Everything Is Photogenic

Question for those of you who are into hiking/backpacking. I'm looking to plan a 3-day 2 2-night solo trip to do a little peak bagging in June. I've narrowed down to 2 loops.

1. Adirondack Eastern High Peaks summiting Marcy, Gray, Skylight, Haystack, Sawteeth, Gothics, and Wolfjaws
2. White Mountains summiting Middle Carter,
South Carter Mount, ain - NH48 major Mt HightCarter Dome - NH48 major

Wildcat Mountain A,B,C,D & E, Gulf Peak (Slide Peak), Boot Spur, Mt Washington, Mt Jefferson, Adams Five, Mt Adams, and Mt Madison.

I've been to the Adirondack region before, but have only one day summited Marcy and Whiteface, and I have never been to the Whites. The Adirondack region is a little closer to my home, and I might be able to be a bit more flexible with dates to accommodate the 5-day forecast, but it is somewhere I have been.

The Whites present an opportunity to see somewhere new and beautiful, but the weather is much less predictable, and there is the ever-present threat of bad weather (especially on Mt. Washington) that I won't have visibility to as reliably. I can prepare an extra day or two of float, but I'd prefer to not extend too long.

If any of you have been to both regions, where would you go?

One of the most common questions I get is how someone can recognize a "good cycling plan" or how they should be constructing their own.

In this week's video, I cover how to structure your weeks and blocks during the build phase of your training.

For those who train indoors and outdoors, tell me how your FTP/Power profile compares indoors to outdoors:

I forgot that attacking low-carb is tantamount to attacking someone's religion. 🤣 Check out this video if you want to understand the true science behind fueling for performance.

I'm putting together some notes for a video about endurance sports nutrition. Let me know your questions below, and I'll look to see if I can integrate any of the big hitters into the video!

Getting sick of riding the indoor trainer or running on the treadmill? Before you take it outside, make sure you watch this!

Have you used TrainingPeaks Virtual (IndieVelo)?

Would you be interested in a quick video this week sharing my thoughts about the TrainerRoad and Zwift integration? My perspective would come as a long-time user of both platforms, 13 years on TrainerRoad and 10 on Zwift.

I'm using an older gaming PC to run Zwift in 4K for my training setup. Windows has decided to effectively perpetually nerf my computer (I'm in a complicated no-win situation between Windows 10 and 11 due to having an older i7 processor, and a forced upgrade nerfs my computer with a watchdog BSOD). I finally bit the bullet and installed Ubuntu (if for no other reason than to get a working Windows partition back up).

Are any of you using Zwift on a Linux machine? What has your experience been like (installation, peripherals, stability, etc.) I have owned Linux machines but have never used one as an "entertainment" rig.

For extra credit, are any of you successfully using TrainerRoad without cueing it up on a separate device? This might be a bit of a wrinkle. My options might be to run on unsupported Windows 10 or dual devices. Both of them I'm not in love with.
