Yeah mate the mountain biking is hell addictive.
Some mean bikes available too that make it so much fun.
Just remember NO eBikes!!
It's all done at 8yo pace and often 6yo pace too (she's on a BMX tho). So I'll be getting something pretty basic and solid.
250 pounds buys you a fully disc braked, shimano geared beast with suspension forks at the moment, so that'll do. It'll be quite heavy, but due to going at kids pace, thats not an issue.
That will be sweat for basic off road work, especially with the youngsters.
My 10 year old is pushing for something a bit more serious now but its $$ for something decent his size with dual suspension

The VO2 Max calculation on my Garmin app, while not perfect, does sort of allow me track my fitness levels, as i know what it looked like at Iron Man time.
Mine has gone up 3 points in April alone.

You know, I read what I'd written and thought, hmm, looks a little off, couldn't put my finger on it, thanks for pointing it put to me...

@voodoo nice! I'm testing the calf again today with Bonesetta. Going for a run that is (or attempting to). Tightness seemed to shift further up the calf after Sunday but feels good right now...
Me mate the rugby coach reckons all the guys are using "massage guns" these days. Self-operate on most parts of the body (not that part), up to 20 settings for power and speed, changeable heads etc. He has had calf issues all his life and swears by it.

Bit stuffy today so not the most comfortable 9km but not bad. Time was okay.
Getting old is fucked though. My body is not used to this volume of road running. I'm starting to get sore hips, and my achilles are both very tight.

Decent month for me on the rower. Clocked in 190km or so, and even stayed off alcohol the last three days - as soon as L4 disappeared, so did the confinement drinking with my wife
Fit, fat and happy people. Watchign climbing films ... those guys are just nuts, and I could watch them all day.

That's where I found myself too, my groin thing was all about overuse, it tightened 10km into a bloody run FFS. Body just not happy at the ramp up.

Hell yes. That and Dawn Wall are a tremendous back to back watch. Meru is also amazing - nothing like Free Solo, but then nothing is.
Reel Rock series is golden. So many crazy people doing crazy things

I genuinely think that Free Solo is the most amazing thing I've ever seen anyone do. He is a fucking lunatic no doubt, but something in his mannerisms makes it seem so much more unachievable amd awesome - like if he was a brash cocky fucker, it just wouldn't be as cool. But he was so calculating, so needing his mental state to be right. The way he just wakes up one day and goes "yep, today I'm going ".
The footage of him practicing that little traverse that he couldn't get right - just amazing.
