This is like saying it looks like a snowy winter when we get 0.25" by December 15. #GoldenSnowball

Survival is my goal for 2021.
A podium would be nice too.

I messed something up when I put new chain on. Shifted PEFFECTLY in the stand. But on the road was finicky, would not downshift properly, I had to click twice down then one up to shift, which is only a minor annoyance. But chain would also “stutter” under severe load like when standing in hills. So I sat for entire ride. There could be a slightly sticky or twisted link on new chain. So far all I checked was indexing back in stand and of course now works perfectly. I am open to suggestions.
I prefer to trash the entire drivetrain and replace it all at once, at least that's what I did when I was working.

I was watching a concert on the trainer tonight and got to thinking about this:
Encores at live music performances - yea or nay?

New hoops are laced, straightened and tensioned. They came out pretty nice.

Back in the day they were spontaneous based on the crowd reaction and enthusiasm. Now they are choreographed, and typically the same from show to show.

My son is a power lifter and has a goal of both squatting and dead lifting 600#. He is currently at 580 and change. He’s 43.

Watching those guys is scary and fascinating all at once. Getting to that kind of weight is dedication magnified. I bet it takes about an hour warm-up for that minute of lifting. Major kudos.
