Thats far to ideal. You need to lower your blinds so you suffer a little.

44 miles, & upped the intensity by putting the fan on max speed, direct non oscillating & 1" closer. Living a risky life I tell ya.

Probably about one mile. Just got the tires up and going,and I had other stuff to do so mostly 'make sure it shifts and rolls good.

Still nice.

It was cold and snowy here, so I did an 18.5 mile, 1650ft elevation climb on Zwift. I guess that counts.

I'd say it counts. Glad you were able to get a ride in even though it was virtual.

Only 16 but 1 hour better than none. Just got back in SoCal and by the time I goto home in Temecula and got bike ready to roll, had approx 1 hour of light. Was good to get a start seeing this new area. Also got in over 1K' in that hour
