Road Cycling

Welcome to the new look forums. My eyes are bleeding. It's like a Jenga nightmare with all these boxes but I'm hopeful of a secret way to unlock a Tetris level at some point.
Offically broken legs....

Back at local coach today after 9 days in a row of ToS2017, then coach put me through the wringer with a Vo2 max session.
Ouch! Was he aware of the ToS and not think your fatigue would affect your Vo2max?
I can only speak for myself but ATL of 89 (103 at its peak this week) and TSB of -34.9 yesterday. :eek:
Think I need an acronym mouseover script for training metrics. I'm still trying to understand TSS! ;)
 
Because he's a noob!

Lovely ride in this morning, coming down a bike path, had head down as was into a headwind, look up some guy coming on my side of the path about 20 yards away(admittedly I was on the right) and get called a **** (rhymes with Rat) as he goes past. Lovely. He obviously didn't get his wifes rat in the morning.
 
I am not one of these people against change etc, but if they had actually tested this out before deploying it I am sure they would have seen it is a damn mess! It's a big and popular forum, they should not be using their actual userbase as the testers as they iron out the creases. It's horrible.

My CTL is coming back up close to 50 again now. ATL and TSB are looking great now as I had a rested week to do some testing last week but it all kicks off again today :) I had to do a easy recovery spin yesterday after Sunday rest day and I was struggling to hold myself back as my legs are just desperate to hammer it. It's a great feeling when you come off the back of a bit training, hit some new higher numbers and then you feel the body adapt after taking the little rest :)
 
I'm sure they asked the nerd sections at the top what they thought of it. It's horrible though isnt it. anyone know how we can change themes?
 
Some bloke in the rant thread where everyone is displaying their disgust has wrote a theme for the plugin "Stylish" or "TamperMonkey". You can simply install either of those addons to Firefox/Chrome and import his CSS theme to change a load of things and then tweak it yourself from there.
I am very tempted to install it and play about, but I really don't want more addons in my browser purely for this damn forum, it's overkill.
 
I like to see who is online and browsing the bike forum - where has that gone?

You can stalk people as individuals now. Click their name at side of their posts and tells you if they are online and the thread/forum they were browsing recently.
No idea about listing all users currently within a sub-forum though.
 
White van man this morning beeping as he close passed me on a dual carriageway. Caught up alongside and his passenger had a go. Looked like the driver had a baseball bat or some sort of weapon in the cabso I was pretty glad I was behind a fence in a pavement cycle lane by that point. This happened about 3 minute after taking evasive action from another driver squeezing her way past me.

Well you were on the wrong side and not looking where you're going, what do you expect! :p

Found mine much easier on the eye after installing this style thing: https://userstyles.org/styles/138897/ocuk-forum-xen-wip

It's not perfect, but it is 50x better than what they went with! Shame to lose the Blue (after 15 years) but small sacrifice.

Not many real nerds left at OCUK these days, they're all salesmen, CS and the occasional hardware enthusiast.

Quite liking the multi-quoting! I've not hit a limit with it yet... ;)
 
I now have TamperMonkey and applied the style Roady linked. It's still nasty but a bit more tolerable.
Using AdBlock I have removed the forum logo from the top but I would like to perma-remove the "loyal shipping to forum members" link and shrink the header bar at the top also.
