I was thinking of doing 33 miles today, but that might be ramping up too quickly, plus it got awfully hot and windy, so 22 miles will have to do.

Absolutely. Races and concerts will be right there with stadium audiences as the last things to open up.

With a test ride, too!
I will say, overall I find vintage bikes to be quite charming.
What is not charming is having to take off brake levers and unwrap/rewrap handlebar tape just to do something as small as changing your stem length

Oh and yes, the anxiety reduction is indeed about the exercise (hard exercise specifically) reducing general anxiety, not a case of anxiety over athletic performance being cured by adequate training. Though that pops up occasionally before an event.

Years ago when I cracked a quill stem I found it was stuck when I tried to replace it. I wailed on it with a claw hammer for a while before it came out.

BTW, if you guys want to really feel superior to tri geeks, now is the time. ST has far more clueless, ignorant, negligent-mass-murderers than the 41. It's shocking.

Over the last few years I've become a fan of the Quaker Friends Overseas Service. First, some time ago I learned Quakers were instrumental during the 1800s in England in freeing slaves in the West Indies. Then, after reading several books by a Quaker woman named Lady Borton, who worked for the Quaker Overseas Service, and who did much work to help Vietnames boat people in Asia who were robbed, beat and *****, back in those terrible times, only increased my regard. Furthermore, when Japanese Americans were held in confinement during WWII, Quakers sent them Gifts at Christmas. To this day Japanese Americans lend financial support to Quaker charities. I also very much like that Quakers are not in the business of fund raising. You don't see their glossie ads for donations. What they undertake is mostly with their own money. They truly live according to their beliefs.

Wooohoo.
NBD!
New beer day, that is. Don't remember my last 15-pack Oskar Blues sampler having this one.
Grade-A recovery beer right there!

I was going to add earlier and forgot. I think it has something to do with satisfying the fight or flight response.

Maybe. AG has been doing a ton of reading and among other things, sweating in and of itself is therapeutic. Which may explain at least part of why we're both heat-bugs.

Annoys me when people dawdle in grocery stores these day. I want to get in and out as quickly as possible.

Or the only lines open are the self checkout where the scanners never seem to work properly.

Is this beerforums.net?
In a related matter, my college friend had a small scale brewery in Baltimore about 10 years ago, it was apparently good beer but life changes made him close.
Last I heard, he was planning to move the whole shuttered operation to Atlanta and restart it. That was pre-COVID19, however.
