Wife and I went out for tapas last night. The amount of damage that has done to my stomach today is unbelievable.

The change of seasons has reminded me I am a sailing S and a cycling M. Maybe I’m an L in some really weenie sport.

Demonstrably. I love mine. It would be a close race with the induction hotplate. That thing is just amazing. I put the water on, put the oatmeal in it and am eating said oatmeal 30 seconds later. But on the coffee front, I drink mine tepid. And instant. I had a true addict for an acquaintance once. He used to buy up dried poppies, from flower arranging shops, for the opium. His type is why they were made illegal. He got into caffeine tabs for a bit. He would mention that by the time your water's boiling, I've already got a buzz on.

While packing for my ride this morning, I noted that my mini-6 has made its escape. I vaguely remember pocketing it for a test ride. Oh! But wait! The last bike I rode has tubulars, and a Cannondale spare tire bag. No doubt it's in there. Whew!

I felt good about planning ahead and, after working my way in to a headwind, making sure that I had a nice tailwind on a long, straight stretch. What caught me by surprise was the wind turning a bit and working against me for the last two+ hours.

Went up Old La Honda today for the first time since November. Improved my time by 16 seconds! I guess between Zwift and losing 10 lbs, I have given myself a much better starting point for this year than I've ever managed.

That's the effect I call the Omnidirectional Headwind.

First time I went to a tapas bar, it was at the invitation of our IP lawyer. When he said, "Tapas bar", I could have SWORN he said "topless".
