Cyclopaat, an alter ego with a twist
I may or may not have promised a “Best of Gallery” from our holiday on Tenerife last September, but here it is.
Half of them are taken by Paula, when she accompanied me on the – looooong – stage from Santa Cruz up El Teide.
Up there, the landscape is like the moon, only with color.
As usual, if you want larger originals, drop me a line…
As announced in an earlier post, I will finally get to cycle the Pyrenees during my Tour de France 2023.
Okay, that should probably read “in the Pyrenees” for I will mostly cycle the central part of the Pyrenees range.
It would be nice to cycle the “Raid Pyrenees” that is (also) available as a Tacx series of RLV’s.
This is covering many Pyrenees climbs, from East to West, and I’ve done that indoors.
Or how I got a Giant Revolt with my new tires…
With the mileage I’m clocking, it is to be expected that you will need to buy new tires every now and then.
More tubes for sure, but the tires will eventually wear out to the point where you’ll need 3 tubes every ride…
Last Saturday, before going to the movies, I entered the LBS for a pair of tires.
No, the “Z” is not for Zorro but for Zwift.
Exactly 6 years and 10 days after my last visit, I returned to the realm of Zwift.
As I’ve written in my previous post, Zwift reached out and it looks like they successfully did so 😎
If just 1 out of 5 of the “lost souls” out there – probably on Rouvy, since they’ve added cartoon characters to their RLV videos – bites, a campaign like that is a success…
Is that even a question?
I mean, I said goodbye to Zwift a few years back as I grew weary of perpetually riding “in” a cartoon world.
Coincidently, I returned to riding cartoon worlds this year when RGT clearly was out of beta and gaining traction.
But in RGT’s realm, you can hardly speak of worlds, or anything even close to Zwift – other than the… cartoons – as it has but a few options.
However, that trial was short-lived, as Wahoo acquired RGT and dubbed/integrated it into SYSTM (along with the Sufferfest they required earlier – nothing is sacred anymore).
And Wahoo (SYSTM) is a hard pass for me, but I can see why it’s a great ecosystem for many.
Today, Zwift reached out…
