  276. <h2>C&amp;O But Slow Preview</h2>
  277. <h2>Celebrate 10 Years of Pedalshift Live 6/8</h2>
  278. <ul>
  279. <li>The march to the ten year anniversary of the show commences… Live show to celebrate things June 8th, at 8pm ET. It will be podcasted the following week but always down for some live banter.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> It&#8217;ll be on the <a href="https://youtube.com/live/-u45VErpq3U?feature=share">YouTube channel</a> and here at <a href="https://pedalshift.net/live/">pedalshift.net/live</a>.</span></li>
  280. </ul>
  281. <h2>The basics</h2>
  282. <ul>
  283. <li>Full size bike</li>
  284. <li>New config (more on that in a moment)</li>
  285. <li>Cumberland with Amtrak from DC and then… ?</li>
  286. <li>Going with a stove this time</li>
  287. <li>All camping</li>
  288. <li>Forecast looks like rain</li>
  289. <li>I’m getting over a cold, so not sure how that will impact things</li>
  290. </ul>
  291. <h2>New config?</h2>
  292. <ul>
  293. <li>The front rack from last season is fine but I want to try something new</li>
  294. <li>Found I couldn’t get the bike in the Dogsbody bag last year and I didn’t want to keep having to install/unintall. Might end up on my ebike?</li>
  295. <li>Solution: Fork bags + Hanging sleep kit from bars</li>
  296. <li>7L each side</li>
  297. <li>Very narrow &#8211; a little too narrow?</li>
  298. <li>Allows me to be a bit more nimble</li>
  299. </ul>
  300. <h2>Pacing</h2>
  301. <ul>
  302. <li>First night will be close to a new moon unfortunately</li>
  303. <li>Would love to do 20 miles even though it’s night riding</li>
  304. <li>Don’t have specific plans for any particular campsites</li>
  305. <li>The end of the tour is up in the air… I have two options (Martinsburg and Harpers Ferry) so if I’m really enjoying the riding, I can make the miles. But if I’m enjoying the vibes (or other things) I can make this a shorter trip with some road riding on the final day</li>
  306. </ul>
  307. <h2>Food/water</h2>
  308. <ul>
  309. <li>Will likely carry more food than I have on past trips<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></li>
  310. <li>BUT going to do backpacking meals. Keeping it simple and light</li>
  311. <li>NPS no longer treats the wells, so I have a new gravity fed water filter. Trying not to carry as much as I have in the past</li>
  312. <li>Stove needed for meals, so I can at also enjoy coffee</li>
  313. <li>Weather</li>
  314. <li><span style="font-size: 1.6rem;">Looks wet but not hot. Will be prepared</span></li>
  315. <li><span style="font-size: 1.6rem;">This might be the thing that impacts choosing a short or long ride… trail conditions, preferring to stay in the tent for a morning rain, etc. etc.</span></li>
  316. </ul>
  317. <h2>Other stuff</h2>
  318. <ul>
  319. <li>Paw Paw tunnel is reopened!</li>
  320. <li>Not intending on climbing up to stay at my cabin (although it’s a backup option)</li>
  321. <li>Name of the game is slow and steady and enjoying the ride rather than just banging out miles. Would have preferred a little more riding time on Saturday to spread it out a bit more</li>
  322. </ul></div>

  439. <h2>The Science of Cycling</h2>
  440. <h2>Programming notes</h2>
  441. <ul>
  442. <li>Best of next week</li>
  443. <li>Spring tour preview the week after, followed by the tour journal!</li>
  444. <li>The march to the ten year anniversary of the show commences… Live show to celebrate things <strong>June 8th, at 8pm ET</strong>. It will be podcasted the following week but always down for some live banter.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> It&#8217;ll be on the <a href="https://youtube.com/live/-u45VErpq3U?feature=share">YouTube channel</a> and here at <a href="https://pedalshift.net/live/">pedalshift.net/live</a>.</span></li>
  445. </ul>
  446. <h2><b>The Physics of Cycling</b></h2>
  447. <p>1. Rolling Resistance</p>
  448. <ul>
  449. <li>Definition: Explain rolling resistance as the force that opposes the motion when an object (like a bicycle tire) rolls on a surface.</li>
  450. <li>Factors Affecting Rolling Resistance:
  451. <ul>
  452. <li>Tire Type and Pressure: Soft tires or low pressure increases resistance.</li>
  453. <li>Surface Type: Rough surfaces like gravel increase resistance compared to smooth surfaces like pavement.</li>
  454. </ul>
  455. </li>
  456. <li>Real-World Example: Compare how it feels to ride a bike on a sandy beach versus a smooth bike path.</li>
  457. </ul>
  458. <p>2. Air Resistance (Drag)</p>
  459. <ul>
  460. <li>Definition: Air resistance is the force air exerts against a moving object.</li>
