Construction has been going on for almost a year and they literally destroyed the streets with temporary pavement slabs. Does anyone know what project the contractors are doing with the pipes under the street and why is it taking so long?

8/7/2026. Thst was a fun class but I don’t think it’s well executed. Way too much rest in Z1, thus the TSS is lower than a typical real routes CVV ride. 10 minutes in Z1 is kinda comical tbh. Oh well Matt Wilpers can’t like not actually do the workout he coaches in the studio.

What I’d have done is a 28 minutes main set

15 min warm up formulaic peloton power zone warm up

1 min Z6
2 min Z1
3x 5 min Z5, 2 min Z1/Z2
2x 30/30 Z6/Z1
2x 20/40 Z7/Z1

2 min cool

Just finished the Presidio Half Marathon and I have mixed feelings. 12.88 miles on the GPS with 871 elevation gain (unlikely to be accurate). I really really hate the fact that we hit a wall of walkers and the 10k race group on the walkway.

Finished in 93 minutes and I’m pretty happy with that given the elevation. The hills are no joke. Hardest miles were mile 3.5-5.5 with the constant steep / gradual uphill into Presidio. Views of the bridge and the bay more than make up for the suffering though.

I really hated how people blocked the course when we were running into the bridge — the last downhill section before you turn left into the walkway. And people not honoring the faster runners on the left side of the path is so stupid.

Post-race fuel was a protein shake from Earthbar + a banana and then immediately drove down to Pebble Beach.

If you haven’t run this one, highly recommend doing it for the experience but don’t expect a PR. The course through the park is gorgeous and the vibe was great. Don’t like the organization at all.

I did not eat any of the post race “breakfast” due to stomach issues and needing protein more than carbs. The best thing was the mojito mint lattes!

Weather was 10/10. Yes foggy so not best views but the air is perfect and you dont feel dehydrated.

How was your experience?

46 dollars for a single class. I'm out. It was 40/person.

Edit; this is for NYC. Effectively ~$50
