Maybe I’m the only one nerdy enough to watch these things, but my dad made me watch “Braking Away” when I was a kid. I loved it. “Premium Rush” is a guilty pleasure, but it’s still a distant second.

I’m struggling to fit strength training into my routine and I’m wondering if I could get some insight from the community. For background, I’m a 40 year old working dad, so my schedule is busy. I’ve been back to training for the last 4 months after several years away from cycling. I’m mostly training for longevity and fun, but my competitive nature has me wanting to do some fondos/races here and there, and maybe snag a neighborhood KOM or two. Right now I’m able to fit in 4-5 sessions on the bike/trainer a week - which typically ends up being 7-8 hours. I’ve mostly been doing Z2 up until the last month, and lately I’ve been adding in 1-2 threshold/sweet spot sessions per week. I’m hesitant to lift on rest days, trying to keep them truly restful. So, should I lift on low intensity days, or on the high intensity days? Ideally I’d like to lift 2-3 times per week, with no/few breaks during the year. Thanks!

Over the coming the coming weeks i'll be adding free resources as we build out this community. To kick off your journey here, i'd love to know: 1. Where are you from? 2. What's your big goal this season? 3. Drop a pic of your bike....

Hi guys hope you are well. I’m Matthew and I’ve been working with Anthony and Sarah over the last while on some of their projects. I am looking forward to seeing how this community develops and sharing our thoughts on all things cycling! Happy new year!

First time using the tyre pressure calculator yesterday. Works really well. For cyclocross last night I rode Vitoria T80 33mm. It recommended pressure of 24psi. It was spot on!
