NLU Peloton Thread - Weekly Ride: 30 minute 2010’s Hip Hop Ride with Ally from 7/25/24

COVID booster knocked me on my ass. 101.2 fever, chills, sweating, headache, aches. The whole ordeal. Didn’t want to lose my streak so I mustered the most I could do in pitiful fashion.

Nice work. Don’t forget that meditation classes count too and you might benefit from that right now …

I forgot how much I hate bicycle crunches.

I just started CYC this week, did day three this morning. Immediately commented to my wife how rude it was to finish a core workout with a minute of pace changing bicycle crunches. Not fun! But looking forward to making progress.

This was a wild ride. I don’t ride many Alex classes since he yells a lot, but this was fun. I also chuckled about his different names of the bike seat.

Fun ride! Also shoutout all you hardos in here, I had the NLURefuge leaderboard on during the ride and was in the bottom quarter of the leaderboard for the whole ride, thought I just didn’t have much today after going harder the last two days, switch back to global at the end and realize I was in the top 1/3 globally and y’all are just wild.

I did my first sweat steady ride today and loved it. I mostly do Power Zone rides and this felt like a child who grew up in a strict Power Zone household then got to college and realized life could be more fun.

Will certainly be adding these to the rotation.

I had the exact same thought. Top 3rd for the entire ride, bottom half for NLU. Bunch of savages.

Alex was really motivated for this one, and it, in turn, led me to having a great time for this ride. Agree that this group’s members taking the weekly rides put up awesome metrics. And, I, realistically, will never replicate the top tiers. But, that’s fine with me as long as I keep improving.

Big turn out the last few weeks, too. Over 30 riders already and the week is barely halfway over. Let’s finish the year strong!

First time I’ve managed to take the group ride in awhile. Finished 1kj ahead of you - I guess your first ride as the image you posted above is higher — as it turned out. Also loved hearing Freek-a-Leek and thinking about Neils putter…

We’re alive! After another sucky day (did another stretching class), my fever broke and the switch turned quickly to where I felt pretty normal. Eased back in with some Stacking Stuffers!

proud of this one after doing a lot of whining the last month. No PR but a solid output and forced myself to just hop on and do it.

I was going to take a 30 minute Low Impact ride this afternoon…but I think I’ll take these two instead!

Nudged you out with Emma but apparently was too gassed to do likewise on the Low Impact ride. Thanks for the recommendation!

That was the first group ride I’ve done. Was a tough one but was good to do a club bangers as hadn’t don’t one in a long time.

What is your daily streak at?

First Sam Yo ride I took I didn’t like, this one makes me think I should’ve given him another shot.

I like the format of Sweat Steady rides, I just wish a different instructor did them. Jess King is too much for me to handle most days.