  461. <li>Factors Affecting Air Resistance:
  462. <ul>
  463. <li>Speed: The faster you go, the more air resistance you face.</li>
  464. <li>Rider’s Position and Shape: Explain how being more streamlined (like bending low on the bike) reduces air resistance.</li>
  465. </ul>
  466. </li>
  467. <li>Practical Tip: Demonstrate with hands outstretched vs. hands close to the body while riding to feel the difference.</li>
  468. </ul>
  469. <p>3. Energy and Power</p>
  470. <ul>
  471. <li>Energy Definition: The ability to do work, like pedaling a bike.</li>
  472. <li>Power Definition: How quickly you can use energy (pedal) to move.</li>
  473. <li>Conversion of Energy: Discuss how food energy converts into mechanical energy to pedal.</li>
  474. <li>Measurement: Mention that power can be measured in watts, like how bright a light bulb is.</li>
  475. </ul>
  476. <p>4. Gravity and Hills</p>
  477. <ul>
  478. <li>Gravity’s Effect on Cycling:
  479. <ul>
  480. <li>Uphill: Gravity makes it harder to pedal uphill because you are working against it.</li>
  481. <li>Downhill: Gravity helps you go faster downhill.</li>
  482. </ul>
  483. </li>
  484. <li>Energy Use: Explain how more energy is needed to pedal uphill and less energy is used when coasting downhill.</li>
  485. <li>Practical Tips:
  486. <ul>
  487. <li>Gear Usage: Using lower gears on uphill and higher gears on flat or downhill.</li>
  488. </ul>
  489. </li>
  490. </ul>
  491. <h2><b>The Biomechanics of Riding</b></h2>
  492. <p>1. Human-Bike Interaction</p>
  493. <ul>
  494. <li>Pedaling Efficiency:
  495. <ul>
  496. <li>Definition: How effectively a rider can convert their energy into motion.</li>
  497. <li>Factors Affecting Efficiency: Foot position on the pedals, the smoothness of pedaling, and maintaining a steady rhythm.</li>
  498. </ul>
  499. </li>
  500. <li>Ergonomics of Bicycle Frames and Riding Positions:
  501. <ul>
  502. <li>Frame Size and Shape: Importance of having a bike frame that fits the rider’s body to avoid discomfort.</li>
  503. <li>Riding Position: Discuss how different riding positions (upright vs. leaned forward) affect comfort and speed.</li>
  504. </ul>
  505. </li>
  506. <li>Practical Tip: How to adjust a bike to fit (seat height, handlebar position).</li>
  507. </ul>
  508. <p>2. Muscle Work and Efficiency</p>
  509. <ul>
  510. <li>Muscle Groups Involved in Cycling:
  511. <ul>
  512. <li>Main Muscles: Legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves), but also mention the core and arms for balance and control.</li>
  513. </ul>
  514. </li>
  515. <li>Efficiency in Muscle Use:
  516. <ul>
  517. <li>Warm-Up: Importance of warming up muscles to prevent injuries and improve performance.</li>
  518. <li>Stamina and Strength: How regular riding improves muscle strength and cardiovascular health.</li>
  519. </ul>
  520. </li>
  521. <li>Bicycle fitting can improve efficiencies</li>
  522. </ul>
  523. <p>3. The Role of Gearing</p>
  524. <ul>
  525. <li>What is Gearing?:
  526. <ul>
  527. <li>Definition: Gearing is a way to adjust how hard or easy it is to pedal.</li>
  528. <li>How Gears Work: Explain the basics of chainrings and cogs and how changing gears changes the resistance felt when pedaling.</li>
  529. </ul>
  530. </li>
  531. <li>Choosing the Right Gear:
  532. <ul>
  533. <li>Uphill and Downhill Riding: Using lower gears for uphill to make pedaling easier, and higher gears for downhill or flat surfaces to go faster.</li>
  534. <li>Cadence: Keeping a steady pedaling speed (cadence) to maintain efficiency.</li>
  535. </ul>
  536. </li>
  537. <li>Practical Tip: Encourage trying different gears during a ride to find what feels best for different terrains.</li>
  538. </ul>

  1041. <ul>
  1042. <li>A Brompton can do just about any kind of touring you throw at it</li>
  1043. <li>Resist the temptation to leave tools at home, even for urban tours</li>
  1044. <li>Best sun management for me &#8211; cover up arms and legs, sunscreen face and neck</li>
  1045. <li>Cycling gloves do make a difference</li>
  1046. <li>The rumors are true: upright riding is more comfortable</li>
  1047. <li>The backpack trick is back, baby!</li>
  1048. <li>Never take US192 to cross I4 &#8211; it’s not safe</li>
  1049. <li>Cycling into Disney World is fun, and I think I’ll keep doing it</li>
  1050. <li>Central Florida is constantly evolving &#8211; some of the trails I ended up on randomly (Shingle Creek Trail opened last year &#8211; thanks for the info Fernando!)</li>
  1051. <li>FL C2C trail is A+ but I’m also intrigued with the Heart of FL trail and the St. Johns River to Sea Loop</li>
