Swim tips

Hello! Ive been practicing swimming for like 7 months now. First race is coming up in September. Taught my self mostly with youtube and instagram reels. Not the best video but its what I got. I can do 1:45/100 sometimes even better. But as soon as I swim more the 500m my pace drops to a 2min. How can I get better?

This or that

Getting a new set of tires for race day. Ive only used gp5000 and dont really have experience with other tires. This is also gonna be my first race. Should I still stick with gp5000’s or should I try pirelli? Any other tires you guys would recommend?

Whats this worth?

Hello everybody! Ive been cycling for a year now and safe to say Im hooked. I purchased this Canyon Endurance Allroad last year when it came out and Im looking to upgrade. What do you think is a fair price for this?

About the Bike:
Canyon endurance all road sz L.
Ive upgraded the cranks to ultegra 165 (second hand). Some elite wheels Ent 2.0 50mm with a new set of gp5000’s tr sz 32. I have a 120mm zipp stem with 38mm bars (also second hand) with some supercaz bartape.

I still have all the original parts so depending what bike I end up getting I might keep the wheels and maybe the handlebars? I hate the wide bars that come with larger bikes. Also the tt bars is cause Im training for a triathlon. So disregard that.

Nyack gravel

Hello! Ive cycled to nyack a couple of times now and made it to the beach. I see that theirs a bike trail you can take. Was curious if it can be done in road tires? Im on gp5000 32’s which makes me think maybe? But the last thing I want is to fix a flat.

Nutrition strategy

Hello everyone! As training is ramping up and the sessions have gotten longer the race has started to get very real(70.3). Question for you guys is what is the best setup for nutrition on the bike? I have a regular road bike. Nothing fancy. I have two bottle holders right now in the frame. What is the best setup? Bigger bottles one for carbs and one water? How much can I rely on the on course for my nutrition? Was planning on using a 700 bottle filled with maybe 140-160g carbs one with just water with electrolytes and some gels. Any better suggestions? Do I need a third bottle?

Knicks Fan in Mexico city

Hi! I am in town for game 3&4. I know football is the main sport here. But looking for bars that show basketball. Bonus if other Knicks fans wanna share some beers and maybe even some shots after we win.
