Happy Saturday! I’m curious what people carry on their rides. I use a Silca Mattone seat pack (it’s held up really well), and I usually bring a small Silca electric pump, a Dynaplug kit, a Silca multi-tool (with a quick link), and a lightweight Hiplok Z LOK. If a plug won’t get me back on the road, my backup plan is to call an Uber, though I know that’s not realistic everywhere.

Any nice photos form today!? I know that a few of the North American gang have been planning on going outside for the first time this weekend 😎🙏

Race schedule for men and women (and the broadcast list for those watching in USA). We’re in the process of getting a spreadsheet made so you can enter your pick easily for each stage of a specific race. Basically the rules are simple: Stage races you pick one person for each stage (CANNOT repeat picks, no Pog every summit finish ok). 1st - 25pts 2nd - 24pts ——————— 25th - 1pt 26th and on - 0pts We’ll be mostly using the honor system because I feel like we should only be responsible for our own score. Also, I think it would be fun to track the 10 classics from Strade-Bianche to LBL cumulatively, let us know your thoughts on this. I think it’ll mix things up since you’ll have to pick smartly! If you have any comments, questions, things to add, etc feel free to message me, message @Mary H , or just comment here!

Last week I was chatting to somebody who was using hexis and it seemed like he was really underfuelling. Sounded like he was empty when starting the sessions and I got the sense that energy was down significantly compared to normal. He had been using hexis and was happy with his progress but all of a sudden it seemed like he was way hungrier than normal and something wasn’t adding up. He checked his weight goal on hexis and somehow it had slashed his weekly weight loss goal to 1.8kg! He was almost at his target weight so he definitely did not need to lose the last couple of kgs that fast. He definitely didn’t intentionally set the weight loss to 1.8kg so I don’t know if he hit a button by accident or if the app just 💩 itself. Just be careful and check that you have the correct weight target set whether it’s to lose weight, maintain weight etc. You need to check this on the website not through the app. Under profile, then Health & Performance, then move the slider to a "healthy" deficit. Usually .5kg a week. “In my case it was set to a 15% caloric deficit, and the more I exercised the more it would trim my calories. I was wondering why when I completed workouts I would lose 200ish calories off of my day.” Might just be a once off thing but this could have had big implications if it went unnoticed.

Coaches Came across this today https://www.instagram.com/p/DTxwuVJFQIV/?img_index=12&igsh=MWYybXZkNnhtMWh1dg== Basically saying we got it all wrong with the emphasis of high carb fuelling on workouts. Interested in your thoughts
