I knew that my knees were bad, but I'm not going to mention that, I did have severe issues with my back (exacerbated by breaking my pelvis at the end of 2023) which saw a gradual decrease in power output. That certainly didn't help. I really have to try and find a way to rebuild the strength in my legs again without causing any further damage. One thing that should help though is the hot tub I installed last year, and rescuing two Romanian pups at Christmas has done wonders for my mental health. They are a pair of crazy goofballs!

Get an ice bath to complement the hot tub

welcome back, hope things continue to improve for you - 2 dogs should do it !

Do you still take care of horses too?
I think I will do a ride on one of your Bkool videos today,

Oh yes, although we lost our old mare (26) a year ago... Still got her daughter though ... Which is how I broke my pelvis 2 years ago!! 🤬

Just posting a happy summer wish here to keep the thread going. I see lots of rides on strava. I choose to focus on carb loading.
@berty bassett nice ride. Not the 103 miler but the .9 mile warm up. My kind of ride.
And just because someone mentioned dogs here is a gratuitous dog picture of our duo.
Lets see you top this level of activity.

Oh,.I dunno??

One fell asleep thru Randal and hopkirk - other is asleep in the doorway so no one can leave without her knowing

@Brusgaard

Orca M35i 2025 (so last year's model). Only 105Di2, but I gathered that it would be equal to or better than my 10 year old 68x0 Ultegra Di2 on the other bike. That, and I didn't want to pay too much either.

As you have probably read, BKOOL has been aqquired by Rouvy. Wonder what that will do to my current €4.99/mo sub?

 

[shimceltic]

I was unaware of that ,wonder what it will do for the platform as a whole

It might be a great thing. I’ve been almost exclusively been riding Bkool. I like the Rouvy training program better but the Bkool ones are similar, you just have to sort through 100’s of choices.
On a terrible timing note, my Neo2T quit working yesterday. I only have 2 weeks before I go ride in Denmark where I plan on making a lot of friends by offering to buy Greenland.

And DKK in January $.14.. now $.16.. 15% drop. Come on @Brusgaard can’t you drive it back down?
