350 normalized x 15' .. that cat2 upgrade last season was well deserved Nate. congrats!! doubtful many in the pack in masters 4 could even have sat on your wheel.

Sure wish I hadn’t flatted! Got a chuckle over you guys wondering if it was a fake drop, nope just trying to not ride the tire off! 😂, I actually had plenty of energy left so it was a bummer. Curious though, it’s enlightening to see me riding (Splunk rider to clarify), are my hips rocking too much, I felt great but man I feel like I look horrible?!

The thing about not riding in the break is that cycling is not that big a sport. You will likely be racing these same guys for years yet, so it helps to build a reputation as a guy who is willing to work. You help someone out this race then you are more likely to get help when you need it.

There's certainly a lot of strategy that goes into a successful bike race!

Love the videos guys. I've been binge watching during Covid to help fill the void of no racing. One note; that type of rotation (constant) with less than 5 riders is super inefficient. There are basically 2 of you in the wind at all times. Single file with longer pulls would have been better for the 3 of you at the end. This was a big one for the legend Steve Tilford :stevetilford.com/2011/03/17/two-things-that-drive-me-crazy/ -cheers

I was like geez solid heart rate at 600w+ up the climb Nate! Then I realised it was broken 😝 On a more serious note, how was the Venge? The road surface looks pretty rough in spots.

Venge was great! The new one is much more compliant than the old one. But I think it's all about the tires. 28mm tubeless at 80 PSI make he road feel a lot smoother.

Cool video. It would be great if some day these onboard cameras could be more integrated in the TV transmissions from the pro races. It makes it all so much more intense. Btw - shouldn't the title of this video be "How to miss a breakaway"? ;-)

As for tips for a rookie, we recommend getting your fitness where it needs to be first and foremost. If you're interested in getting faster, and increasing your FTP, well then you came to the right place :) Check us out at trainerroad.com.

That's why people ride hard up hills so they can stay close to the front and if a break goes like it did, they can be in it. Drifting back on hills can save you energy but there is a risk and price to pay for that reward. The sprint was good, I would sprint where the draft is if you do it quickly they wont be able to box you and if they do they will get DQ. You should be Racing Cat 1 or 2 :) that race looked way to easy for you. Move up! and lets see how you do.

@petermilsom5638

5 жыл бұрын

in some nations (iirc, Australia, but I am sure there are others), folks can nominate themselves to move up categories. In many other nations, you gotta "rise through the ranks", and actually qualify each year to move up a category. Consequence is that in some nations many cat 1 riders would only be cat 2 elsewhere etc. etc. and then you get ageing riders performing not that well, and claiming they are the best in their age group etc. etc. In "qualifying category" nations, you don't get the BS'ers and the folks trading on past glories. In short, the requirements to be a rider of varying categories are NOT the same throughout the world, and the standard required to win a race of a particular category also varies between nations. Having said all that, a really good rider is still a really good rider, wherever they ride!

Nice effort. What brand of 28mm tires do you recommend? Fast rolling and puncture resistant.
