We're allowed only one person per car, unless transporting someone to the doctor, or hospital. We have a joint, socially distanced, birthday party scheduled a couple villages over. Four of us altogether, two with birthdays. I will ride plan to ride in one direction, at least. Down the same road with the Dr. Who line across it.
This could be the day. Phrantic gets the house and I successfully cross the line. Bampilot can't expect to win the first time, but I will wish him good fortune nonetheless.

Not sure if we are going to make an offer. Have to see it first. It has the lay out we want but it was used as a rental for the last 7 years so I’m not sure how I feel about that aspect.

Absolutely, but it's still interesting to me to see where I'm strong, where I'm weak, and then decide whether there's a choice between working on weaknesses or embracing the strengths. Oh, and I found the global settings - after changing/applying, it now says that I'm a sprinter. I think that's being generous, but it's closer than "all-arounder."
Oh yes, I'm just saying why the lack of the true test is frustrating. We're all stuck doing fake tests. Except for MoAlpha who has a TT, which I wish we did. And he probably doesn't even regard that as a relevant test for his purposes.
Agree completely about the need for goals, training, and competition, at least with oneself. Wife and I feel the same about sailing. It’s great to be out there, but we are always working on speed and confidence in tough conditions.

It's warm now, but the first month+ of what used to be summer was frittered away by dumb coolness and who knows how long it will last? Not a proper season. #YearWithoutSummer

Sure I do. I suck, but 20 mi. Is a good distance for me.

Temps have been down the past couple days. We are, however, in the hot zone, Covid wise. Who isn't?
