91A for the high today. Awaiting that big purple blob from up north. Today was/is my first day of real activity in about a week. I took a day off to rest, and it just became a habit.
Feels good to work again. One of these days I’ll get back on the bike again.

There was a place in Tacoma that made THE BEST! I'm in Flagstaff now and not sure where I'd go to find anything close. Although IHOP had some around St. Paddy's day that were surprisingly not too bad, but not great.

...nothing surprising. I don't get most stuff. 
When I ride those, it feels to me like I'm riding road. It could be just my imagination, but like I said, I don't get most stuff. 
Here is a bike that, if it went any faster for me, I would be a danger to myself and others. Not that I am not a danger to myself and others in other ways, but just not so much from cycling. Apologies for more cycling content. I will try to stick to literary references and lurking occasionally in the future.

...most places are not willing to cook their own corned beef. And personally, I prefer the beef shredded, rather than chopped. The most dismal corners of the universe do a bait and switch, where they make the stuff with canned corned beef. Which is an abomination. There's a place down in Marin, right across from the Marin Mountain Bike Museum in Fairfax, called the Hummingbird Cafe. If it's still there, post pandemic, that place served an excellent corned beef hash.

TdZ Stage 1 ride, 22nd / 268 I think. Was supposed to be an easy day.... and it mostly was! Except the climb lol (oops).
I had great legs despite a foggy brain and feeling tired from the crap sleep that our little one afforded us. Gonna go hard tomorrow - or, if the child doth permit. I should be able to slay.
Settled into group 2 after a moderately hard start, then let loose on the climb when I saw I could catch and pass a bunch of people.

It's like hitting yourself in the head with a brick - it feels really good when you stop.

It is a semi-fantastical retelling of the losses of HMS Terror and Erebus, derived from the book The Terror. They were lost attempting the Northwest Passage, and the book was written with the best research at the time. AMC then used yet newer knowledge filming the series, and brought a native actress and tweaked the script to give her lines in Inuktitut, and cleaned up the flow to where it is the rare case where I believe the series is actually better. Highly recommended if you don't mind a bit of horror. Uses a bunch of the GoT actors.
