Didn’t get to ride this morning. Flight was delayed going home, so didn’t get home til about 1:30 am. I set my alarm for 4 am like usual but was so exhausted I never woke up.
I am hoping tomorrow to do a metric. Really just depends on what time I wake up, have to be back by 730 am- 745 am.
Training is kind of on hold while i’m in work training. The trainer and I are not getting a lot, and I have been so stressed out with bus school I can’t really focus on anything else.

Likely they will. And they will eventually have to be contained. Be lazy at your peril. I just ordered $50 worth of garden seed. Crops I used to grow up north, but grown out in Mexico, so they are already day length adapted. I did a small trial that’s just about done, just to see, and it was a great success. This will of course be all raised beds with brought in soil. We’re currently looking for a dump truck load. Seven cubic meters. We have other uses for it as well.

Checkride is June 1st. I then have some other classes on the 4th but no test with those classes.
I was hoping to go to atleast one race while down in Dallas but my schedule has not been able to accommodate that. I start Sims on Tuesday and they have us in the box at night so that’s not going to make races any easier to get too.

The whole thing sounds intense. I hope you get what you want out of it.

A little climbing, a little wind, a lot of scenery.

LeCol jersey size question - I wear large in PI and XL in Rapha. How does that translate to LeCol Sport Lightweight sizing?

I watched the nationals today. Kind of like watching paint dry, with a few seconds of excitement at the end.

Sad. Long standing community institutions are being rend asunder. And being replaced with what?
Gotta say in that position I'd be tempted to just do the bare minimum. Mow once every 1-2 weeks.
Yeah, that's healthy living.
The people buying our house are French showers and we close the deal on June 3rd. Despite their character deficiencies I want to leave them with a house that has a nicely maintained yard and lawn(s). I worked for an hour and a half today on the dreaded hill. It looks nice. I feel crappy. My old man taught me the right way and I have to honor that.
Yeah, that's healthy living.

Also, happy pentacost everyone!

PI Large fits me,about like XL in LeCol Sport fits me. It's snug but not tight.

I haven’t been able to figure out the regular tick on every pedal stroke. Checked, and changed pedals. Loosened and retightened cranks. Yeah it might be the shoes…
