I like the look of that badge, Sir @Rupert! Maybe I’ll even do this one (probably not but it’s possible 😜 ). That said, I’d have a hard time calling _ **The Meaning of Ride** _, a 30 min “Inspiration” recovery paced ride a “_NEW_ _workout_” . ---

Two zone 2 workouts? Not very challenging, and who wants to sit indoors doing z2 in summer? I only come to the turbo for structured interval workouts in summer. ---

Yep. If I’m going to do a zone 2 ride in the summer I’m not going to do it outside when it’s 100+. ---

True, and also I live in Britain so summer not really a thing, so silly thing for me to say really, but the preamble to the June Challenge says something about heading outdoors as summer begins. ---

And I stand corrected, one of the rides is a z1 ride. Seems at odds with the word ‘challenge.’ ---

And for some of us June means 40+ degrees. It’s predicted to be a HOT and DRY Summer here. We’re already hitting the 40 part and there’s been fire fatalities. Getting out on a bicycle and having to finish before 9 a.m. is no fun. ---

Hadn’t really considered that it might be too hot to go outside. I did spend a couple of months working in the Californian desert about ten years ago and above a certain temperature we weren’t allowed to exercise outdoors, so good point. ---

I was a bit surprised that Neal Henderson’s Gravel Grinder workout wasn’t included as part of the June challenge. I sure hope it’s exclusion is not in part due to the disbanding of and parting ways from the Sports Science division. ---

Rode up the mountain in Innsbruck today in high Zone 1. It was a brain beater, but I’m recovering from “something”. It feels like a long term case of food poisoning. ---
