NOS Bike Tune up

OK, As Patrick has decreed, the NOS starts on Nov 2. In order to be ready, it is a good idea to take a bit and make sure that your bike is in shape to get you in shape.

1. Please take the time to make sure that your trainer setup is hooked up to Trainer Road, Zwift, or your training app of choice. That means checking your Ant+ or bluetooth connections of your heart rate monitor, Powermeter, and cadence/speed sensor.
2. To download the 2021 OS bike workouts for Zwift, Go to here https://app.box.com/s/6qq9ycr5u1k2lzma9u58oxvfehvzsgaz
3. Make sure you have a new or clean lubed chain.
4. A sweat guard for your bike is good to protect it from your monkey sweat. Similarly, a pad underneath your bike is key to keep sweat off of your floors.
5. Make sure that your shifters and cables are lubed (or DI2 is charged)
6. If you have not had a bike fit, this would be a good time to get one. Your undercarriage will thank you.

Also, take a chance to look ove the OS workouts and select the level of OS that you will be doing. I am shooting for the Level 2 plan after having started out on Level 3 last year and having to back off due to cumulative fatigue about 6 weeks in. The OS bike plan starts off with 4 weeks on longer intervals then 4 weeks of VO2, then 4 more weeks of longer intervals so be ready.

The official NOS Bike Thread will start Sunday Nov 1 so I look forward to seeing you on(line) Nov 2.
