Nope. Rpenmankr (or whatever) gone also.
I guess you heard about Pcad.

I’m definitely drinking more (water)
the initial pain was so intense I passed out - at a restaurant where we had stopped after a short Friday after-work bike ride … came to laying on the floor of the restaurant with EMTs staring at me
I was actually relieved when I was diagnosed with a kidney stone (whew - thought it was going to be something extra serious) - and learned they are fairly common
unfortunately it was 8+ weeks until the stone passed … and had two separate bouts with excruciating pain during the last two weeks
I do stay fairly hydrated on the bike - sorta / kinda - typically around 22 ounces per 10 miles - but fall short other times … I’m carrying too much weight (gentle way of stating I’m fat ) - lost 30 or so lbs in the past two years - but still sweat profusely and need to increase the water intake
plus - apparently a recent diet / nutrition change could also be a contributing factor …(?) … increase in leafy green vegs / salads, berries, nuts, calcium … I saved the expelled kidney stone so it could be analyzed - but have not submitted it (yet)

I’m debating about getting a bike friday folding road bike. Going to the bus I will have the room to bring the ritchey, but the issue is the size of the case while walking through the airport. There is no good way to attach it to my bags. My current case doesn’t have wheels but that really wouldn’t solve the problem. Since I ride a 58 there isn’t enough room in the case for me to put all my gear, and my suitcase is already pretty full.
Any of y’all ever ride one?

There is a cyclist who rode with our club about 10 years ago, but then moved to DC. I still follow her on Strava. She has done some epic rides, and just posted this climb up Las Letras in Colombia (I believe it’s the longest climb in the world). It’s certainly on my bucket list.

On the different regions note, I just paid property taxes on two properties, one of which has our house on it, the other empty. US$15.

He was killed by a motor vehicle while biking near his neighborhood. The entire forum, past and present, grieved. Two or three years ago.

At least you’re going to reach zero today.

should have qualified that - 22 oz per 10 miles on a summer / relatively hot day ride
example - 35-40 mile ride (bike / ride pictured above) - early August 84 degrees humid (rode through two brief drizzles)
carried two 22 oz bottles - emptied the bottles just after the midway point - filled them (convenience store in a little town) and emptied the bottles just before end of ride … 88 oz
and drank maybe 4 - 6 oz or so on the drive to the beginning of the ride … and maybe 4 - 8 oz on the drive home
