No. But there was some pre-ride angst. I signed up for the ride which had a 6:15AM start. I went to the basement 10 minutes early to allow game to update, do a spin down, etc. but could not find the power cord for the trainer. Mrs datlas is a cleaning fiend and had disconnected it and put it on a table on the other side of the room. It took a few minutes of searching to find it. I was able to join the ride but only with a minute to spare.

I got all anxious just reading this. My wife too has a obsessive need to clean and put things away.

Mine, too. In fact, I can hear the hand-vac running as I type. Considering that I just got done with breakfast, I'm sure she's cleaning after me.

Indeed, any single-syllable or single-digit temperature should automatically elicit a single syllable response: nyet!

wut. The regional chain that carries Specialized just started carrying Cervelo. Now I get to see Caledonia in the carbon. Could be dangerous.

If he says he is pudgy that probably means he has lost a lot of muscle. This happens when testosterone production drops once you get older. If I recall correctly, at around age 50 you produce about 1/3 of the testosterone you did when you were 30. The Learned doctors here could speak to this more accurately than myself.
The scale is not a good measure, the mirror is. I'm pudgy now because of the holidays. I overindulged. Sad.

b. Making a ride with a minute to spare preferably much better than having to join a couple minutes late when Zwift puts you with the fastest riders and you trying to hang on with them with no warmup whatsoever.
