Side note: By data is slightly different I mean that I rode for the full 5mins but 5.1km is probably not accurate, it's probably closer to 3.5km based on my speed/cadence

Today = 3 weeks of shifting my diet/starting exercise & despite having to miss a couple of days, when it comes to riding each day, my diet has been consistent and I'm hoping to keep going. Didn't use variable speed this time so data is slightly different.
Today: 5.1km - Italy - Viaso Socchieve

Quick side note, once I get paid this week I'll be getting a set of scales that will be able to actually read my weight and I'll be able to track that alongside my diet on MyFitnessPal.

My energy levels are really low. This diet adjustment has meant more nutrients but at the cost of pushing my body into keto which is sapping all my spare energy. I'm huffing a lot quicker during rides and even this one was rough to get through.
Today: 1.6km - Belgium - Mariekerke to St Amands

Unfortunately today was another rough one. I'm really looking forward to getting a sleep test done so I can get a CPAP machine and actually get the rest I need to match the low energy diet I'm on. :(

Yeah so kinda glad I missed yesterday and today hasn't been any better. Managed to get a ride in but this sucks haha. My body just feels so weak and combined with being out of breath super quick I really hope this passes. I was getting better and now I'm struggling.
Today: 2.9km - USA - Colorado

Basically standing up makes me hyperventilate and even walking too fast can also cause me to get out of breath super quick. Thankfully it's not impacting my ability to ride but man this is brutal. So many things no one mentions about weight loss 😔

Unless something changes between now and midnight I'm probably giving today's ride a miss. Work has absolutely drained me and I can barely think straight and stay awake let alone ride. I think I'll be better off getting some rest and getting back to it tomorrow.

Diet shift starting today as my dietician wants me on diet replacement shakes instead of just meal replacement shakes so I get all the vitamins/minerals/etc I need. My body is so low energy right now but just gotta keep going 😤
Today: 2.6km - Spain - Mallorca - Port de Pollença

Almost forgot to post today. Been feeling rough due to the diet and low calories but hopefully things will start improving soon!
Today: 3.7km - France - Grau d'Agde beach

Foot is all better but I've been suffering from severe nausea. Turns out my diet was a few grams over in carbs so I wasn't entering ketosis despite the really low calorie intake. Started proper 2 days ago & today I've been feeling the effects.
Today: 2.7km - Germany - Lewitz-Naturschutzgebiet

Unfortunately today I ended up needing to do a walk to see my dietician. This resulted in me injuring my foot and so I've been unable to ride today. It sucks losing my streak but at the end of the day I've been moving which is good and tomorrow I'll hopefully be rested enough to get back to it

Today has been the single hardest day so far. I had an appointment with a surgeon to discuss weight loss surgery and I think that anxiety combined with fatigue just made fighting the hunger & desires really rough. Hoping things get better.
Today 4.8km Italy - Sardinia: The beaches south of Pula

Definitely think I'm gonna stick with the slower pace but try for longer distances. Going too fast burns the muscles out a bit too quickly & due to my size and sitting position develops aches faster than if I go a bit slower. Still, another 5km ride :D
Today: 5.1km Poland - Borków Reservoir

Slow short one today since my right leg is still a bit sore and I don't want to overdo it but still want to get a ride in. The inner thigh ache is gone but the calf is a bit tender so I'm hoping that after a shorter day it'll rest up.
Today: 2.2km USA - Perimeter of Facebook/Meta

Do you have any resources or setup guides for how you achieve results like this? Looks amazing and would love to have similar results with my viera :D

Tried a downhill track today. Definitely not the favourite, felt like I was able to pedal too fast and also that I wasn't pushing as hard. Good to know for future rides!
Today: 5.6km France - Downhill Valcebollere - Oceja

This is definitely my limit for now. I had a bit of an ache on my inner thigh on my right leg yesterday towards the end and it happened again today. Don't want to overdue it and hurt myself so I'll stick with this for now.
Today: 4.9km Spain - Barcelona - Passeig Marítim del Port Olímpic

Also side note: one week down! Woo!

I was definitely pushing it today. Not sure if it was the elevation changes or the amount of time, will need to do more tracks to see but either way my legs were burning and I was breathing pretty hard. Which to me is a good thing 😅
Today: 4.1km Japan - Hakone-Town | kanagawa-Pref

I pushed a bit harder and it paid off. Really helps being able to play my switch while I ride. Hoping that tomorrow I can repeat the distance and time and then push for 5km on Monday! These virtual rides have been really fun so far 😃
Today: 4km Germany Meppen - Kurze Tour an der Ems

New PB! Another 7min ride but I went further today! Hoping I can push for 4km tomorrow or over the weekend we will see. I'm going by distance moreso than time because it's a bit more accurate since I use variable speed on the videos. These are all virtual bike rides btw
Today: 3.1km Spain Roses Bay

I was able to push a bit harder, same range but slightly faster than the estimated time because I ended up doing it later in the day and had spent a busy morning walking a fair bit due to blood tests and doc visit.
Today: 2.3km France - Plage - Baie des Cochons

I tried ocean fishing at 4am once and got put with one other person and we just had a chill chat and fished it was nice

Shorter one today because I did a fair bit of walking this morning which has got my legs feeling oof. Gonna try and push for a longer one tomorrow. Diet is still consistent despite initial pains & cravings, they're going away fairly fast.
Today: 1.9km San Fransisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge

Keen to start losing weight as the seat isn't very comfortable and my legs are strained at an awkward angle. I can only seem to push for 2.5km or 7min but hopefully I'll keep improving over time. Also the elevation change was fun but brutal 😀
Today: 2.5km Norway

I want to note an aside that the distance/time isn't as important to me as just moving. My job has me sitting at a desk all day so this is what Im using to get my ability to move back.

"that's a pretty shit thing to say man"
"But it's funny tho"
"Bro aint no one laughin"
This is a good one cause it makes them realise they're the only one who thinks that shit is funny

I got a cameo for someone I was dating from Aaron Douglas a while back cause Katee didn't have one at the time. A lot of that cast really seem to enjoy talking about their time on that show.

That is so cool! Starbuck was my favourite character and Katee seems like an awesome person. Enjoy!!!

Do you have these sections at the bottom?

Ultimately, the site seems to boil down to curating to what you want to see which is honestly why I prefer it to other sites. It's more work setting it up but once you get it going it's so much more enjoyable avoiding a lot of trash without needing to block every second account you see.

My trending section shows up on the right hand side on web. Might be a way to turn it on/off somewhere in settings.
I mostly use the Following feed but also Game Dev and Discover usually has a lot of what I want to see because of the feeds I've added.

haha I've used Unity since 2013, not the biggest fan of the direction of the engine tbh and when I started using blueprints in UE it clicked so fast & I can code so much quicker in it that I just haven't really had a reason to switch back. But the skillset is still there if I ever need it :)

Depends on the TCG but PSA is pretty much the go-to for value they're just a fair bit inconsistent.
