Addiction LXXVIII

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't know who or what you are talking about, but sadly the United States (or at least this state) is not stuck in DST. I wish it were!

Clearly, you have not read LoP’s post that was quoted in the first post you’ve quoted.

No, but the original awesome shovel isn't a very good musical instrument. But neither is the Fluglehorn.

I *know* that I've seen some BF kit (yeah, I said it ) and I'm pretty sure that I've seen some 41 kit, but it's been a while and I can't remember how I stumbled across it...

Nossir. You did well.

Today was pretty hard. Last week, the like ride was 1.5 hours of Z1. This one was about half an hour. That's a lot of pedaling. (peddling)

All this musical instrument heat is over my head. Must be like if WhyFi and I got into roast mode with each other over knife steels.

I'll see what I can come up with next month in all the humidity.

Maybe I'll ride to Reno, even though the big event is canceled this year

Sound plan! Since Saturday is one week and Sunday is the next week, I shouldn't have any fatigue issues, amiright?

BTW, I unintentionally misled you about the MLB at bat app for mobile. It is $29/year for all out of market games. This means you could watch every team but the Snakes. That is not such a bad thing...
