Midweek Post for October 10, 2023 - Ride Essentials: Cycling Computers

One of those advancements, cycling computers are, at times, much maligned for sapping the joy from the beautiful…

Busy Weekend and now its July.
Lotus does not ride on long weekends. The jungle drums had several people arranging rides but I did not join any. I had stuff to do. Saturday was a family Birthday Party (grandson) and my main job is keeping the kids busy so their mom can get stuff done like actually have a shower.
As we did not have to be there until the afternoon I did a quick run out to UBC and back. It was a bit over 50 km. The party was fun and we stayed too long as these parties are actually adult things where they all congratulate each other for not doing anything to help. The kids enjoyed their part.
Next day I did the loop again over a slightly different route with a steeper hill. That was just over 100 km for the two days. I am still making up distance to date for last year. I am 87 km behind which I should make up this month.
I also just did my first July ride in a YVR loop.
There are a few really great places to ride in Metro-Vancouver. We have the three north shore mountains that once you are there, are relatively quiet. There is Stanley park which is beautiful and even with the cars, quiet and safe for bikes as the speed limit is 30 kph and the cars are well behaved. There is the UBC area which is also relatively quiet, and used to cyclists. Technically UBC is its own little city. Finally there is the “Richmond Loop”.
My home city of Richmond is dead flat. There is a route around the perimeter that is quiet and relatively safe with a minimum of traffic lights. That route includes the blast out and back to Iona Park with the “dutch hills”. I can put together a variety of terrains and distances by just linking up all those areas.
I am fortunate I can do this and that probably contributed to me keeping this up long enough to get pretty fit for an old man. I know I can do any and all of this terrain.
My digital doodles have been buggy lately. I have a speed and cadence sensor on the bike that stopped working. That manifested itself by my Heart rate sensor cutting out then the cadence sensor went. They are both wireless so used low power radio. When one goes weird the system tries to lock into it and that messes the whole thing up. A new 2032 battery took care of that but my power pod then got stupid. It uses the speed sensor in its calculations and lost the connection then it would not work at all. I rebooted the beast and it got silly.
Generally it is a very cool device. It measures your speed through the air and your ground speed and slope and calculates your Watts. It is less than good in cross winds, but very good in head and tail winds and of course hills. Rebooting makes it lose all its calibrations. It will eventually relearn them, but it is a pain. The best thing about it is it is a fraction of the cost of pedal, crank, or freewheel power meters and very small.
I am still fiddling to get it back in the game.
I am also replacing my front derailleur (FD) as it has been bent and straightened too many times. The parts came. My mouse must have been a slow clicker as apparently I ordered two. I can return the extra one, but it may be best to hold it as a spare. The new one is the same type, but 10 years newer and it is really different. My gear is Shimano. The top tier is Dura-ace. Second tier is Ultergra. Mine is Ultegra all around. The new FD is very pretty and intricate. I hope it can stand up to my weight. I bent my old one with bad shifts. I know better, but when you get tired you get stupid.
I am still pretty strong for short shots. My peak measured power this past season is just at 1000 Watts. I do that for maybe 30 seconds. One horsepower is 745 Watts. I am 1.34 hp for a few seconds. That is a bit scary to push through jewel like hardware.
Fortunately I can do all my repairs. You learn from mistakes. I have made them all.
I am at 3142 km total distance, and 125 hours. I am again revising my average burn down to 400 calories per hour since I have better data and I think my body is just getting more efficient. My original estimate from 11 years ago was 1000 Cal /hour based on heart rate and stuff. That is not a weight loss thing, but a guide for how much fuel I need to bring on long rides.
So just past half way in the year (186 days) and on target for over 6000 km.
