Probably, depends on what you're after? Dvorak? Duets? Sonatinas?
My knowledge of classical is pretty scattershot outside of some of the more modern pianists (where it is more exhaustive) - Chopin, Debussy, Satie. Especially Chopin.

more TT bike Thursdays, endurance stuff. I'll do my usual 30' at high z2 then 15' at a solid tempo pace. With any luck, next Thursday I may get to do a TT bike workout outside, and for a couple hours or more! Then 4 hours on Black Friday (road bike) if I'm really lucky. Family visiting and helping mom and whatnot.
yes this is a recycled image.... but at least im wearing the same kit!

Had this on earlier when I was working on desk stuff. Overall, not particularly interesting, but she did make a good point on how lame the "social" aspect of Strava is.
Basically you're just posting activities that your friends see. Not really useful for meeting new people (RIP FlyBys) who might have similar interests.

Strava could really excel by ramping up the social aspect of their app to connect with people rather than the striving for likes or kudos which are, to me, pretty meaningless. I will continue to use the app, because it summarizes my data and keeps track of mileage and ascent, but it has a long way to go.

No truer words were ever spoken. For example, we have a filter here that, unfortunately, must weed out some very common words because they’ve been misused.

Sonatinas I think. I have a collection of various pieces accumulated over the years, but I don’t know enough to categorize them. I could of taken music appreciation 101 more seriously for sure.

Oh so true. My ‘followers’ are mostly gravel, mountain bikers and four road bikers. I could care less about the gravel and mountain aspects and getting kudos, which seems like a robotic act rather than handing them out for real accomplishments. I too would like to meet fellow, or fella, road bikers near me that run about my pace and distance. I have looked at the leaderboards to see speeds on segments that look like mine and then look up on the app if they are local - but all you can do is Follow them. I have sent a couple of requests out based on this and the people are now living out of state. Plus you don’t know on a segment if they are giving it ‘their all’ or if its their normal cruising speed.

RE Adamo. Ya it's weird but my experience with TT saddles, is find the one that is the least uncomfortable. The Adamo is the least uncomfortable of the few I've tried

You are too young. We geezers remember old-timer actor Lorne Greene (of Bonanaza fame) whose last major TV role was Commander Adama on the original Battlestar Galactica TV series in the late 1970's.
