MyCyclingWeekend Fuelled by Soreen

The biggest race of the season kicks off this weekend but we’ll be out on our bikes.

If you go out, snap a picture and send it in using #MyCyclingWeekend. It can be anything, even you watching the Tour from the turbo!

If you send one in, you’ll be in with a chance of winning a lovely little road.cc swag grab prize.

So, if you need a little inspiration, have a look at the images below…

Didn’t think I’d be spending the summer on the turbo… Hand still isn’t quite right so instead of risking it I’ve been following a turbo FTP booster plan so when I (hopefully) return to the road in a week or two I’m even stronger Hopefully the sun waits around for me…

Clare has a clever way of avoiding the sunshine, injure your hand and then do your summer miles indoors! Ouch, heal up soon!

What a ride today and such a nice place to finish! Big climbs and even bigger descents! At first we were riding top 20 but a fellow biker fell hard and we stopped to look after him. We finished in 27th place. We’re 6th in our age group and 25th in general rankings. Tomorrow queen stage! #alpsepic @gbikes_gerry @orbeabicycles @foxmtb . . #orbea #orbeaoiz #gbikes #gbikesambassador #belgianthefuckup #btfu #pedaltothemetal #werideallweather #mountainbike #enduro #endurance #cycling #cyclingphoto #belgianthefuckup #outsideisfree #nature #outdoor #mycyclingweekend #sıngletrack #nopainnogain #sockdoping #mountainbike #mtb #xc #xco #xcm #mountainsarecalling #alpes

Egon shows that MTB rides can take you to some seriously beautiful places.

That’s the face you make when you conquer the Glandon. It’s a climb that I really really hate, so chapeau to Kelly!

Looks like Pieter has been riding the hill of wind (rough French translation)…

the dartmoor classic sportive // dartmoor . brutal route, event more brutal weather. no sunshine – just lots of torrential rain. Super proud of @rowenachole for making it all the way to the finish

A post shared by Ben Ralphs (@bencr) on Jul 3, 2018 at 8:19am PDT

Ben did the Dartmoor Classic. That’s a brutal route. Steep climbs and plenty of wind.

Looking forward to some serious alpine climbs again this weekend. It’s been a few years now since I’ve done any, the last time being heading to Bormio. Here’s a shot from the top of Passo Dello Stelvio. This time I’m away with @allthingsride for @letapedutour . . . . #attacuscycling #norulesjustride #wahooligan #shimanorider #stelvio #roadslikethese #allthingsride #etapedutour

Just look at the Stelvio in the sunshine, stunning!

I'll counter that by saying the Bryton 750se I have drives me nuts at times. Inconsistantly picks up on routes created on Komoot and the app re-syncs every few seconds when trying to set up the device and sends me back to the home screen. The most infuriating one is that I turned live track on. Once. It now won't turn off and repeatedly flags up the live track is starting, and then disconnecting every few seconds whilst riding. I haven't timed it but it wouldn't suprise me if 10-20% of the time the the screen is covered with an error message. That's been about 6 weeks now. Other than that it's great :/

@Paul J Van Schip certainly seems a bit of a dick, but he's a European and multiple World Champion on the track, pretty sure you don't get there without having some talent in your legs.

Poor Vincent cannot get over the simple fact that given the choice people prefer dedicated cycling spaces, rather than pretending to be cars like vehicular cyclists.

What is the point of the fancy air sensor if it can't account for changing weather conditions?? If all you care about is a delayed approximation of aerodynamic watts in steady conditions, you don't need any special sensors for that. Just your speed on a decently flat course is enough to approximate rolling resistance and drivetrain losses. And the rest must be aero. If you assume a less aero body position at the same watts, your speed will drop while rolling resistance also drops, which means approximated aero watts goes up. And that's enough to demonstrate what you've shown in your testing protocol ("I sat upright and the number went up a little while later").

in: Could correcting your aero position in real time really unlock free speed? I put the new Wasted Watts Tracker to the test to find out

Your correction is accurate - it's almost always been "the (lack of) thought that (doesn't) count". "Massive" - less than a billion a year spent on active travel (trying to catch up / building a network across the entire country) Not massive - 6 billion every year (2026-2030) spent on road *maintenance* of existing "already built, goes everywhere, very convenient" road network for inactive travel Ultimately the reason "cycle infra" is *needed* is those unbelievably colossal amounts spent every year (and for more than a century now) on making mass motoring not just viable but apparently the "best choice" for most journeys. As the Dutch and others have shown, the majority of people *are* prepared to cycle and even mix with very light, slow local motor traffic *if* cycling is also made safe and convenient for the whole of their journey (including secure parking at both ends). (The history of the financial drivers of the current situation are a complex topic but note that while people complain about "crumbling roads" and underfunded motor infra - with some reason - by us continuing the fuel duty escalator freeze (for example) we're actually helping motorists pay *even less* for that activity / subsidising more of the cost of driving than ever.)

yes, but people will still object - which was my point.

So ' Priority of Road Users' and 1.5 metre clearance at 30mph has been been reduced to 'sharing'? NCN route 2 here in South Hams is an absolute scream with white vans, tractors and total idiots who refuse,or are totally incapable,to reverse on high Devon banked lanes ...means you have to get off and pedal back to a passing place....could be at that all day...so I don't bother...

@MaxiMinimalist Agreed. The big problem I see now is today's parents grew up being driven to their schools, and therefore, see private motor vehicles as the only viable form of transport. The vast majority of UK infant and primary schools have a catchment area that is within easy walking distance from home to school. Yet, the traffic caused by pupils being driven to/from school is astonishing. Banishing the "School Run" should be a priority for all schools.

When I was a kid (that was during the previous millenium when phones were connected to a plug in the wall), I rode my bicycle to school, music academy, sport grounds, parties even during the winter. The government didn't have to spend, correct that, didn't have to think of spending massive amounts of money to build cycling specific infrastructures. Over the past 3 or 4 decades, cars have grown bigger, taller, safer (for their drivers) and faster. Meanwhile, motorists have become abusive, aggressive, hypersensitive to people moving on two wheels, aka cyclists. Spending billions upon billions on new infrastructure won't address the crux of the matter. Sadly.
