Measurable, but I'd be surprised if you felt it. It's on the order of the marginal gains you'd rather have in your favor, but not game-changers. A couple of watts for the pair.

Well, the working title is something along the lines of, "What the hell did I decide to put myself through this for?" But my advisor didn't like that so much.
In the end it will formally be titled, "Polio virus: A Retrospective Study of the Polio Eradication Program in Pakistan."

Speaking of which, I have a medical mystery. Maybe you've seen this?
If you draw a dot an inch or two above the outside corner of my kneecap, that would be about the center of an orange-sized bald patch I have on both legs. I speculate that hair loss may be caused by ever present inflammation (I can't think of an alternative explanation). But why only on the outside half above the knee, I still have hair on the inside half?
Any theory on what's going on?

I have smaller but similar bald patches there, with no knee inflammation. I always figured it was from rubbing against jeans, but I've barely worn those in years, so it's either permanent or just a place hair follicles have trouble with. Maybe there's not enough bloodflow there?

Huh. Maybe MoAlpha is right?
I do wish I could just get that gene-expression-blah-blah-blah extended and grow no hair. I'd swim faster and get fewer ingrowns.
And I'd have an excuse to be bald without feeling like a skinhead.

Oh, is that what's going on? After not shopping there for a few years, I noticed that Ribble didn't have much besides bikes and apparel. I ordered my tires from CR, btw; they had a $20 off of $100 promo for newly registered customers.

Question about recovery. I have started to throw a couple longer rides into the mix and I am noticing that after the longer rides my legs feel weak for days after. More specifically my quads feel weak, and only when I ride my bike. I did 50 miles on wed, took yesterday off and rode again today, and just didn’t feel the power that I usually feel. My quads felt fatigued. This is puzzling because when I do shorter rides 20 to 30 I’m usually cranking really hard, trying to go as fast I can vs the longer rides where I’m taking it easy.
Anything I can do to speed up the recovery time? I try to eat a lot of protein, but I’m currently not using any supplements.

I've had a constant headache since yesterday, slight sinus pressure and need to constantly pop my ears, and this morning I woke up with a swollen lymph node in my neck.
I'm going to be very disappointed if I'm sick this weekend. Supposed to be 45° and sunny on Sunday!

This is one of those days that my coach gives a swim and a bike, so no running. Bah.
