This place has every meal for only $10CAD plus tax, but the portions are kinda small despite the okay quality. Definitely not enough fuel unless you get 2 meals, or just 1 poutine which is satiating but still lacking in overall carbs and protein. Quality's usually pretty good, but the papo seco rolls were a little too soft and the leg was over-salted unfortunately.>>145685409In Newfoundland and Quebec we got figgy duff and pouding chomeur, but for me, it's sticky toffee pudding.

Anyways cycling. Pog said in a recent interview that he is pretty rich so he is going to start funneling more money into his development team + making a female one.
>>145686547TomSprm looking mf
>>145686547why do retards start personal project ego teams???????Tinkoff was highly successful and it hemorrhaged money Wiggins team literally made him homeless now Pog is going to start a team and a WOMENS team no less??????????????????????????????????????????? what a fucking retard
>>145686918>Tinkoff was highly successful and it hemorrhaged moneyDon't all teams do that? I mean their only real income is sponsors and they spend all the money they get.Besides the Wiggins team was fucked because of mismanagement (which he claims he was unaware of until it was too late). Pogi has lots of money as long as he doesn't get scammed like Wiggo he can always stop the team if it becomes critical.
>>145687010surely this isn't just some slovenian hover goblins scamming him out of money
>>145686918Because they actually love cycling.
>>145687045I don't think it's hard to find people genuinely interested in developing local sporting talent. People do that shit for free. Someone as influential as Pogi has access to actual competent coaching and management staff most likely.
maybe he's doing it for the gf
>>145687010>Pogi has lots of money as long as he doesn't get scammed
>>145686918I doubt he spends more than a few 100k on the projects. He is there more as a front man that sponsors recognise and give shekels to.

The great Michał PALUTA has ended his illustrious career at the ripe age of 29, after a two year hiatus in 22-23 and winning the coveted KOM Kurwatour jersey this year, as well as Polska champ jersey in 19 (which is a meme since a while at this point).Probably acknowledged he is sure as fuck not going to the vismoids or sheiks and either it is wasting life as a contishitter or starting fresh at something else while he is still younger than older.

>>145685370The kids bikes aren't that expensive I thought. I've been looking at getting a kickbike for my friend's kid as a Christmas present and there doesn't seem to be much of a price difference between them as long as you leave out the bottom of the barrel chink shit.

>>145707405I don't worry about the numbers that much to be honest, the feeling is good and the motivation is high.
>>145707428I need to worry a bit or I can't r*pe. Outside I don't really care, but I need to start doing long rides again
Ah yes the rare G1 slurp syndrome
>>145704782>>145697008It all depends on how well you know the road. On small bends like that there's not much reason to slow down. You're just eating away your braking surfaces and pads while heating them up. Slow down to turns you really need to slow down and coast the other parts when you're spinning out. If you're confident on your bike 100 doesn't feel any different than 70.

>>145717509If Debills don't win the Chiefs are going 17-0 unless Steelers do something about it.
>>145716738He's coughing them up mostly when he needs to play hero ball. He does look really promising even with this garbage team he has.
>>145717607nah chiefs don't look anywhere near good enough for that
>>145717607Chiefs are going to go one and done in the playoffs. They aren't playing like a 9 - 0 team.

And none of the remaining teams are any good, besides the Steelers.>>145717777Your gem is very fun if you approach it fairly for once instead of sneering at handegg burgerslop where half of the game are commercials and nothing happens.And what is wrong with the kickers, did the balls got deflated again or what. Not buying it is all because Tucker is done, Moody just came back, Koo just can't do it suddenly and many other, consistent near misses.
>>145718063Yeah he definitely doesn't have the clutch yet. Today was in a 3rd&13, while still having plenty of time he was running out of resources. Just gotta either throw it anywhere that's open or if no one is open just yeet it to the stands. You've still got the 4th left. But I'll rather see mostly solid play with hero ball mistakes as opposed to mostly questionable play with occasional hero ball highlights.

First day of work after parental leave, feels strange to think about econometrics after such a long time only thinking about the baby's naps, food, playing in the sandbox etc. But it feels really nice, less stress and it's good to see workmates after a long while. And we have a couple of quite unnecessary meetings this week so lots of time for vinester activities.However yesterday we had bad news, my wife had a miscarriage so no new baby next summer. Sucks but I guess it's quite common (1 in 5 odds).

I'm honestly quite fine with this, but it's been really hard for bertina, especially since she has all those pregnancy hormones already in her body and thus gets lost in her emotions much easier than usually. But at least we have one wonderful child, I bet this would be much harder if we would still be waiting for our firstborn.I'm fully confident we will have our next child soon in any case, it seems we both are very fertile since both times it only took one try, while many couples need months for anything to happen. Perks of us both living a healthy lifestyle I guess. But yeah, next-next Finnish WC postponed at least a couple months, hehe.
>>145729518>>145730081Awful news. Hopefully you guys have better luck next time.

