Trading the rocky singletrack of Colorado Springs for the sun-soaked roads of San Diego has been an unexpected shift, and a humbling one. The San Diego cycling scene is fast, competitive, and filled with riders who make you dig deep just to hang on. As I’ve rediscovered road riding, I’ve learned that speed isn’t just about fitness, it’s also about efficiency. From refining my aero bike fit to experimenting with budget-friendly upgrades like position tweaks, I’m rebuilding both strength and speed one ride at a time. Here’s what I’ve learned so far, and how I’m finding my rhythm again on the road.
How often have you put in a hard morning workout and then found yourself functioning at less than full mental capacity at work afterward? Or, have you ever done a late afternoon or evening training session and found yourself struggling to wind down for bed before 1AM? We developed our Nano CBD Drops to help athletes better handle both of these scenarios.
It's tough to imagine advanced cycling training without power meters. They are one of the greatest advancements in cycling training technology and have become a standard tool for anyone who wants to maximize performance.
The man responsible for developing the first cycling power meter, and arguably influencing all power meters developed since, is Ulrich Schoberer. Also known as Mr. SRM, or as his friends call him, Uli.
I was able to capture one of my chats with Uli, so sit back and get ready for his take on cycling, technology, and the latest from SRM.
Regular customers might recall that we originally released Nano CBD Softgels along with our Nano CBD Drops. We've since stopped making the Softgels and only offer Nano CBD Drops, but why?
While we were proud of the quality of our Nano CBD Softgels, we and some core customers found that we got more from the delivery system used for the Drops -- especially when each dose was held under the tongue for 30-60 seconds before swallowing. Doing so allowed for more complete and faster absorption. While I new much of this before we ever released either product, the real-world effect was greater than I expected.
Since we've released Beta Red Pre-Workout Endurance Formula a few months ago, we've had plenty of opportunity to talk to both those who've been using it and those who were considering it.
