Been cycling for the last 3 years. Mostly commuting 9 miles to work and back and longer weekend bike trips (30-50 miles), longest single day being 86 miles during the Florida Coast 2 Coast ride. I just picked up a smart trainer and now I’m about to sound a kid who just learned a few new buzzwords. I did an FTP test using the MyWhoosh app on the trainer and being 49yo, 205 lbs, my FTP was 159 watts, or about 1.7W/kg. I have arbitrarily decided I want to train up to 2.0kg/kg by the end of the year. Is there suggested training routines for doing that? Shorter more intense rides? Just sustained 1 hour rides? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello,

My wife is from Bangkok but is going to be staying at City Link in Korat for a couple months to help take care of family. Since she's from Bangkok she has always relied on public transportation and doesn't know how to ride a scooter. In order to get around the City and not rely on Grab, are there are any Songthaews that make their way into the City Link area? Or is her best option walking to Mittraphap Rd and getting a Songthaew there?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just like the title. Found them through my k-pop browsing and want to learn more about them.

On the more cheeky side, been watch Kdramas for about 10 years now and have learned that:

• Getting rained on, even if it’s for 10 seconds will always make your bedridden sick

• Visiting a forested mountain side will always result is someone falling down and getting lost

Been playing since launch of D1, tried for Vex back in the D1 days and only ever got the Vision of Confluence. Since then, most of my fireteam had moved on and I never really went back into VoG. Now, in D2 2026, is VoG doable with a 3-man team? And is there is any way of increasing my chances of getting Myth?

With the quarter break DJ, the blue lights, the fireworks, the video board graphics, and Citronaught with light beams shooting out of its eyes, me and my friends had a blast. Yeah, the game was frustrating, but it at least had some fun moments as well.

Title says it all. I have a small electric pump but wanted to keep it fully charged for flats. Do most people check the pressure daily or is that overkill?

It's my understanding that GHIN will adjust scores based on how the course is playing that day, the PCC - Playing Conditions Calculation. Usually maybe a stroke or two or off. However, what if a course has a temporary tee box that is at the 100 yard mark on a hole that is normally a Par 4 on the scorecard? Will GHIN somehow adjust that to a Par 3? Or add a stroke?

My first Florida coast to coast trip has turned into a bikepacking trip. I’m taking Amtrak from Orlando the Tampa. When loading your bike on the train, are you require to remove all your side bags and gear?

Just curious if anyone here has had access to a tour.
