Cyclist killed in Dublin is second member of UCD Cycling Club to die on roads in a year

Father-of-three John Walsh sustained fatal injuries in crash with car in Kinsealy on Sunday

www.irishtimes.com

can you imagine having two members of your club killed in less than a year?

This is right at the Apple green out there

People speed on that road once they get a chance
But this is also someone on their phone - catastrophic, fatal injuries like this are drivers being 'surprised' by a cyclist cos they're answering a text or something.
Even if you're speeding, there's time to react. You just have to be looking at the fucking road.

I have low faith in the gards, but hopefully they get this fucker's phone off of them.

This is lovely thing that my neighbour apparently has now. Lighter than you might expect. Could probably use at least one brake. It's SS, not fixie.

Did a test to establish where my bike fitness is at

It is in a horrible place

This was the test


Abandoned 2 minutes in
I don't think I went over 120 Watts the whole fucking time

Switched to watching the HR on my watch
10 minutes at 130 HR
50 minutes at 140 HR
10 minutes at sub-130 HR
My Max HR is like 168 to 170

! hr 10 minutes and I didn't even break 20 fake bike miles
A horror show

Then fucking wallop!

Yeah cycling is essentially masochism in bright clothing. I enjoy being half destroyed climbing some stupid mountain

As my friend told me as I gasped up a hill: It never gets easier, you just get faster.
