Managed to get on for a Zwift session yesterday afternoon. Legs felt ok and breathing was mostly ok but didn't bury myself too much as still not recovered fully from this lurgy. Then found myself getting more stuffy as the afternoon drew on, then this morning I'm full of it again - proper head cold! Dammit! Hopefully it'll clear in a few days, this real lack of mileage is annoying me though as with the Tour of Zwift I'd really been able to pick things up and was seeing some real progress.
Just learned that Wiggle now want to charge me £2.95 for returns, that wasn't in their T&C's when I purchased the item I'm about to send back, and previous returns were free.
Yup their returns changed a month or two ago. Annoying!
So for the eurozport player for those of you who have it. Can I watch all the catch ups of races and stuff for a period after or is it a bit useless? Also what is the country access like? Ie can I use it when I'm in Asia in April and missing all the main spring classics
You can generally watch 'On Demand' up to 4-5 days afterwards. Some of the GT's are a week, some of the other races are barely 3 days. Watch 'Live' stuff too, but it's not straight on the stream, usually available a hour or so after it finishes. It's awkward as a streaming service, really lacks on features compared to others and the content can be annoying at times (having to sit through previous snooker for 30 minutes as it overrun, then missing the end of what you wanted to watch as it just cuts off), but there's very few other options are there? Less faffing now too - my latest Sammy 4K came with a native app for it out the box, so where previously I was casting from the android app to a chromecast to play back, I now don't have to.
Enough deals on ES to make it worthwhile for things like these spring classics - which are not really shown anywhere else. Had my first year for £14, then a Christmas deal for a year at 99p (although missed to cancel and now on full price for this year as couldn't get a refund).
In other news turbo this morning and I've managed to have to change the tube due to it bulging and hitting my frame. Thought indoor riding was supposed to be easy.
On wheel turbo trainers are so 2015!
I’ve been keeping an eye out on the Rapha store mentioned in here and want a £100ish pair of bibs for my longer rides this year, I’ve read a lot about the Rapha Core but said eBay store has the Classic bib shorts 2 for £107 delivered - anyone used both and could comment on differences etc?
Fit is another question, I think L by their guide - generally a M in DHB or L in Castelli so does that sound right?
Rapha Core are amazing. I'm a Large in Castelli and some large Castelli are damn tight on me (Progetto X2), while others are perfect (Volo, Evoluzione). I can fit in a Large or Medium Rapha Core as they stretch well. Prefer the medium but only got 1 pair of them with 3 pairs of Large. I tried the Rapha Pro Team £195 shorts alongside the Core and much preferred the feel of the Core. You'll be similar sizing as Castelli, as Rapha is only a smidgen more relaxed.
Day 1 in Mallorca.
wake up....forgot garmin. Damn. Treated myself to a wahoo bolt - I much prefer it!
Welcome Wahooligan!
I sense a 9ish when I'm fit in the summer.
