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

Anyway, over the last couple weeks, he's really gotten in to baking, making things like layer cakes the diameter of a quarter and chocolate chip cookies smaller than a dime (side note: the messes he's made in the kitchen have been decidedly *not* tiny). Today, emboldened by his tiny baking, he asked to bake full-sized chocolate chip cookies with his mom. She told him that they could after little sister's nap time, etc. Well, he got impatient and took it upon himself to get out the ingredients. Then he decided to measure them out while still waiting. And then, why not mix 'em up? By the time my wife showed up, he had balls of cookie dough on the baking sheets, waiting to go in to the pre-heated oven.

And the cookies? Pretty damn good. If this continues, I may have been a little hasty in celebrating my winter austerity.
Curious what he does about the eggs.

Yeah. It's basing that off of HR and stated FTP. Cool for someone with power on some bikes, but not others, but not as useful for someone without power/HR response baseline

Scrambles one egg and measures little scoops. He'll keep the scrambled egg in a sealed container in the fridge so that he can use it over a couple days/recipes.

That's far more reasonable, and therefore less interesting, than what I imagined....

Eh, that's not that bad. Most manufacturers recommend 5mm minimum above the stem, anyway.

I put in an estimated ftp of 175. I think it’s using that plus my heart rate data to determine.

That's a great price, I think. If I wasn't thinking about more shop purchases, I'd be tempted to get one for the Haanjo.

I would assume so. When you have two, they typically have a slave/master deal going on, so one PM reports to the other and then that one communicates to your computer. You just need to set them up properly.

I see the score, but I'm not watching the game. Had Diggs had a sideline hissy-fit yet?

What I need is a power meter incorporated into shoes or cleats. I'm tempted by the left-side R7000 105 PM at $300, but that leaves 3 bikes without, and I don't imagine Stages will be introducing a Dura Ace 7410 left-side PM any time soon, or a 2006 Chorus one, either.

Specifically, why one would "invest" in the cryptocurrency versus Bitcoin.

I was worried you were pegging it and doing nothing other than riding your brains out. Soon, you would have your bike for sale, and likely start throwing rocks at most cyclists you saw.

That looks entirely normal, and you're doing well.

Ha. I just like to game... but I haven't had much time or energy for it lately. Now that I think about it, I bought a new, pretty decent GPU last year and I don't think that I've played one graphically demanding game on the system, since. I've played a couple of older games, but nothing to make use of the ponies under the hood.

You know that you're not going to find a perfect solution, so just go with a good solution.
