Under 3 min is probably where I'm at my best.

Just a curiosity - anybody else notice that Strava's maps seem to have a thing for mobile home parks? Whenever I looking at a Strava map that's outside of a metro area, mobile home parks seem to get a lot of love.

Thanks again, All! She's a doll, and Georgia-Mae is pretty OK with her already!
3 tries to land, tonight. Wind shear on the first two, so I got to witness some fighter pilot elevation gain in an Airbus 320

I've put 2112 miles on my Trek since I bought it in early 2019. Nothing to really brag about, but it's an excuse to listen to this:

Under 3 min is probably where I'm at my best.

Temp in mid-90s today so I'm going to try a headwind ride. Wife is going to drop me off 30 miles from home on the way to her doc appointment.
May feel like a 30 mile interval
Maybe not, plan on just spinning along and it is going to be fairly flat.

Oh, wait, that's miles. My reading is not fundamental.

Based on WhyFi 's recommendation, I'm going to do my first ride on my newly mounted Schwalbe Pro1 Addix TLE tires. Looking forward to it.

I never saw Trek fans called "Trekkies" before until a recent posting. I somehow never drew the connection between the bike brand and the Sci-Fi franchise.

....but this wifi person is going to eventually log in and wonder why people are tagging him/her.
Oh, and Addix. Axxis sounds a little... wrong side of WWII, if you know what I mean.

Why wouldn’t the 170 mile ride happen?
