Chapter 12 Cycling Training
Li Ang has no objection to this result. The main reason is that he doesn't know much about their respective strengths now. What's more, he is the financial backer. He can get so many US dollars in reward for riding a bicycle. Where can he find such a good thing?
Probably guessing that Li Ang might not prepare any equipment, Eric thoughtfully prepared sports drinks, kneepads, helmets and other necessary items for him for riding.
"Today's cycling training volume is 80 kilometers. We are not pursuing speed. The main purpose is to exercise our team's coordination ability and synergy."
Eric assigned the target, and Li Ang pushed the car to the side of the road very excitedly.
He has always been interested in this kind of collective cycling activity, but unfortunately he never had the chance to participate due to various reasons.
The United States is vast and sparsely populated, so it’s easy to choose cycling routes. It’s not a prosperous area, and there aren’t many passing vehicles and pedestrians.
In the first two minutes, Li Ang had been adapting to this new road bike and trying out the shifting function on the bike. Without comparison, there would be no harm. In comparison, this bike was simply so much easier to ride.
But when the other two people saw Li Ang's movements, they all cast doubtful glances at Eric.
But as soon as two minutes passed, the expressions of several people changed again.
Li Ang's various movements were as if he were a different person. They were quite standard and professional, and could reach the top level among amateur players.
Only Eric was not surprised by this. In fact, when he saw Li Ang for the first time, he could see from his actions that his posture was definitely professional, but he didn't know why he was riding a women's bicycle. Maybe this is just what the master does as he pleases.
Since it is still in the warm-up stage, Eric lets everyone play freely.
Li Ang was also unable to suppress the restlessness of his body. He wanted to know what his full-power explosion would look like.
As for before this, he didn't dare to try it at all, for fear that the car would be crushed and the only means of transportation would be gone.
After a few people started, the speed quickly reached 30 kilometers per hour, but Li Ang continued to accelerate, and his cadence became faster and faster.
The remaining three people were not willing to lag behind and quickly accelerated to catch up.
"At the speed of 40, 50, 60, he wouldn't have already passed 70, right?"
Little Eric looked at the stopwatch on his car. The speed at this time had reached 58 kilometers per hour, which was the limit of his body on flat roads.
At this time, he could still see that the distance between Li Ang and him was getting wider and wider.
In less than ten seconds, little Eric's body had to reduce his cadence, and his speed gradually slowed down to 40.
This is definitely not a bad thing for little Eric. In fact, his riding ability is firmly ranked in the top ten in their school.
This is a result he achieved after three or four years of continuous training.
For cyclists who ride regularly, a sprint speed of 50 on flat ground is already a good level.
"Are you really sure he's not registered as a professional driver?"
The sturdy young man who had been silent until now asked.
"I can confirm that there is not, if the name he gave me is not a false one."
Eric's eyes were shining, and he knew that he had found a treasure this time.
In this way, they can not only compete for the top three, but even the championship.
"His explosive power is definitely top-notch. Maybe we should adjust him to be a line rusher."
Little Eric's tone is still a little solemn until now.
After about two minutes, the three of them caught up with Li Ang, who had slowed down.
【】
His back was soaked, but he didn't show any signs of exhaustion.
"If you don't mind, can I see your computer?"
Little Eric was a little excited and immediately came forward.
"Please feel free to do so."
"Hou Li Crab! 66.5 kilometers per hour, brother, Li is 3 kilometers per hour faster than your limit speed on this road."
Little Eric stared at his brother with his eyes widened and said.
Now he doesn't feel depressed anymore, after all, even his brother can't compare.
The flat road sprint speed of over 60 is actually a watershed in strength. It can be regarded as relying on human power to reach the speed of a car on ordinary roads.
After several people understood Li Ang's strength, the atmosphere of the exchange became much more relaxed.
Li Ang has also learned from his memory that this is the temperament of young Americans.
If you have strength, no matter how arrogant you are, everyone will admire you and worship you; if you don't have strength, even if you give in and beg for mercy, people will only beat you harder and look down on you more.
After half a day of training, everyone maintained an average speed of over 30 and completed the 80-kilometer goal.
After this ride, the three of them gained a new understanding of Li Ang.
I originally thought that he was just very explosive, but I didn't expect that his endurance was not bad at all. It can only be said that Li Ang's overall level of riding is no longer on the same level as them.
Li Ang gained 160 [Cycling] proficiency, while his physique and strength also increased by 0.05 and 0.02 respectively.
After this ride, he had a rough idea of his current level.
Without pushing his abilities to the limit, he was able to stabilize the best of these three amateur riders.
By the time the competition officially starts, his [Riding] proficiency level will at least rise one level, and his physical fitness will also increase significantly.
At that time, he will not be able to crush other contestants, but as long as the professional players do not come out, he should not be suppressed by others.
As for lunch, it was naturally arranged by the wealthy Eric.
The few people had just finished 80 kilometers of training and were starving.
After discussion, they chose a Brazilian barbecue buffet restaurant with a good grade.
Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If this was a restaurant with a treat-and-order system, he would really be embarrassed to eat as much as he wanted, but it didn't matter if it was a buffet.
The form of the buffet is that the waiter brings the grilled meat in the plate, and if you want to eat, you can ask him to cut a piece for you.
The three of them have been exercising all year round, and their physiques are also quite strong. Naturally, they have a large appetite, and basically they want whatever they want.
Sizzling steak, charred and tempting lamb legs, Orleans chicken wings, smoked bacon, no matter what, they just put it in their mouths.
However, they did not realize that although Li Ang was thin, he had a large appetite.
It was normal to think about it. Without this energy replenishment, it would be difficult to have such strong explosive power and physical strength.
The meal took a full hour and a half, and when it was almost time for dinner, several people left the restaurant with satisfaction.
Including the tip, the meal cost more than 300 yuan in total, which was basically no pressure for Eric.
If the same amount of food was eaten in a slightly more upscale restaurant, it would probably cost at least 800 yuan.
After dinner, several people invited Li Ang to participate in other activities in the afternoon, but he politely declined.
