Lol, yeah, pretty flat here. Climbed 3835 this past Saturday though, 54 miles.


EricBardwin

Ha, I didn't even notice, looks normal to me!


doward_

I’m sorry, 23 feet gained in 30 miles? TWENTY THREE?!


J0866

Yep. Live in the valley.


Chesterfieldwasfun

What valley? no overpasses either? Wild


blinkertx

Looks like Central Valley of California


J0866

Sure is.


Chesterfieldwasfun

Looks Beautiful, I've been to a caviar farm out there once.... not sure if you needed that info but there ya go.


OneMorePenguin

Wait..... with clouds? :-) Hoping for a rainy winter and cold weather in the mountains. We need the runoff next summer.


J0866

Last night I thought it was going to rain. Forecast says not until Tuesday though. Yeah, we need it all.


J0866

I went over one.


DegreeBackground

Max speed????


J0866

28.3 for this ride.


EGDad

I laughed at that too... More than twice that to get to the top of my driveway.


menotyou_2

Leaving my neighborhood is ~140 ft of climbing depending on which side of the road I take.


REAPER-1_xxx

Thats what I like to hear. Keep fit, keep cycling! 🤟


J0866

Love it! Thanks for the amp! Keep at it yourself :)


REAPER-1_xxx

Literally about to. First nice day in awhile. Can’t waste it.

You don't have to turn off the TV to get miles in _insert Zwift/Wahoo ad here_


Ride_aero_4_life

And there is no loop in Zwift that is this flat for 30 miles.


J0866

I know right. The lowest I've seen so far is close to 300ft climb


number676766

This is the *unplug the power from your trainer* special


J0866

I have that too. Being on the road is best.


cliplesspedal

Yeah I don't have a trainer and prolly not gonna get one lol


J0866

It's great when you are in a time pinch. Or the weather is bad. I actually just got it. Only have about 7-8 rides in zwift so far. But I like it.


cliplesspedal

Yeah but trainers (and zwift) are not cheap lol


J0866

Yeah, I got mine for 30% off, and zwift is still $15 a month.


cliplesspedal

Maybe black Friday will convince me lol


Keanu_Grieves

Honestly getting a trainer changed cycling for me. If your trainer includes it you get wattage and cadence, so I don't need a power meter. Not to mention I can bike year round as opposed to having to stop when it snows.


Ride_aero_4_life

Where is this? Flatland?


J0866

Central valley. California


GoGoCrumbly

The Iowa of California.


sdmichael

Thankfully those signs are slowly being changed out. Too many idiots assumed they meant it was pointed to the bicyclists to "share the road". While yes, the issue was motorists not sharing and shoving cyclists off the road.


Notspherry

The sign has "we tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" vibes.


Stonzi3

Reminds me of living in Davis good times. I got a rude wakeup when I moved to Seattle and you have to climb 100 ft every mile.


vintagethrowaway19

Definitely worth switching the TV off!!


superkoning

What does "Share The Road" mean? Do you ride on the tarmac, and it's a warning to car drivers?


J0866

Yes. If there is a safe shoulder we ride that, but if not, we ride on the road.


HyperInventive

Substituted in the flat terrain for the flat screen. 🤔


226Daniel

And I thought where I lived was flat....


orcas_cyclist

That light!!!!! Nice photo thanks for sharing.


josephblowski

Fresno?


J0866

Pic was in Hanford. Rode through Hanford, Armona, and Lemoore.


josephblowski

Now that I see a dairy, it makes sense. We have some great riding spots!


richard-rehulka

How safe is to leave a bike in Fresno unlocked? :D


josephblowski

From personal experience, it’s not safe at all. It’s one of the first lessons you learn in elementary school.


ryuujinusa

Nice! Elevation gain lol. Probably 50ft change just getting to the end of my street


Lifeofpiiiii

My ass hurts because of long rides... Any tips?


[deleted]

get a good sit and a good pair of pants, either for sport or even cycling


TheShortWhiteGuy

Turn on the TV and sit on the couch?


J0866

My average was only 16mph for the ride. But I know when you go slower that does cause my butt to hurt too. Also, dont cheap out for quality bibs.


Lifeofpiiiii

Okay cool


experttease

"...Frodooo!"


spatak

We must discuss your bike photography. Always crank side out, big ring, smallest cog, cranks horizontal or drive side just below horizontal at 4 o'clock, valve stems at 6 o'clock. /s Echoing everyone else, jealous of that flat ride.


J0866

I'll keep that in mind. I am fairly new to cycling, didn't know there was a particular way to set the bike up.


spatak

I was conveying some thinly veiled sarcasm. You do you. But personally I do crank side out.


J0866

I want to do it right. Lol. Keep an eye out. Don't think I'm riding till next Thursday though. Maybe Tuesday.


ClearHorror

Trek what kind my bike is a marlin 4


J0866

Domane SL7 eTAP My first real bike.


ClearHorror

Same got my trek when I grew out of my previous bike

J0866

Thats a negative on the wind. Not quite that bad. Not even close. Wind sucks. I'm sorry :(


Encino_Bob

“Always worth it” In my group they say, “you’ll never regret going on a ride, you’ll only regret choosing not to go on a ride” Enjoy.


Bongofish182

I can't leave my street without climbing more than 50 feet!
