Budget Cyclist: Ode to Merino
http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2012/02/ode-to-merino.html
Friday, February 10, 2012. For years I used to dream of better sports garments. Ones made out of a better material than the synthetic fibres they usually are made out of. Ones that wouldn't smell like a rotten carcass even though you wash them after each use. Ones that would be warm, comfortable and durable. I used to dream of these, assuming that the sports garment technology is not yet advanced enough to create such materials. My strategy for bicycling in the winter used to be something like this:.

This is a piece of cake.

Budget Cyclist: Learning curve pt VI: pilgrimage
http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2012/11/learning-curve-pt-vi-pilgrimage.html
Saturday, November 17, 2012. Learning curve pt VI: pilgrimage. So, after watching some 5 movies (they were all very good) on a tiny screen in an aeroplane, there I was, in San Francisco, where the disciples, or possibly, descendants, of Gary Fisher display their mad skills by doing long wheelies in front of Alcatraz:. Anyway, after renting a bike (from Blazing Saddles. I headed for Marin County. I was kind of aware that to get there, you have to cross the Golden Gate bridge:. The terrain was mostly fire ...

Budget Cyclist: March 2012
http://budgetcyclist.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 13, 2012. You know what's wrong with the law? I can't be bothered.) And furthermore, they tell me (on the forums) that you're only allowed to ride on the road with a cycle path adjacent to it if the cycle path in question is not rideable. The law doesn't say exactly what "not rideable" means though. Such as myself can easily publish some examples for the public, and courts, to judge things by (disclaimer: actual applicability in a court of law not verified). We'll start with an easy one:.

Triathlonhaaste: toukokuuta 2015
http://triathlonhaaste.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Lauantai 9. toukokuuta 2015. Missä sinä olet hyvä? Urheilussa ylirasitustila johtuu harvoin liiallisesta harjoittelusta. Ylirasitustila johtuu yleensä siitä, että harjoittelun kuormittavuuteen nähden palautumista on ollut liian vähän. Jokaisella ylimenolla on varmasti oma tarinansa, mutta totuuden siemen tässä vanhassa sanonnassa kylläkin on. Harjoittelusta palautuminen tapahtuu parhaiten levon (uni) ja ravinnon avulla, mutta myös monilla pienillä asioilla voidaan vaikuttaa palautumiseen. Joskus hieronna...

Fillarilla lepikkoon: Hiihtotapahtumia pidemmillä matkoilla
http://fillarillalepikkoon.blogspot.com/2015/03/hiihtotapahtumia-pidemmilla-matkoilla.html
Tiistai 24. maaliskuuta 2015. Edellisessä kirjoituksessa käytiin läpi alkuvuoden kolme ensimmäistä hiihtotapahtumaa: Neljän vuoren hiihto, Jämi42 sekä Kauha-hiihto. Kaikki upeita tapahtumia testata omaa hiihtokykyisyyttä hiihtäjien joukossa. Tällä kertaa käyn läpi loput kolme tapahtumaa, joihin otin osaa siitäkin huolimatta, että harjoitteluolosuhteet suksittelulle eivät ole enää helmikuun puolivälin jälkeen olleet kovinkaan mairittelevat. Viikko Pirkan hiihdon jälkeen on tarjolla Pirkan reppuhiihto, jok...
