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

Roast duck and sundry sides are on the menu for tomorrow. Mrs. rjones28 is doing the day-before-prep, as we speak.

I'm in charge of the booze.

I did an experiment, and once LPLO hits, you can't pass the page you got locked on - it hit me on 258 and I can't get to 259 OR 260 now.

Well, not now after I post this, but y'know.

Yeah, it's the Bosch.

I took it apart and looked a little more closely - the mounting plate actually is flat. Rather than a dip in the mounting plate, it's undulations at the front of the table, high and low. It was a high spot front and center that made it look like a dip in the plate.

I was feeling ambitious, so I took a metal file and a diamond stone to it and knocked down the high spots quite a bit. Still not perfect, but much better. I might pick up some more aggressive sheets of sandpaper over the weekend and flatten it on a slab of granite.

When posting after an LPLO has reached two pages, I've usually had the last page unlock while the second to last has been forever lost.

I had that happen once, locked out of one page in the evening, and still the next day. Then I checked back a couple of days later and I could finally see it.

Wow. How long do you keep it wrapped?

I'd be tempted to ride with the wrap. But more concerned of the possibility of passing out while riding!

First attempt at intervals tonight. After the third one I felt like I was going to throw up. More room for Thanksgiving!

Today I rode with people on gravel bikes for the first time. Their loop was 42 miles with 6500 feet of climbing, just brutal. My friend and I turned back after 10 miles of climbing. They are are double century riders including a woman who had (has?) the record for the most doubles in California. 3 of us were on mountain bikes and 3 on cf gravel bikes and 1 on an e-bike. The gravel bikes are faster on the smooth climbs, for sure, but they bounce off loose rocks and plow a bit in soft sand.

They did seem to adjust to the rocks and got smoother as we went up. I was glad to have the mtb for the descent. I don't know if I would get a gravel bike after this, maybe more research is in order.

Three mins on, one min off. I didn’t have a lot of time tonight and just wanted to see what it was like. Basically every ride I have done no matter if I think it’s hard or easy it seems my speed/ effort is alway the same. Trying to break that up. With that being said, I don’t seem to be able to judge what my “hard” effort is. Tonight I pushed it and my heart rate was higher than I ever remember before on a bike, and at the end of each three mins I was ready to stop. Probably went too hard.

it would be appreciated since to the best of my recollection, you have never posted a picture of a bear stuck in a tree. Thus, content quality would improve.
