finally got to ride the new bike tonight. Handles really well, and is super smooth. It accelerates really really fast, where I can actually feel myself cranking forward if that makes any sense. The only think I am noticing is when I am at my top flat land speed, I feel a lot of resistance in my legs, and it feels like it is coming from the back wheel. I don’t have my bike computer on it yet so I am not sure what my cadence was, but if I had to guess I would say low 90s, and if I shifted to a higher gear, my cadence would increase, but the resistance was still there. I only rode 12 miles and my average speed was only 18.5 but I felt like I was working really really hard. I was kind of expecting my average speed was going to be above 20 for how hard I was working.
No break rub on the rear wheel at all. Front wheel has a very very slight rub. If I spin the wheel, the wheel doesn’t slow down, but you can hear it gently touch.
Only other thing is the front derailer needs to be adjusted. Chain rubs on the two smallest cogs when using both chain rings.
Super stoked, can’t wait to ride it more.

I've got no idea what my IQ is, but I'm pretty sure it dropped a few points after reading that thread.

Hey MoAlpha one of my college friends told me his daughter got drafted by NIH to switch from cancer research to COVID19 vaccine research. He said they are optimistic they will have something viable much sooner than the 18 month time-frame I had heard.
I hope that's true.

Don’t worry. There is a tremendous amount of aggregate research on that area because it spans diseases of every organ system, every age group, and every mechanism from genetics to infection to cancer. On top of that, there’s huge Pharma investment because of the success of all those fancy biologics.

This isn't Strava--my opinion counts.

Off to the office this morning to pack boxes for our impending move across the street. We each scheduled a day so that we don’t cross paths.

Just to air my hypocrisy, I do wish our very good and cautious gov., Larry Hogan, would lift the ban on recreational boating this week. We’ll carry masks in case we need to aid other mariners or be SAR’d ourselves.

Infection rates in our county are shooting through the roof, and the stories suggest a perfect storm of events that led to this:
- Start with several chicken-processing plants. These never shut down as they are considered essential. Workers in these plants stand side-by-side as they process chickens.
- Employees at these plants are poor, and live in much higher density housing. An infected family member can't easily isolate from the rest of their family.
- Many of the employees speak Spanish as a 1st language, and thus information wasn't reaching them.
- Some of the employees have immigration issues, and fear deportation.
