Addiction 2024.2
Ironically neither one of these two NC powerhouses are even IN the Final Four, but their little crosstown buddy NC State is, and they've already upset three higher ranked opponents to get here. So who's next?

I can confirm, there are palm trees in Detroit that are alive and well.

At least we know he's not a robot (or that's what they say...).
Joking aside, I wish him a speedy recovery. Crashes are never something we want to see in cycling.

Been in DC with the kids since last Friday. We had an amazing time and my wife did an exceptional job of planning everything.
We hit all of the monuments, spent half a day in Arlington, 5 hours in the Holocaust museum, a full day at the museum of natural history. Toured the capital, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, National Archives. We had amazing meals and really enjoyed it. No bike riding was done, but we walked about 50 miles over the week.

This isn't us, just an example of "the family plan"

You should have come down to Willyburg and checked out the sights. Even have bikes for you too ride.

We're staying with family at a location that is technically in the path of totality, but on the western edge so only about 90 seconds of complete obscuration. If we drive an hour or two east we will be able to get the entire 4 minutes or so which I think is about double what we saw in 2017. I think my family is a little confused as to why we would drive somewhere different, but the next one that crosses the CONUS isn't until 2045 so I'm not going to miss out on an extra 3+ minutes if at all possible.

Rainy again in San Diego. Onto the trainer I go! Just an easy ride today. The Thursday night "world champs" ride was a success, I'm actually glad I went. Windy weather and threat of rain kept the cars off the island I guess. I managed to avoid undue car traffic on the island and get away from the primary group pretty early on.
After some chaos at first, a break of three emerged, which later ballooned up to 5. We stayed away pretty easily and then started attacking each other later on. Did way more than my share of the work. Box checked, now I can skip that ride again until next year ,
breakaway portion. weighed in at 144 lbs / 65 kg that morning

I will say - if I had to vote between doing that hammer ride last night and easy this morning VS riding my new MTB last night and doing some zwift racing this morning, I'd say it's about a wash. So the best possible outcome . It was always going to be a "less than or equal to" situation, and as I rode down there after work, I was this ----||---- close to just turning around and hopping on my new MTB
