My weightlifting routine

I mentioned my gym/weightlifting circuit in the recent video about Zone 2 training, a few people reached out asking for more detail around what I do. This is my workout. Before getting to that, it’s important for me to say that I am not a physical trainer. There are a lot of ways to approach gym work. The best approach for you will depend on what your goals are. If you want…

Zone 2 is magic, not a shortcut

I’ve been planning this post for a long time, then a couple weeks ago the NYT posted this article about how Zone 2 isn’t magic. It was all the push I needed… Because it is kind of right, but also mostly wrong. I think the author doesn’t understand how this works, but it’s possible that they dumbed it down so much that it only appears that way because the article is intended…

Garmin Connect+ Scares Me, But I Get It

Hear me out before you grab your pitchfork… I was there too earlier today. I understand the feeling. Garmin’s sell has always been that you pay upfront for a lifetime of “free” features. They bundled the cost of these things with a marginal cost (i.e. maintaining the server infrastructure for Connect, mobile app development to support new OS, etc) into the price we paid at the til. In return, you weren’t buying…

Show MyBikeTraffic some love

I just picked up a new bike computer, and while I was running through the list of ConnectIQ apps I need to install, I noticed that MyBikeTraffic issued a “call for funding” late last month. Having run a few community-gratitude-based FOSS projects in the past, I try to spread the love for things that I find useful. When I find them useful; Keepass2Android guy gets a mega beer, every Oktoberfest🍻.…

Counterpoint, tubeless is The Way

I am a everything, everywhere tubeless advocate. Even Tom, Cycling News Tom, agrees that it’s OK for “large volume” gravel and MTB, so I’m going to agree to agree with him there. Where I disagree is with the idea that road tubeless isn’t worth it. Tom is entitled to his opinion, as is everyone, and they make some valid points. Although, most of the points are more complaints around how things work…

CABDA 2025

Always fun and interesting to check out CABDA (a cycling industry trade show). Fortunately, the Midwest instance is conveniently held in Chicago (er… Schaumburg), so easy for me to attend.…

Sorry, Wahoo… That’s not safe…

If we check the requirements that Wahoo posts for the Wahoo Run… They are hefty, and particular… But, the Run is a beast, so it makes sense that it would require a dedicated circuit. The problem is that the Wahoo Run doesn’t respect its own rules, and by doing so creates a massive safety issue. I ran across a post on Reddit last night where the OP had a dedicated 20A (yeah,…
