@Roscopcoletrain @BikeMayorHfx If you are looking for Audax, check out Randonneurs Nova Scotia (FB site or https://t.co/mDEW9HY5gk) Membership is required for group rides and brevets - available through the Cycling Nova Scotia website.

@ask_aubry Almost 30 years ago, I was working in a lab, where we specialized in personal hygiene product testing. We tested with bovine blood, which is about as close as you could get. Not sure how much research went into this story.

@ask_aubry That was beautiful. It gives me comfort for our future.

@BikeMayorHfx Our ‘big’ rides start at 200km. We are affiliated with a worldwide organization of Randonneurs that has standard distance rides (‘brevets’) from 200-1200+ km with time limits. 400 in a day is the biggest single day ride. 600km in 2 days, 1000km in 3 days

@iamjonnylong Following @The_WUCA , @dotwatcher , TCR, ultra riders. @apidura promotes a ton of ultra stuff. Various races like Wild Ultra Mayo, Donegal, TransPyranees, Badlands. Mostly on Insta and not the tweetybox.

@danison1337 @StephenSeiler @Alan_Couzens Dr. Inigo San Millan has done a few great long form interview videos with @gcntweet recently on this topic. That would be a good place to start.

@angryasian @cyclingtips I was a huge CT fan, but after the last round of layoffs, I couldn’t bring myself to give Cyclingtips the streams or the page views anymore. I always loved your stuff and look forward to seeing/hearing you wherever you land. Integrity matters!

@SarahAnnEgan Yup, prime gym season!

I could probably bang on about exercise physiology for awhile, too, but I'm not at all credentialed in that.

This is a fantastic thread that strips away the hype and debunks a lot of misinformation about training.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

The world of exercise and fitness is littered with so much nonsense.

It's easy to get fooled by hype and fads.

Let's sort through the mess & debunk some myths.

Here’s what most people get wrong about fitness:

@Tim_Bousquet I had the same conversation a week ago with one of *those* people

@gregorbrown Speaking as someone for whom 2/3 of the stable is steel, I enjoy riding steel. But you can't really make it aero and you can't really make it that light. Because of that, it will always be niche going forward.
