My wife has informed me that she wants to try to ride her upright this morning. Due to the heat, I know it will be short but I also know that she'll probably be in tearful pain before the ride is over. Personally, I'd give up if I were her as far as riding a regular bike. She just can't give up on nearly 40 years of road bike cycling.
Time to pump tires.

So I look to finally get an Instagram account.
I try the option to sign in using Facebook. It proceeds to give me a screen with my email address already in the screen. I enter my FB password and get this:
I know I don't have an account, that's why I'm there. When I tried to create a new account using the same email address it won't let me use it.

What a pleasant morning. 70s. Low humidity. After participating in an 8 am conference call while home I took a ride to Reading Terminal, which is a giant, indoor farm market and food court-type place. Scored a while pompano and some sweet corn from PA Dutch country.
Too bad I am now in the office.

100+ here again today. I'm meeting some other people who don't work and we are going up to 7000 feet again. Nice up there.

My wife managed a 21 mile ride relatively pain free at a sedate 15.2 mph. Humidity held off a little till we got home.

Add in some 2" PVC and some lumber yet to be scared up, and the rollers project will get underway.
I've finally figured out how to upload pics to bf. Email them to myself and download from there. Then upload. Seems to be the only way. I have no download option from my gallery

I neither FaceBook nor Instagram. The only social media I participate in are Strava and BF. I used to be on a Physicians only site (Sermo) but the admins ruined it about a year ago and I voted with my feet.

Yup. I love to climb. My friend had us skip the nastiest hill since he fears anything over 8%. But it’s so hilly around here, even a flat route is going to have 50 feet/mile unless you go on the dreaded MUPs, which is really dumb most of the time.

Even I like a little bit of climbing - the end of my last 200k was dreadfully flat and I was looking for any excuse to get out of the saddle just to get my body in a different position and give my sit bones a break.
