yeah, I might argue that, except for the fact that the guy is a strong rider that lives near here. Back when I was riding more and more fit, I was eyeing some KOM's on a regular route and then one day this guy came in and snagged them all! So I've been peeping his rides every now and again. It's a legit effort. There's a short, steep hill right at the end but most of the segment is the up/down lead in that is preceded by a long-ish mostly downhill section. If you had massive tailwind guads and headed down that road, you'd be going at a good clip and have enough momentum to punch up the "climb" rather quick.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Yesterday I learned an interesting fact: At McDonalds, extra lettuce on a chicken sandwich will cost you 25 cents.

We've got so much water in the Valley right now that we're thinking about giving some to DougRNS and his buddies.
Nah.

I snuck in a little ride today on a beautiful Feb day. Then did dog stuff with the dogz. Nosework practice followed by free style crittering.

Calcium Oxalate, urate and cysteine stones cannot be dissolved.
In a cat, it’s 50-70% of the time calcium oxalate stones, around 30-40% of the time it’s struvite.
