The Masters we had three teams (one of them was mine) do a breakaway on lap 3....and held it. It was a ton of work keeping the pack slower. I was thinking of doing the 3/4 race....but just so early lol

It can definitely happen with the right teamwork, but there isn’t that much cohesion in the 3/4 field generally

@BTGCycling23 күн бұрын
I don’t believe taking a single vo2max test is going to be beneficial for most people. From my perspective, it should be used to measure how much your performance has increased from training block to training block, year over year. I plan to do another in the future to see how much I can improve.

Great bike! I have the same one and am inspired by your upgrades! My only qualm with Cannondale is the sizing they offer. 48 to 51 is a larger jump and I was torn between the sizes. alas i opt'd for the 51 which is a bit too long for me. hoping this is my forever bike for now!

8:45 when I saw #509 moving up on the inside, I thought, Ok dude just back off before you hit the turn. But nope, he dove the corner and took out that rider. You can almost feel these moves behind you. And he dives again at 9:32....not saying he's the only rider diving turns, but it is an example of making these unnecessary moves that do not help him move up. You finished higher than he did without making those moves. It's not always in Cat 3 races, you see this at all levels, but the 3s are full of very strong guys with varied skill levels and experience. Nice riding out there.

I use also contis5000 for years, and they are amazing, you could put a 28 mm tire in the back and a 25 mm Tyre in the front. I ride that way, the wider the tire the more weight you get on your wheels, but also you ride more comfortable with wider tires and the wheels have to be as much light as possible, i use the Zipp Rims they are stiff and lightweight but expensive 800 Euros the set, wheels should weight max 1500 grams then you are way faster and quicker. My CAAD 10 weight 8 Kilos with the Zipp 30 Course rims. it's a rimmmbrake but im happy with that, thinking now to get me a new bike with disc brakes.

You held the line, if you look closely you can see how unstable he is on the bike. It's all about reading the pack, especially if you are racing guys you dont know. The guys who look smooth and good on the bike is the wheel is follow, 1 for safety and 2 to be ready for attacks. So the more pro they look, the more you want to sit in their wheel :D

@EverythingWasGreat2 ай бұрын
Bike manufacturers really screwed us over with the "we wont sell rim brake bikes or wheels from now on". I just sold my CAAD12 Sram red etap with zipp 303, it weighed <7kg (58) and around 3k to build. Now i get a 1.6 kg heavier bike with 105 and wheels that i can use for barbecue, and it costs 50% more than my build.
@BTGCycling2 ай бұрын
Why sell the 12?
@EverythingWasGreat2 ай бұрын
@BTGCycling it started when i was looking to buy new carbon wheels. I realized that stores doesn't have them stocked anymore. So i sold the bike to go into the "new era" of road bikes. Before my CAAD12 i had a CAAD10 black inc. Im thinking its time to try a CF bike this time around, CF bikes with discs have a better second hand market but are a pain to buy. I dont know if the argument "less road noise in a CF bike " is still relevant with the trend of big tires and fat CF rims. They aren't lighter. I will see if i can find a Supersix Evo 4 to upgrade over time or a Allebike industrie due to their insane value (respect to buyers wallet).
