@irishpeloton You definitely should buy a Canyon Endurace CF SLX 8 Di2. It is a great bike. Probably among the best in terms of quality/price relationship for an amateur cyclist.

A ride report I'd love to write (and it were not fiction)

Imagine racing without sleep for 1200 kilometres (750 miles) and being faced with a group sprint to win. That happened to this man, Hubert Opperman of Australia at the end of Paris-Brest-Paris in 1931. Opperman was the first native English speaker to finish the Tour de France (18th in 1928). He also won the prized Boule d’Or 24-Hour track race. Opperman was an articulate speaker who, after his cycling career, was elected to the Australian parliament, then Australia’s first High Commissioner to Malta, and was knighted. He was articulate with a pen too, as this extract from Sporting Cyclist magazine shows. He wrote about the entire race, but this is him recalling that sprint at the end of his epic trek from Paris to the tip of Brittany and back. “Goodness, what hope would I have now? After 650 miles, much of it leading I was not in the mood to appreciate being caught. There was but one way to combat it, to attack before the teams had chance to do anything. I ground to the front, pushed my heart down between my teeth and swung into a steady pace, causing the others to forget attacking for a while. “But it was no good, grinding away wasn’t burning off the favourites. I had to attack, and did so with 15 miles to go, only to be caught as we entered the finish. My breath sobbed in my throat. Was I to have the race taken away? “Into the big cement bowl we sped with Emile Decroix leading, Leon Louyet close. But Decroix could do nothing, instead Giuseppe Pancera made his bid. I followed Pancera, and soon we were at the point where I would make my sprint. “Jumping to the front, we rounded the bend and into the straight. I could hear the wheels all about me. Surely, I must be beaten. But no, the line shot past and my wheel reached it first. I had won.” That desperate sprint must have been something, but winning was only half of it. Opperman needed to cash in on his fame. Next day he raced a criterium in Antwerp, then another in Brussels, then back to Paris, then up to Amsterdam. Everybody in Europe wanted to see Hubert Opperman. 📸 Le Miroir des Sports #cyclinglegends #cyclingstories

@irishpeloton @daniellloyd1 @luptonn It is a shame. It would allow Netflix to position themselves strongly in the sports streaming vertical... And give cycling a stable home.
(The amount of times I explained GCN+ to a non-cyclist as the Netflix of cycling)

While I love the nuances of endurance training&physiology, the essentials to both health&performance are quite simple:
Train at an easy to moderate intensity on a daily basis.
High intensity training on 1-3 days per week, when you’re recovered from the previous session.

Goosebumps every time I watch it.

A 53yo triathlete took 12 weeks off training and his VO2max dropped 10%, the equivalent of 15 years of aging.
Then he resumed training, and 12 weeks later his VO2max was 5% *higher* than baseline. A neat case study with interesting muscle biopsy data:

Guess who plans to be there...
In my opinion the best organised Super Brevet.

At what kilometer will it be the coffee stop? I hope they have scones.
I don’t have any questions about the helmet [13/13]

What is the equivalent of wheelsucking in running? Is it considered good form to sit on someone's shoes for kilometers and then outsprint that runner in the finish line? Asking for a friend [12/13]

I'm a cyclist. I am running my first marathon tomorrow. I have a few last minute questions 👇 [1/13]
