A ride with a few lessons learnt!
My back light which doesn't look like it's on is set on traffic mode so it comes on lighter when it detects cars - I did this to save battery during the light hours :).
Thank you so so much for watching.

Great ride, Amy. Glad Kyle is alright after the crash. Poor guy. 30 mi in heavy gear with 1 cleat does not sound like a good time. Way to keep up on the nutrition.

@paulstelling3099 Жыл бұрын

@Amy Cycling Adventures blimey you are doing well pushing out those miles on 45c tyres . You said you were feeling low on energy. It could be the tyres sapping it all. The new tyres will be like a turbo boost . I would hope so anyway.

@paulstelling3099 Жыл бұрын

A roady friend of mine has a gravel bike he was going to sell it as kept getting puncture s and the 40c tyres made to sluggish. I had a pair of schwalbe marathon s in 32 that I wasn't using at the time so give him them to try. He has never looked back he rides it everyday for work he said its almost as fast as his road bike and he hasn't had a puncture in 6 months.

Nice ride , but it seems you just ride to get it done and dusted? I can't for the life of me want to ride ALL DAY doing that many miles. .. as much as I love cycling, if I do 30 miles, I'm good! I still have the rest of the day to enjoy or use that energy to be productive in/out of my house. Fyi, Im still a 👍vote for a more softer landing at the end of your videos( as opposed to the "cut off"). Ie:" thank you for watching my videos and I'll see ya on the next one, bye guys" < that's free of charge🤭✌️

It took me a while to get good at doing a 'no hander' on my road bike. For some reason it had always been easier on my hybrid, it seems to have lower centre of gravity. Just be careful and don't be tempted to do a Chris Froome by blowing your nose in strong winds on a TT bike at 33mph!

Could also be that you rode a heavy Dawes and now you have big volume tyres on the new bike, which are comfy but do drag more than pure road tyres.

Yes it’s a cannondale topstone gravel bike :) I’m planning on putting some road tyres on it :) but lots of people do Audax with road bikes too, so it’s your preference, I went for this bike so that I can use it for bike packing as it has lots of mounts :)

As I understand, sugars are used by the body differently during exercise versus being sedentary. It looks like cyclists have terrible diets judging by all the candies and sweets consumed, but not so. The sugars are burned immediately for energy.

For you guys who are not racers and speed demons, why not gravel cleats? Nowadays you don't pay much weight penalty moving away from road cleats, and you'd never encounter such a problem. Wearing out a gravel cleat is like trying to wear out a stone, it doesn't happen.
