Ah yeah. I think it's because that's what you lose now they've substantially increased the rolling resistance.

The V2s are meant to be a substantial improvement but I didn't mind the V1s personally. I haven't directly compared with the Vittorias however.
160 miler planned for tomorrow...fun of training for the 300. Another 175ish for next week. Then the 300 and after that I can finally stop caring about training for distance for a bit.

160 miles done. Wasn't really that bad aside from failing to manage my food quite as well as I should. I had two points at about 110 and 140 miles where I felt like I would've bonked if I'd pushed much further without eating more (also I ran out of food at the same time 
). Stopped at a pub and ate all the sugar, suddenly riding was easy again.

I'm doing a 12 hour next weekend so being reminded about your 300 makes me feel better.
Glad to help
What's your 12 hour ride again?
Haven't really decided to be honest. I won't have that much storage space and it will be supported ride so partly I'll be reliant on the food they make available at the rest stops (I need to research what I'm likely to find). I think I'll aim to carry at least 500 kcal extra on me at all times though.
Yesterday on the 160 I got lazy about nutrition after 100 miles. This is classic me. I had to stop and grab sugar twice. Once I did I was fine but I was starting to feel very rough around the edges until I did. Definitely need to avoid that on the 300.
That looks pretty horrendous
As does LEL... I'd kind of said to myself that I wouldn't try and do anything ridiculous next year but...hmm... It does sound kind of interesting
If you're doing it and fancy a ride partner I could be tempted...
It was quite nice this morning but it seems like the weather has gradually gotten worse throughout the day. Listening to the sound of rain outside right now (which admittedly is quite soothing when I'm nice and dry inside
).uv had that saddle for a bit and found it a bit to tough for his delicate derriere. Quite interested to hear how you get on with it on longer rides
Yeah..I mostly like to eat slow burning stuff where possible but when you're feeling rough an instant sugar spike is always appreciated
A half pound bag of sugar in one jersey pocket and flour in the other, scooped with a bare hand to face
I just tip a kilo bag of sugar into my second bottle. No need for all that liquid yo
I'm fairly sure maintain is the way to go Should be your 20 minute power rather than threshold though.
edit: I'm not a TT pro though so probably I'm wrong.

Not that unusual in a mobile interface tbh?

Not sure what's funny about asking about it tbh. There are other options that make decent gear.
Benny... Stop spamming asking for cheapo Rapha knock offs. Gawd.
It's the British way.
HATE everyone that earns more money than you
I have a mate who is full Rapha clad.
Rides a £9k Bianchi.
You blokes would love him, he's right up your street and he's the nicest bloke in the world... however, he rides his bike about once a week. And he doesn't shave his legs.
My hero! *swoons*
(Though actually these days I've got silky smooth legs
)
Sunny weather from lunch is done for here. Now just back to wind and cloud. Good job it's a rest day anyhow
