A Case for Indoor Cycling
zhlédnutí 25Před 11 měsíci
This is an older (from April 2021) video I found in the depth of my old computer. Never the less I think the case for indoor cycling is still just as valid as back then. Since the summer is over and I am facing the bad weather season, I am happy to share my motivation and give a small pep talk to anyone who is likewise little inclined to ride outdoors during the winter.

Ride from Bonn to Munich
zhlédnutí 57Před rokem
This four etappe bike-packing adventure took me from Bonn to Munich in April 2022. After a bumpy start in which I almost gave up because I was not able to feel or move my hands due to frosty weather conditions. Eventually, I am glad, I did not. Seeing the footage almost a year on, I am all the more certain, that few people will understand why I did this and why I might do something similar agai...

    Your statement about vEveresting being easier than "normal" Everesting is just false. Sure you can take breaks, but so can you outside in between climbs. What makes vEveresting actually more painful is that the bike is just completely stiff and stationary, no micro movement to compensate or get into better positions while you ride. Also the massive amount of sweat / heat because of lack of real airstream. Both variants have their pros and cons, but there is no "easier" variant.

    • @MonstrMinion
      @MonstrMinion Před 2 lety

      Thanks for the insights, kiform. This vEveresting challenge is my only experience, so I can't really compare. It was just my (maybe naive) assumption, that everesting IRL is even more demanding, than the vEveresting on Zwift.

    I rode 3 hours on zwift 2 days ago which was my longest ever indoors activity. I can't imagine everesting outside, let alone on a trainer :) My biggest accomplishment is 100 miles with 10k feet climb in one day outside before lol. Maybe it'll change. Collecting badges is fun. Congrats!

    Silly but really great ride, Man! :) Big Respect!! Definitely it was a mental victory. It was worth such huge effort. What was your trainer difficulty setting in zwift during this ride? what smart trainer did you use? what was the most used gear ration? what zwift frame and wheels you used? Really interesting to know :) Thanks!

    • @MonstrMinion
      @MonstrMinion Před 3 lety

      Thank you, really appreciate your kudos! Silly indeed :-) Here's the specs of my used setup: Trainer difficulty: 50% Trainer: Tacx Neo Most used gears were 39-25, 39-23 and 39-21, depending on the steepness of the climb; (I'm using an 11-28) Used bike frame was the Canondale SuperSix EVO, which is only available upon reaching lvl 36 Wheelset was the Lightweight Meilenstein; However I suppose you can also use the Zipp 202 or any other 4-star weight wheelset. Hope that gives a good overview over my setup.

I usually train on my Wahoo Snap with difficulty set to 100% and it is really hard when climbing steep hills.

  • @TomasNorrman

    Good job! 12 h 20 min indoors would be too much to handle for me right now, maybe after 30-40 more training ascents and a couple of test runs with 3-5 ascents during my indoor season that starts in a couple of weeks or so. Two big thumbs up 👍👍
