Did a Power Station Cash Register double today. Nice combo actually. Solid grindy efforts with some solid sprinty efforts. Solid.
I’ve also been getting creative with my Tour 2024 stage names
I’m almost at the point where I hope the company keeps its member name, just to see the alternatives that you come up with.
Wah wah wah
Now I need a whole new poster! “Wahooboowobba!”
Having done the Power Station and Cash Register double yesterday, today’s calendar would have had me riding with Sir Standsalot @michael.cotty, or rather, sprinting to complete Stage 4 of the “so-called” Sufferlandrian route on the Wibblewobble Tour. But this being the Sufferlandrian Route and Italy, nice as it is, is no Sufferlandria (sorry Sir Mike). Also, looking at the ride profile, there were only 12 sprints and, after Cash Register, I thought maybe I needed to take it easy.
So, instead of the On Location ride, I loaded up GvA’s idea of giving a guy a break. 2 sets of 20® Ugly 15s® for a total of 40® sprints but more rest intervals than Couchlandrians in a donut shop.
Half is Easy for the win-win-win-win etc etc.
All set up to relax with the Couchlandrian Bike Computer in the out front mount:
Knowing the wahoominati (and Dame Karen Noel) would be watching:
And…tada:
What you really need is a FF.
Sir @Glen.Coutts is probably a little crazy, but you sir are just plain mean!
Not saying I disagree with your recommendation, just stating the facts.
You missed the context from several posts ago in another thread.
No, I get it, but if he were to refresh all his targets and then continue on his chaotic journey we’d be exposing the true depths of his glorious suffering.
Hmmm, I suppose that rather than mean, I could say you were being helpful.
It’s one of those things that the forums don’t do very well depending on where you’re viewing them. So it’s easy to miss stuff. Plus, tone is nearly impossible to get without copious use of the winky face or smileys with tongues out.
It seems like you missed that @Heretic was replying to @Cheryl.Vasan’s post about needing a new Tour poster. I’m guessing you thought he was telling me I need a FF. Which I will schedule a weekish after The Tour Whose Name Shall Not Be Uttered.
I could be wrong. I often am
Full Frontal is on my calendar. You are absolutely right!
What you missed is I’d said elsewhere that my January Half Monty results were so off that I’m riding all the Stages at 108% and still Stage 4 felt unchallenging. If you think that recommending a FF was mean, you should know that my own brother is threatening to withhold Strava likes until I storm the castle! Ouch!
I stand corrected. Thanks for the clarification Sir @Glen.Coutts and please accept my apologies @Heretic.
HOWEVER, all this messing about does not change the fact that doing a Full Frontal at this point in the Tour(s) will put you on the path of enlightened suffering and raise you to a level of consciousness not experienced by us mere mortals.
Just trying to be “helpful”. Although based on your updates, the path you’ve chosen to follow already looks blissful.
Btw, I think Cash Register kicked the bliss out of me today.
just do it already!!
No problem.
I rarely take this stuff personally. Life is too short (especially during the Tour of Sufferlandria).
I was clearly responding to @Cheryl.Vasan’s post, and not to @Glen.Coutts. I also tried using an emoticon to indicate my tone.
I just saw that Also, There is No Try
Now, Sir, if you are motivated to do a FF, far be it for me to stand in your way.
lol. I do have FF on my calendar. I like to get one done a weekish post tour as the training overload usually gives me a wee fitness bump.
Which calendar, and what part of it?
If that’s anything like me, it’s in very very light pencil. And has been moved and rescheduled a few times. Tho, maybe not quite as often.
