Did this last night. Awesome, well done. Would have loved to have been in the planning session for that one. Procrastinate test!! Funny.
And to boot, two times up the Moskesstraat from the Brabantse Pijl (also from the Worlds in '21), my local stomping grounds, with the S-Bocht at the end.
Keep up the good work. Your brainstorming sessions for new content must be so much fun. I wonder which crazy ideas get left on the table because they are too crazy.
Was going to do Tapers, but I had been wanting to do this since I saw it. This will be a regular either between hard sessions or coming back from time off. Well done, lets have some more.
Pretty neat stuff here. It comes to show that SUF is still alive contrary to what we have feared. I know music is subjective but the playlist made my cadence soar, I actually had to force myself to go down to 90 when usually my comfort zone is 85…the power of music…
The narrative is pretty cool, I think this will be the go-to workout after recovery week to hit the the training block hard.
The gloves after the procrastinate check did make me grin though xD.
Thanks for the kind words.
There is no brainstorming session as such.
The basic process usually goes like this:
1- GVA opens the door of our minion’
s cell,
2- He grunts something about wanting a new session produced.
3- He drops a couple of VHS tapes of cycling races he traded for cabbage and real pagne on the blackmarket
4- He hands over a fistful of special Sufferlandrian magic mushrooms that we immediately start chewing
5- We then play the VHS tapes while riding our 55x10 single speed at 95RPM on the fluid trainer and wait for the 'shrooms to kick in.
6- Then the non-ilitterate minion (there is just one and he stays off the mushrooms) scribbles down the nonsense we come up with while getting delirious on the trainer… And a new Sufferfest is born…
Just completed this after two weeks of academic suffering that did nothing for my numbers. Beautiful, such a great way to jump back in. Thank you to everyone that made it happen. And it feels so good to be home.
Did anybody else notice that on the “easy spin” in Couchlandria at the beginning the video is mirrored? You can see a few signs and text on the bikes that are backwards… and of course the riders are on the left side of the road. Is @Francois-Wahoo trying to suggest that Couchlandria is located in Great Britain or maybe even Australia? Is our Chief of Suff actually a Couchlandrian resident? Major plot twist people…
It’s not available on SYSTM app for, I tried logout and back on, closed the app and reopened, still can’t find new one. Is is limited to certain riders.
Cobbler comes to mind which has cadence targets synced to the music BPM. So it is not the first.
I tend to hit the cadences quite well. With cobbler it is quite easy since you just have to pedal to the beat.
Here is the explanation from Francois-Wahoo for cobbler:
I have done Cobbler five times, and I never noticed that.
I guess the difference is that in “No Place Like Home” it was done as a “test” with small step increases. Therefore, I was paying more attention. In Cobbler, as a “race of long duration”, I was less focused on the exact cadence, and I never pedal to the beat.
If the cadence target is steady, I usually can get it plus or minus 1, but in “No Place Like Home” you have to make 2 step increases in 40 second increments. I wonder what the purpose of those small increments is.
I notice right away when the suggested cadence is on the music’s beat because I find it difficult not to pedal with the music! So, when I first did Cobbler, I was pleased to notice the difference!
I noticed during one of my Cobbler videos that when I looked from chewing stem that my cadence of 68rpms was perfectly matching the target on screen. So, the music matching the target definitely plays a big part.
NPLH!
