I, too, fell short of @anon43372372, but the Jess King Experience definitely was an…experience. It was also a fun ride. Chased my PR, so my cadence was down, but still PR’d.

Wow what a trip the Jess King Experience was. It was my first one of those rides and it surely didn’t disappoint.
This week’s pick should have some absolute classics from the 80s. Thank you @greebs for the nomination of Ben’s 80’s Ride from 1/28/21. Speaking of ride nominations, we’ve made our way through about half the list so far so feel free to add some more to the google sheet and we can keep the variety of these rides going. Almost forgot to ask @ChickPhilA to update the thread. Have a great week everyone!

Believe the Ben 80s ride is actually 1/29/21(looking for it to do now) so updated the thread. Wooo hooo

This is over a 2 week period, with a 20min and a 45min mixed in. Not sure if I’m not riding enough to keep improving, maybe I need a week off, or it’s just to the point where incremental improvement is exponentially harder.
My diet hasn’t been quite as good over this period, might have to refocus that.
Edit; on the positive side I finally finished those f’n bicycle crunches tonight.

One full week of owning a Peloton and I’m pretty much addicted. Lots of room for improvement but it has been great so far.

Woke up early today and decided to hop on the bike and knock this out before coffee so I SUCKED but I didn’t hate the ride. When he said "I just imagine my mom right now saying “this is a proper good bop” during Pump Up the Jam I almost fell off the bike laughing. Love Ben.

For anyone looking it’s 1/28/21.
I wonder if it’s different because Of the east coast/west coast or something…
Here’s a screen shot on my app of all the Ben 30 minute rides - nothing even on 1/28/21 for us East coasters. Maybe it shows 10 pm 1/28/21 for west coast and 1am 1/29/21 for us in east…because of the time difference!
In other news did a quick 10 minute climb ride tonight before core crushing and passed my old 10 min PR!

Figured I should start joining in on the weekly ride. I really enjoyed this one. Also, mine was dated 1/29 as well.

Yeah I definitely think it’s a east coast/west coast thing. Maybe we start operation on Greenwich Mean Time?

Highly recommend Emma’s 20 minute 90s ride from June 8th if you’re looking for a quick ass kicker

@anon43372372 will come knock me down soon enough but for now the old guy occupies the #1 spot in this weeks ride.

Two days ago you said you peaked on 30 minute rides and then you casually bust out a 521 kj PR on us! Well done!

@ChickPhilA No Paramore and more mainstream radio hits than anything but not an awful playlist

Whenever Emma has Firestarter by Prodigy on the playlist, she means business on that ride.

yeah…I dunno how it happened. I focused more on form during this ride which probably helped. A couple days of good sleep in my own bed, better diet, no alcohol also contributed. I also was watching the NLU leaderboard from the beginning, and I tend to be a bit of a slow starter so I’m sure chasing the rabbit increased the effort.
I think I had only hit 500 output one time in a non-climb ride. The last two 500+ outputs were on climbs, so this was a bit of a blow-it-out PR. It was 8kj over the climb ride PR, but I think it was 18kj over the last non-climb ride. Pretty happy with that.
