- Felt nice and controlled, relaxed.
Yep.
Oh, big time kinks.
Oh, this is worse.
Thank you.
Breakfast and a morning brick workout.
I never do brick workouts during the week.
You see? You're excited?
Gracie's excited.
Pete's excited.
Pete's always excited.
As a thank you for getting us 10,000 subscribers.
Dogs.
I gotta replace the batteries on the power pedals
and teach Pete how to do it so that he's got skills.
Fresh batteries means fewer power readings.
PowerTap pedals have been awesome.
Changing the batteries is like easy
unless your bike is on a trainer.
Need a third hand but a thick head will do.
Just as easy as that.
Three minutes and twenty-three seconds later,
we have fresh batteries.
Little five minute cool-down.
That gets me to a 40 minute bike.
Sometimes it takes me longer to commute to work.
Quick change on my running gears right there.
Out for a 5K race pace run.
(upbeat music)
5K run at race pace.
Let's go.
Hello, pals.
Work-outing done for the day.
Just over 5K in 22:07.
Felt nice and controlled, relaxed.
Pace is actually hot.
It's above race pace at 4:24 instead of 4:30.
Felt good.
We'll do the last 30 minute session in the sauna
and off to the office.
That's the new GoPro mounts for while I'm riding on the bike
but I can do it hands-free which is very crucial right now.
If you'll bear with me through this five-second time lapse
which is to indicate the passage
of time throughout a workday.
Whoa.
We'll try that setup for the ride home.
Alright, I gotta put you away.
This is ridiculous.
This is icy everywhere.
Look at this.
Danger.
(upbeat music)
Whoa-whoa.
Obviously, this is a little bit of a work in progress
but I'm hopeful.
I'm really hopeful.
Got some kinks to work out, though.
Definite kinks.
Oh, big time kinks.
This is worse.
This is so much--
Whoa.
Yeah, this is not the genius idea that I thought it was.
Look at this.
I'm going to let go of you.
Whoa.
Alright.
To be continued.
First, we've gotta take off that awful trainer tire.
I love the Alto but your tight tolerances
on your first batch of wheels makes my thumbs hurt.
Alright, it's part done.
Got the blue rubber off.
Before you guys get all up on my grill
about how I shouldn't be using tire levers
to put on rubber, I know.
The Alto Cycling first batch of wheels
had a super-tight tolerance
so it's almost impossible to get a continental wheel
on these because continental wheels themselves--
No, continental tires themselves are pretty tight
matched up with the Alto.
It's like impossible to get off.
If I flat. (clicks tongue)
Done.
You take this tape to mark where your seat post is.
Got one wheel and one bike frame.
There we go.
One short hour later and it's as easy as that
to pack a bike.
Driving-distance only races from now on.
Just gonna stuff it full of a whole bunch of clothes,
and some bike shoes,
and a helmet, race gear, towels.
Give it a bunch of padding and then we're good to go.
I was close to done but I'm not done.
Note to self and everyone else:
Take the pedals off before you put on the rest
of the bike.
Alright, this is my fist kick at packing a bike
for a destination race so I'm probably not
the best person to give tips.
But I'll give you a couple of the tips
that I picked up over the last few days
that might help you.
If you see anything, by the time you see this,
you will have exactly 18 hours to tell me
that I've done something wrong and that I need
to fix it right away.
Comments below if I've messed something up.
Number one tips is that you can put your helmet underneath
the triple tree and giving a little bit
of support in that little bit space there.
Next tip is to pack all tools that you used
in taking apart the bike.
Make sure that's it's in like--
All tools.
Last tip is for the handlebars.
You don't wanna mess around with your headset.
What you can do is just take off the very end cap
on the stem.
But before you do that,
what I did was I took a knife and I marked a line.
There should be some lines going across
the handlebar that indicate the angle up and down
of the aero bars.
I've left the stem on and at the front of the stem here,
I've made a mark that corresponds to some lines
that are on the front of the aero bars here.
And I lined those up so that I make sure
that I've got the exact same angle in the aero bars
and I'm not going to cause any shoulder issues
or like hunched-over issues.
Other than that, I really honestly don't know what I doing.
I'm gonna be straight up with you.
Wish me luck, trainiacs.
Have a good one.
Pack this full of stuff tomorrow.
It's a bike in a bag.