>>145730775You can't ride a regular MTB on winter trails if there's a lot of snow or it isn't completely iced over so that you can walk on top of the snow. It's not once that I've been on trails where a MTB guy has almost ruined it by riding their shitty MTB on it sinking into the trail so that it leaves squiqly tire tracks. Last winter I had to do extended hike a bikes on a trail that was perfectly rideable on a fatty until some retard on an e-MTB came through and afterwards it was unrideable at places.
>he can't keep getting away with this!
>>145732622nice larping like a guy with hair
>>145732630a girl can dream
>>145732621The difference in ground pressure between a 29" running 2.6" and a fat bike 26" running 4" is hardly anything. You have to ride fat bikes on groomed trails just the same as MTBs, they can handle about 1" more of fresh powder than a normal 29er. The window where fat bikes can ride places a 29er can't is incredibly small.

I fink I figured out why the polar explodes when stressed by the pumping of BIG bpm from my zone 7 training, so in case it might help someone else will share herebasically the monitor pod needs to be a bit offset from the centre of the chest since there is a thick mat of fur there where the connexion gets disrupted. if one spins the strap a bit laterally then the conductive part is touching less of me chest hair and thus the drops seem to be mostly solvedand yes I know they say to shave your body in the manual but that's a bit fruity for a casual rapist such as myself so there you go

>>145734807bit racist to mark your minorities innit
>>145734342the mountain classification system in cycling came from the use of Citroen 2CV as the common car of race organizers and stewards. The number referred to the gear that the 2CV (an abbreviation for "duex chevaux" which means "two horsepower, the rating for the power of the engine in the car. A category 4 climb could be achieved in 4th gear, a 3, in 3rd gear and so on. "Hors Category" means "above category" or above the ability of what a 2CV could drive up.

Tour de SIAK has some interesting teams. Did some Berts not tell us something?
>>145743962peculiar indeed
>>145743968So who is riding
>>145743974Bert Zonderfoto team leader
>>145743954If you have your max hr set correctly and have done an all-out effort of 3-6 minutes, then the Garmin vo2max should be very accurate. When I did my 5min PR, Garmin gave me 66 while just using a generic formula based on the power (which has been studies to be on average very accurate) gave me 67. But if either of the two is inaccurate, then it doesn't mean much.In either case, yeah, it isn't that important, but it is extremely unlikely to run a sub-15min 5K with a vo2max under 70 – just like it is to do 5w/kg with a vo2max under 70, it's just biology.
>>145743576I will be dabbing on UN Cycling Team x Pyörävarikko.fi next summer.
>>14574377668 and 24 here. It was over 70 during the summer but I've not really done anything above sweet spot in ages.
>>145743811You could have but you refused to ride with me in nice
>>145743991I thought the same person can have different vo2max for different forms of exercise?
>>145744087does that make sense? at most I can imagine that you might not be able to fully utilize your vo2max in some activities but your cardio is your cardio
>>145743936This is about THIJS AERTS btw. Haha got you all

>>145744182Ain't gonna lie I thought you meant Toon
hope troon farts actually does retire at the end of the season so I never have to hear about that doping fraud ever againI like my mud racing CLEAN
>>145744182Didn't get got me, I ignored that post.
>>145744172>>145744087I believe the distinction is VO2 "max" vs VO2 "peak", or at least that's what Coggan says and it makes sense to me. Max is max across all modalities, will usually be highest running uphill though well-trained cyclists and swimmers can get pretty close in their respective modalities, requires a plateau in rate of oxygen consumption while workload keeps increasing. Peak is just the highest value on the graph for whatever exercise you're ramp testing.
>>145744087this has to be true. Kipchoge would be a wattlet on a bike and Pog can't run for shit
>>145744679probably has more to do with muscles than vo2max in that regard

>>145755683Those are my 40/20 numbers
>>145755699Is that you Josef Cerny?
>>145755683You should aim far higher than that bert, I think at least 400W for the on parts. The recovery bit makes these far easier than what you would expect.
>>145755718maybe
>>145755745It's only my first week so not going crazy. Start at 350 anyway and see how it feels.
>>145755745Just looked at my file of a 3x15x30/30s session from the spring and I routinely hit 500-530W there, so for 40/20 I would try to hit at least 450W.
>>145755753Well that's okay as well, I just think for a session like that there's no point to sell yourself short, best way to improve is to do sessions like these full gas. But start at 350, see how that feels, and then you can probably move to 400-450W pretty quickly.

Das Verhalten war offenbar derart auffällig, dass ihn der Taxifahrer aus dem Auto schmiss. Kurz darauf zog sich der 38-Jährige nackt aus und lief in der Dunkelheit vor ein herannahendes Auto, einen Alfa Romeo. Dieses erfasste ihn und schleuderte den Mann zu Boden. Die Alfa-Fahrerin stieg aus ihrem Wagen. Der nackte Belgier raffte sich auf, stieg in den Alfa und brauste davon. Und noch während der Taxifahrer sich um die Alfa-Lenkerin kümmerte, geriet der 38-Jährige mit deren Auto in einen folgenschweren Unfall.you can't make this shit up.
