That's what I do when I ride back to back.

Also, I have a special hatred for spinups, I never want to do more than the minimum of those.

After riding since the start of November, I did my first 75 minute ride this morning. Even a PZE ride can creep up on you after that long. I also know for sure I need to retest now that it's been 6 weeks and I spent the whole ride at the top of each zone.

Ok kids, today's lesson is called don't be a slug for 6 months and expect to keep your fitness level. Since last July, for a whole host of reasons, other than a peloton class here or there and leading a spin class about every other week, I have done almost no exercise and have gained about 15 pounds. Today I paid the piper for that slovenly behavior when I took an FTP test for the 1st time since last July. In July my FTP was 236...I started out the test today shooting for 195-200. I failed. Miserably. My FTP right now is 173. I have a long way to go to claw all that lost fitness back, but here we go!

PR'd a bootcamp today. Top 23% on the leaderboard is the best I've ever done. That felt damn good but my legs are on fire.

I'm in! 7am is so much easier than 5am.

It was so awesome having 9 other Ags on this morning! Also, I loved the playlist, even if it made me feel old because I realized those songs were over 20 years old.

I did the 75 minute ride Saturday. Matt kept saying that ride was really going to help this week. He was right! I did the 45 minute ride yesterday as part of the new challenge and had my best 45 minute ride ever. Almost seemed effortless.

I usually ride around noonish.

Agreed. I got up at my normal time to ride at 5:15ish and saw all the posts about the 7am live ride. I seem to always forget to check the schedule for live PZ rides. Anyway, I called the audible and did my strength work first so I could hop on at 7. Lots of Aggies to throw high fives to!

I hopped on the Denis Morton ride at 7 for my 250th ride (no shoutout :-( )and recognized several names from my long time lurking on this thread... Beer_Pedaler.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on the leaderboard again soon!

You aren't the only one who gained weight in 2020. I think I'm up 15 pounds. I started the 4 week Power Zone program and so far it's just what I needed to get my butt in gear. Like you, I was lazy as hell last year.

I just got an email that the ride was canceled. I think I'm going to do Matt's 45 min ride from 10/28 around the same time if y'all are interested.

Any ideas what the deal is with Matt? I just saw his Saturday class was cancelled as well. Currently he is not scheduled until Jan 30. You know, two weeks from his last live ride.

I wondered the same. I got the emails because I'd signed up for his next three classes. I looked on the Peloton Facebook Page (that place is scary - yikes) and didn't see anything there either. Hopefully it's not something serious.

Does everyone here ride on a peloton or use another bike with the app?

I was thinking about getting in on the game as a cardio workout for home. I have a gym membership and go regularly, but was looking for something when time crunched or wanting an additional workout. I'm just not sure if I should dive all the way into peloton

Glad they added back a CDE 60 minute PZE for Saturday morning since I've planned out my week to hit ride 100 live in that ride. Who's in?

I just can't do her rides anymore, her cadence and counting just irks me. Congrats on 100 if I don't make it but I'll try to drop in and high five either way!

I definitely prefer Matt or Dennis, but the timing just didn't work out. Happy to have a live power zone ride of any sort for the occasion.

Anyone replaced the stock saddle?

It's not bad but not great. A little soft. The challenge is the wife and I both use the bike so it has to accommodate us both(but does it really?).

I'm mostly concerned with finding something she'll really like, but that I can live with. I put a Terry on her road bike way back when and she seemed satisfied with it.

My wife got a cover for the saddle to use when she rides. It's like a gel seat bike seat cover. I'm sure it was cheap on Amazon.

I'd be looking in the opposite direction. In my experience softer is only better for a few minutes, then it's worse. She's not a fan of the heavy gel saddles either.

I guess I'm wondering if there are any men that have had to use women's specific saddles. And if any one was better than the other. It's probably not a big deal, but curious. I can generally ride on anything that's firm enough and has a cutout. I suppose I could just take her road saddle and slap it on the Peloton and see how that goes.

That's what I'd try as a starting point.

I wonder how much Peloton would charge for an extra mount for a saddle. That way you could just swap them out quickly and each have a saddle you like. My wife replaced our saddle, and we are both ok riding on it, but I don't think either of us likes it a lot. I would love to find one that we could both enjoy more, but its kind of a crap shoot trying to find that perfect one.

Just tell the Peloton folks you wish to mount your wife and want their input on how hard she needs it to be.
