2023 Goals Update - July Recap & August Challenge

Another goals check-in on my path to become a better cyclist. This time, I talk about adding weight training, Zwift racing, the Build Me Up Lite program, Zwift climbing routes, and the race I have coming up in just over a week!

Great progress on the Tron bike!! Looking forward to seeing the footage on your 12 HR race… good luck Eric!!!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks Chris! I’ll do my best!

[@MrPedel]

Nice to see you’ve been bit by the climbing bug, too! Although climbing often comes with the risk of upgrading, it’s just a lot of fun. But now that you’ve been bumped back to B as well, that shouldn’t be an issue anymore

[@ericbarnettcycling]

It’s a love/hate relationship I have with climbing, but it’s something I know I need to do!

[@OnTheRivet]

Thanks Eric - only 158 more subs eh??

[@ericbarnettcycling]

😅uh yeah... totally going to do it, though. I think I'll make it a livestream whenever it happens! I don't know how you managed it and looked so tough doing it! I'm going to be a big baby in the ice bath - that I'm sure of!

Good luck for the 12th. In the UK 12th Aug is traditionally called the glorious 12th as it's the start of the grouse shooting season, not into shooting anything myself, but let's hope it's a glorious 12th for you. Really interesting video btw.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you Neil! I'll do my best to make it my own glorious 12th!

[@isaacchung1049]

that is good that we have supplemented the weight trainings with cycling. ty😋

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you - I’m trying to find the right balance, now!

[@troy_meeker]

Would love to do some group rides/ races and work as a team! You'll get the tron bike in no time!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

It’s too bad there isn’t a pacer bot up the Alpe. I feel like a lot of people would ride it! Totally up for a group Alpe climb - maybe after the upcoming race.

[@AdamJennison]

I like the alpe group ride, I'll be up for that

[@ericbarnettcycling]

The challenge will be figuring out the time of day. When I did the In The Drops podcast, we did 5 pm my time, which was 10 pm UK time and 6 am in Australia. On the weekends I’m pretty flexible, though I’m more of an early bird than a night owl.

[@Jono01]

I’d love to join you for the ride up the Alpe Eric. 😊

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Awesome - the challenging part will be coming up with a time that people in different locations can join. I'll start some polling and we'll figure it out!

@@ericbarnettcycling I’m in Australia so good luck with that! 😂
