Check HR Sensor Battery Level

I find it really annoying that my Garmin doesn’t warn me when the battery for my heart rate (HR) sensor is getting low; it does for every other battery powered device I have connected. This is my workaround for that, fortunately the battery usually lasts a long time, so I don’t have to do it very often.  …

Horribly Hilly Hundreds 2021

I originally signed up for the HHH last year, and when it was canceled I deferred my registration for this year. Unfortunately, their signup was early in the year, you know, back when COVID vaccine availability was still a nebulous thing, so I ignored it… Well, karma intervened; I won’t be punting on what will certainly rank among the most challenging things I’ve done… Wish me luck, and if you’re at the…

Another nail in the Keto coffin

I have lots of opinions. Some of them are well-founded, other’s a bit more fluid ;). I do try to keep on top of the important ones, with the idea that as the best available information changes, it might be necessary to change my opinion as well. This is not shaping up to be one of those cases. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t think that Keto is a great diet for…

Ride Across Wisconsin 2021 – one day / 228 miles / 22 mph average

The 2021 Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW) is the most epic thing I’ve ever done. This video attempts to break down the ride as it happened for me, discuss what I learned from doing something at this scale, and the observations afterwards.

Lynskey Performance Titanium Bicycles Is A Strange Company

Eleven months ago I bought a Lynskey GR300 frameset, or maybe I didn’t. I definitely received a receipt from them indicating that I paid, and two-three months later (sorry, it was a long time ago, hard to remember exactly), they shipped it to me. All good, right? Just another normal transaction with a company. The problem is that, yesterday, eleven months after the fact, their new accountant discovered that there was a…

Tips For A Long Ride

I really enjoy going out for a “long ride” (twelve century-ish rides so far this year), many times solo. Fortunately, I’ve never gotten stuck or bonked so I’m reasonably confident in my process. This video walks through what I bring along, and the thought process behind those choices.…

I don’t understand convertible geometry

I’m not questioning that the Allied Echo is neat. Being able to change from road geometry to gravel geometry in under ten minutes is a slick idea, but why? It’s always going to be compromised, mostly here on the gravel side of things with a 40c tire limit and no fender mounts. The other massive hit is to your pocket book. Seems to me that for what they are charging, you could…

Game Changer?

~18 months ago, I changed my diet dramatically. The biggest challenge was mostly the social aspect of shared eating experiences. Which, was very easy during the pandemic because I do 95% of the meal prep in our family, but as the world opened up, that has become more of a challenge. Now that travel and more restaurants are on the table, there are lots of places where there simply aren’t any decent…

Elite RIZER is a better Climb, with one MASSIVE problem

Price. Price, is the big problem. It’s crazy money for a nice-to-have feature; or set of features. But, radiant simulation is cool, and steering is necessary (if you’re Zwift racing), so it is a two birds kind of thing. Still, $1099 is CRAZY, BONKERS, WACK (I could go on) expensive for what you get in practical terms. And, the worst thing is, which Elite is totally acknowledging, it’s going to cost less…

Garmin Drops A Firmware Update, And The Ball

If you have a modern Garmin Edge cycling computer you should see a firmware update available soon. As usual, rollout is measured, so you might be able to jump early with Garmin Express, or you might get stuck at the back of the line. The main problem is that they don’t seem to have paid any attention to the sensor dropout issues that have been plaguing many users (including myself) ever since…
