I just don’t see myself at their level.
@ Jetlink « Sat 11:24:13 pm »
But I knew the pros were big propents of spinning fast.
@ Jetlink « Sat 11:23:47 pm »
I wouldn’t have thought that. He said it will be easier on my knees and muscles too.
@ Jetlink « Sat 11:22:58 pm »
Maybe I misunderstood the chart he was showing me then. Or I was gleaning the wrong data off from it. Regardless. He showed me that that my current averages on the bianchi with the gear ratio’s I use are a cadence of about 60. He said shift down 1 or 2 and pedal faster. I will gain. I did. He was right.

i’ll have to time it when i’m on my next nice flat ride and use the stopwatch feature and double check mine.
@ ~Z~ « Sat 8:27:37 pm »
LSR will appreciate that. 120-130 sounds very high... the pros do 100-110 it seems. Google says lance armstrong rode at 110.
@ Jetlink « Sat 8:21:06 pm »
He suggested in the 120-130 range.
@ Jetlink « Sat 8:20:36 pm »
Sounds like my normal cadence is about 60.
@ ~Z~ « Sat 8:18:51 pm »
right, when we were riding on Thurs, I definitely noticed I’m at a higher cadence than you were. I try for just over 80rpm, so a little more than 1 cycle per second.
@ Jetlink « Sat 8:12:28 pm »
I tried it today. It seemed to work. But he was suggesting a much faster cadence than I could get to today. But still it seemed to help.
@ Jetlink « Sat 8:11:47 pm »
He suggested a lower gear ratio and a faster cadence.
@ Jetlink « Sat 8:11:11 pm »
I was looking for a higher gear ratio..

I got some riding tips at the bike shop. Tried to follow a few of them. Seemed helpful. I was getting 17-18 mph into a 10 gust 17 wind.
@ Jetlink « Sat 6:28:23 pm »
I had a 27 mph split.
@ Jetlink « Sat 6:28:11 pm »
Old Bianchi. New surly is getting some component swaps and different tires. Won’t have it for a week or two.

@ AARR « Sat 4:12:34 pm »
Didn’t keep track of miles or speed but I’m sure I was well below 19mph. Probably around 13-14.
@ AARR « Sat 4:11:31 pm »
32-33 miles on my alphabet trails.

Took a nice bikey earlier today. Took a new bike from the bike shop in Ionia for a test ride to Saranac and back. It was a Surly Cross Check.

Just back from the friday night football game. The home team got Pummeled 48-7 I think by Lansing Sexton.

Thanks guys. Guessing I was doing 12-13mph most of the ride, but did lay the hammer down a bit more with jetlink as we had some nice smooth trail and motivation at cedar springs(taco bell) to consume :) Route I took: https://railroadfan.com/images/Belding- ... 092123.jpg
@ Jetlink « Fri 8:13:55 am »
Z is very tough. He had been riding all day with gear. He look hot and tired. But he jumped on his bike and started riding at a fast pace. I looked at my phone and we were doing 17 mph.
@ AARR « Fri 6:44:40 am »
Congrats Jet and ~Z~. Those are nice accomplishments.

2 years ago this team from Owosso beat them on a snowy november day. It was the only game they have lost in the last couple of years. So they were super happy with today’s game.
@ Jetlink « Thu 10:37:48 pm »
Ruby’s 16u soccer team bested Owosso 4-1 in today’s contest. Lots of Driving last couple of days. Live from home now.

Trail is still closed at the moment between Big Rapids and Howard City, but supposed to be getting done soon.
