Now riding Tacx Neo 2T trainer & Fulgaz app during the winter, which is awesome! Looking forward to riding the roads come springtime on my Zinn Tui e-road bike.

Chilly morning so back inside for a ride. Left five miles to do another time since I ran out of time, but I did the majority of the climbing. Nice rolling hills in Canada. 74 w, 142 bpm.
Northwest loop - Zinn Tui Ebike19.25 miles
Apr 25, 2025
Breezy (started w/a tailwind) and mostly overcast, temp in the low 70s, so I was fine in a lightweight long-sleeve jersey. Most of the roads in this area have been newly chip-and-sealed, so a bit rough but nothing the bikes couldn't handle. Took High Rock to avoid the current paving on Harmony Church, which we hope will be finished soon. A bit of a headwind coming back, as we were getting some outflows from pop-up showers nearby, but none on us. 80 w, 327 cals.

FINALLY got the bikes ready to ride outside; we've been so busy with the gardens in the past month (and still are), but just couldn't wait another day. Sunny, breezy, 60s-70s, very nice day except for the high pollen counts. It felt strange to be riding this bike with a lower stem than my Trek on the trainer. I may need a stem swap, as my lower back got quite sore in the latter parts of the ride. But overall, I did fine, and it was great to be outside again. They are repaving many of the roads to the north, which will be annoying for probably months to come, so hopefully they aren't doing the same to the south. 81 w, 289 cal.

Outstanding fall foliage on this ride in Mass. So many red maples! This is a 30-mile ride, which is far more than I care to ride indoors, so I did the first half+. It's very up and down to start, but all the climbs are short, then, as the rider gets to Plum Island and the park and river, it is flat. I'll do the rest of it one day, which starts flat, then ticks up in the last half. 413' elevation gain, 74 w, 145 bpm, 344 cals.

Birthday ride! Wish it could have been my age (64), but I'm not up to those kind of distances these days, at least not this early in the season. Too bad my birthday's not in October! It's raining here, so this beautiful ride on a sunshiney day in the Austrian Alps was just what the doctor ordered. The first third was mostly climbing and the remaining 2/3 mostly a gradual descent. Got hot foot on the right on the last 15 minutes or so, due to wearing the wrong socks (too thick). 63 w, 139 bpm, 351 cals (that's what I get for doing a mostly downhill ride, sheesh!)

FulGaz crashing for me today so used the native app for my Tacx 2.0 smart trainer. Actually quite good, though it took a little getting used to. Didn't realize that the ride I chose had 907' elevation gain in only 8 miles, so it was tough! But a good workout. 83 watts avg (164 max), 91 rpm (120 rpm max), 149 avg hr (169 max).

New ride I thought would be a good warmup but ended up being hard - a 10% grade in one spot and 7-8% in a couple of others. This would be a good short ride but with a better warmup before the climbs. I was slow as mud since I hadn't warmed up much before hitting the grades. 73 w, 136 bpm, 105 cals

Holland is not totally flat, lots of little ups and downs (and false flats) in this one, some from bridges. I was trying to beat my time from 11 months ago, when I last did this ride, but FulGaz has changed their algorithm, as I'm seeing a pattern of having higher average power this year but slower time/average speed. So, I guess I'll just go by watts on this one, which were 5 higher (81 vs 76) than Feb 2024.
