      I haven't used any tire liners/inner mouse in my rims. I weigh just light enough that I don't think I have as many issues as many of the men out there who are about 65kg. I am also super delicate with how I descend. but I have heard great things about them!

    Non bike multi tools are great, and have often got me out of a jam, but if you want a smaller/lighter one than you have there in your TT bag, then have a look at a Gerber Dime. Super small, super light, still really useful.

  • @obikedog
    @obikedog Před 18 dny

    Definitely agree with free-flow training and listening to the body - after learning the basics! I worked with training plans for a couple years before going on my own. Allowing myself freedom to plan around work, weather, and other last-minute interruptions has certainly helped my training. fwiw I can't recommend Joel Friel's book enough for those looking to get familiar with training basics. Regardless of how I train I find it critical to keep track of chronic training load so I can be sure I'm growing fitness and not plateauing or over-reaching. Strava, Garmin, Training Peaks, WKO, etc. all do good job but imho TP/WKO are hard to beat. Minimizing stops is huge! (Turn off the computer's auto-pause function if it's on.) When I realized my power curve's step at three hours coincided with a stop, I was able to use that as incentive to push it out until I could do 100mi without stopping. Finally I would add it's not possible to keep fitness year round - take a couple weeks off every now and then to keep those hormones in balance. Exercise provides stress. Rest does the rest!

    • @wattwagon
      @wattwagon Před 9 dny

      Joel Friel is a throwback! I read some of his info back when I first started getting into racing. Great to understand basics even though the science has changed a bit since. But that's science! we are always learning more. I think tracking is super important as well. All the apps these days do a good job of taking your body metrics/data and telling you about yourself. But the best is to start to learn how you personally feel first then consult the data.
