I was worried that would happen. As much as I wanted the Niners to win, I will admit that he is an excellent quarterback and a likeable guy.

After doing the Innsbruck KOM on Friday, I felt pretty good about my climbing legs, like the miles IRL and ITG, combined with doing climbs fairly often ITG was working. So yesterday I decided to add a little climbing to my Sunday long ride. I climbed Kings Mountain as far as the Huddart Park entrance, about 1.4 miles at an average of 6.9%. I was on the Litespeed, so the lowest I had was 39x32, but it was, if not easy, at least comfortable. Yes, I do have at least SOME climbing legs.
Descending, however, was another matter. The descent is narrow and twisty, and of course, also average 6.9%. I have not doing technical descents hardly at all the last few years, so I'm completely uncomfortable on them. It's like starting fresh - I have to THINK what to do instead of it just flowing. According to Strava, this was my fastest ASCENT of that segment among 5 times but the slowest DESCENT! I figure I'll just keep working on it. I was never a fast, confident descender, but I was never THIS bad! Well, maybe the first time, back when I was on the hard-riding Cannondale.

Lol I was all over the place on my mountain bike on Saturday but ended up setting a PR on a very fast descent. That explains why it felt so scary, I was handling the bike like crap but going faster than I ever had before

I felt the decision to throw a pass on the 3rd down play, (before the 49ers last field goal) was dumb. If they had run instead they could have burned more clock or at least forced KC to use a timeout. Would that have stopped Mahomes? Maybe not but it might have made it harder for KC to tie the game.
Of course, if the pass had been completed that might have iced the game.

He’s really likeable and down to earth, rare for a superstar.
