you will note that that was when Full Trucker called me out for ragging on stoney too much. and since then I have been all the way off his back.

:)
So once someone calls us out for giving you too much shit, we too shall stop. And the cycle of life shall continue.


Until then, fuck your ebike, pansy.

:p

where the trails are
Stoney gets no shit for carts, because the little stoner loves it, and she rules.
What he can get shit about is not riding, and very questionable riding choices when he does.

"Dude, I'm way faster at 110% than 90%".

"Fuck those sharp rocks"

me on my peloton right now


I must have missed something but you were giving stoney shit for his kids racing karts?

.....but those are cool


It's not like he bought a house he doesn't live in or something.

It's not so much the karts but rather that coincident/related to that he dropped everything else. But I will not digress further as I'm officially off his back.

And consider this my request to stop, Crabjoe. It's not funny at this point.

I reserve the right to make homoerotic volley ball references, at least reference @MikeD making homoerotic volleyball references. Just incase it gets lost in the archives.

One more year and I'm telling him how to modify yz125 motors that will make his kid far cooler than any mountainbiker alive in 2023

Would do wonders for my search term technique.
are we talking ridemonkey or pornhub searches

actually i do not want to know :D

anyway, I think most of the juicy old-stoney content was under The Jester or TheJester or something like that. and that appears to have been scrubbed.

and for those who are feeling bad for stoney, let this be a reminder that he has dished out the shit just fine on his own over the years:

:D

30’ easy, 45’ at 170W. 1.3 mmol/l at end. Kids watching Jurassic Park.

First time I've ever done an actual power test and it came out to what I thought my numbers would be.

Ramp test leading to best 1 min power = 310W
310x0.75=~233W FTP
11% extra for altitude adjustment=~258W

peloton makes a erg.....did not know...
No erg mode unfortunately. If I maintain “170W” it’s by watching the screen and keeping to the cadence that produces that at the current resistance.

The Bike+ that I have in Denver can auto adjust resistance in recorded rides but I don’t do that since I usually want just 20 or 30’ warmup then a block of 20/30/45 whatever minutes at a certain power. Boring.

new FTP test, up to 236, I set my goal of 250w during the test and managed to hold it. I need to try that again with a 255w, but I'm satisfied gaining over my last ramp test.

Garmin's new Power Guide seems to throw some good anomalies if there's a glitch in the mapping elevation of a course. It's supposed to give you a rough guide that your Garmin head unit will then tell you how hard to be riding to finish within the configured time. Fairly sure I can't do 55440W.

Normalized power for last nights TT was 237w or right at my ftp. Was hoping to hit closer to my 20m power which was 255w to get that ftp. I guess this is down to day of fitness and the actual road? Or maybe I just suck.

If you could hold 55kW all the way up that climb you could gap the whole descent. That uphill landing would be brutal though.
