Something along the lines of Your president has actually made an exception for us Brits but says he's glad the Italians can't come because he never liked them anyway.

I just saw a player for @Goldwolfie ‘s team has it.
He just announced you British are no longer welcome and I blamed it on @AAAC 76C using bad language. He said "blimming heckl!"And I tried to reply to it in equally poor taste.

My level of fitness doesn't merit me buying a direct drive.. But that probably isn't going to stop me from buying one as soon as I start riding again. This downtime has given me too much time to shop I've on line. Even though I'm not riding at all I'm thinking about buying new components to turn my mountain bike into a 1x12. It's a weird thing having bike lust.Why don’t you guys buy a proper trainer, get rid of that fairy dust and get the full “experience” of these mountain climbs? 🤔
Haha yes I just heard about UK being included in that. I doubt many would be willing to sit on a plane for 6 hours at the moment so probably not make much difference. Most people here already talking about cancelling their holidays.He just announced you British are no longer welcome and I blamed it on @AAAC 76C using bad language. He said "blimming heckl!"
Same here. Everything is being canceled to try to flatten the curve. I read where the UK is taking different approach of get it over with.Haha yes I just heard about UK being included in that.

You near killed me.

The U.S. has way fewer beds per population because health care is business over here. So we have to try to slow the rate down.
I switched to the TACX wheel on trainer for the re-run yesterday for the main purpose of avoiding that 'experience', hadn't used that bike for a while and the front gear cable snapped/stretched/slipped (I'll take a look today) so I was riding on the big ring but still hitting 100RPM, not very realistic on an 8.5% incline. I abandoned the ride though, not out of some honourable reason but because I still hated itWhy don’t you guys buy a proper trainer, get rid of that fairy dust and get the full “experience” of these mountain climbs? 🤔

Yes, I thought about hooking up the Bkool Pro and doing it again, but didn't see the point in "cheating" and hoping for fairy dust etc. The problem with the NEO is that it gives even a heavy rider like me the full experience all the way (up).
Only thing to do on a stage like is to stand up and grind, but as the trainer is almost stationary, you have to wiggle your body incl. knees in an unnatural way. Compare this to outdoors where you twist the bike from side to side and almost keep the body/knees stationary instead.
Doing this stationary grinding for small sections is OK, but 40-50 minutes is no fun for my knees...Should we have another stage of this kind, I'm tempted to just take the time penalty and skip it and save myself for some other riding elsewhere...
