Long Rides

Does a century ride on the turbo count?

I never bother with a cafe stop. Quick stop at a shop to buy some food/drink - eat it quickly and on my way. I am also someone who heads out really early at weekends - setting off at 5am for long rides or long runs is not unheard of.

It counts in the same way playing CoD prepares you for urban close combat.

So it counts as twice as good ?

For me, a social ride with a stop is exactly how I expect it to be and I know that going in.
A training ride is a different beast and I do those mainly solo.

Club rides are the worst, as they tend to be full of clueless roadies these days that have never race but ride like they think they know what they’re doing.
They will stop for coffee and basically bang on like a load of obnoxious tests.
I miss the old days in Oz where the only reason you’d join a club is to get you CA licence for racing.
