I've even started to come around on that chicory flavoured stuff a bit.
I even kinda like this instant chicory coffee to some extent.

I haven't made a bad choice yet, but the Super Monk Blend is amazing. Dark Brazil, Midnight Vigils, Hermits Bold Blend, Espresso... All good.

A first on my workout today. A bee flew into my mouth. I spat it out and it stung my arm.

I think I know what I need to do regarding my bike fit. I measured the distance from the nose of the saddle to the front of the bars and it is about two inches shorter on the new bike. The seat post on the new bike does not have any setback and the old one has about 2 inches.
Cannondale uses an odd 25.4 mm size seatpost but I found this (see below) which has about 1.2 inches of set back.
That is probably enough since I find myself positioning my hands back a bit after initially stretched all the way out on the hoods.
My old seat post was crabon that came with the bike.
Any thoughts or recommendations, which I anticipate will be sincere and helpful in the BF tradition.
Note: I don't have freakishly long arms or torso.

I hate getting stung. Those yellow jacket wasps are the worst. They can sting repeatedly unlike bees which can only sting once. They are also quite aggressive and sting at will. About 5 years ago one got under my jersey towards the end of a ride and stung me several times. A few minutes later I went into anaphylaxis which was quite unpleasant.

Set your saddle position independently of your distance to the bars. I'm not saying you don't need to change the seatpost, but sort out the setback and fore-aft position of the saddle to optimize your pedaling. Then, use stem length, angle, etc... to sort out distance to the handlebars.

@datlas is a wise man. I found a good price on the KICKR Snap and bought it.

I have nowhere to go on saddle position in my view. The height seems dead on after riding it all week and it is all the way back on the rails. If i get more set back and move the seat back on the rails I will have what I am looking for. Yes, I might not be in the ideal KOPS position but that is how I have been riding for >15 years.
I rode the old bike and can tell that the position flattens me out by rolling my hips forward and balancing on the perenium and the sit bones equally. Right now I am more upright and on the sit bones mostly and cramped in the reach.
Ok, maybe i do have freakishly long arms.

You have a nice bike, and that seatpost looks like it belongs on a mountain bike, at bare minimum. Nice bikes don't deserve a club for a seatpost.

Mine pairs to my MacBook with zero issues. Next time weather sucks or you are bored, sign up for 30 day free trial of Zwift. The Zwift user interface is not so intuitive but worth it once you know how.
