Who stole the trash can? Should be in the right side of the frame

that's why I wasn't 100% sure although I've leaned my bike on that rock plenty of times.

Ya know, now that you mention it, I do think it was missing looking at the picture. I thought maybe it was just out of view but after a second look, I think you are right. Also I do think the trash can at Newman's Point (6 miles up) was removed as well. I don't remember seeing it though thinking back, that one may have been removed some time ago. Hence all the trash lining the turnout. Not that anybody there used the trash can anyway.

Hmm, I did think the pic looked somewhat different, cleaner looking. Good eye!

Now that you brought it up, I believe there are trees missing as well. Happy about that, there were some killer bees up in them trees.

Using the indoor trainer and Zwift finished the Fondo training plan and started the Grand Fondo training!!! Down a little over 20 lbs since August
12/2 - 25.1
12/4 - 17.3
12/7 - 18.1
12/9 - 30.24
12/16 - 17.96
12/17 - 21.85
12/22 - 23
12/23 - 15.65
12/24 - 30.99

MTD - 200.19
Goal - 250 - pray for me, I believe this will be the hardest month for me, it is aggressive but certainly attainable. I should make it and I feel great!!! I do think the training programs on Zwift are fun and challenging. Cannot wait to see if this indoor riding will help with real road riding.
