a late start and did the Wed group ride in reverse. I did some intervals until meeting up with the lead group, and then pulled two guys that got dropped. Continuing to push out 90-day and 2023 power curve:
Solid 5-min pull at almost 110%, got some fist bumps and atta boys from the guys I was pulling at 26mph. Gotta build on that over the next couple months, and stretch that speed out to 40 minutes.

The A Loop - all solo attempts⌠20mph @ 205W. Not quite 20/200 @anthonylane
6 car traffic jam:
A lot of cut grass these days, perfect for my allergies
81F / 27C at ride start - wore my new long sleeve summer jersey:
Pretty sweet! A little warm at the start, better than slathering on sunscreen 
Front derailleur battery was dead at the end

Good thing it wasnât the rear battery, because then youâd have to swap it while riding like Sepp Kuss

Did some Sprint and Tempo efforts before tomorrows race⌠felt pretty good. Tested the GP 5000 TR in 28 they felt really good and my new Selle San Marco saddle seems to be good to. Looked like it would rain at the beginning but opened up and had even some Sun on the climbs.

Beautiful! Beats âeverything is brownâTexas, for sure.

Went out in search of some terrain that would support 16 minute intervals. Found a place that will work, but canât really shorten the recovery periods shorter than ~10 minutes. Set new power PRâs from 8:20 up to 16:10! Wish the weather would have been better, wet roads and on and off rain, but happy to find a place to knock these out, outside! Too bad itâs not really within riding distance of homeđ

When I told my sister to turn on the darn sprinklers and stop killing my momâs front lawn, I think she decided to get back at me with this not so subtle hidden message:
guess its time to crank up the power on that Strava segment!
