All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

why would you do this to yourself? running is awful.

 

I love the gym, but I've been there done that...lost it ALL...and don't have the time or desire to get it all back. I need something that helps my biking, and I can't bike very often but I could run every day...maybe...

It is. I'm going to hate it. I'm going to complain. I'm going to possibly die.

but I need to do it. I need something to help my cardio/endurance/etc for biking, and I can't bike often enough to get that up..

 

Yeah that’s pretty much why I run. Early in the year when there isn’t much light it’s easier to get a 30 minute run in. Although I did spend a good amount of time on the trainer this past winter

 

I already get up at 5am for work, so a morning run is out of the question. So I'll be a suffering idiot in afternoon heat or later evening.

 

Yeah fuck that haha. It’s 90s up here and I’m not doing shit after work haha

 

yeah it's gonna blow. it's heat index over 100 here the last couple weeks and humidity in the upper 2000%....

 

Not bad for a fat mans first mile hey?

 

I’d say that’s solid for sure

 

I love my superduty. it's a solid rack. Highly recommend. My roommate bought a kuat nv and once he saw my 1up and how it works and how compact it gets...he got instantly jealous and considered selling his kuat.

Not many gotcha's I can think of other than that security isn't the best. you can get the wheel locks but they don't prevent someone from just lifting the frame off the rack. I always use a cable and u-lock when i park somewhere in addition to wheel locks.

 

Just weighed myself at 226.9lbs post run.

 

Good pace man, especially in this heat!

 

I’m about to fucking die lol

 

I do sandbag workouts after work now and the ones with loaded runs usually leave me on the ground for 15-20 minutes following the workout.

I’m in S.C., so I know that Alabama heat is no joke either. Good for you to push through the mile dude

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. Gotta get better so I can do better biking. The guys in NC showed me up haha.

 

I’ll be there next time and you and I can hold down the back with our beer filled hydration packs

 

Haha I cannot do a beer on a ride, but yes after! Looking forward to the next ride for sure.

 

Not training for the beer mile?

Aw hell nah!

 

I haven’t weighed myself in a few weeks but I’m about the same. Similar pace over 2-3 miles. I’m not trying to win any races haha

 

I’m not either. Just want to be able to bike for longer
