You gotta figure that at least 20 seconds of Vingegaards advantage over Pogacar was the lack of a bike switch - slow to stop, dismount, get on new bike, clip in, get back up to speed. And Vingegaard actually GAINED over a minute on Pogacar from the base of the climb to the finish - on a TT bike.

We had a good ride. It was a smidge faster than ideal so I felt a bit like puking on a couple of the climbs. But with no rider left behind and a group of 16 with diverse goals, it was still a great ride.
After the ride, mrs datlas and I had a bento box lunch date at a local restaurant. We ate outside.
A few feet from us, a 40-ish year old woman and (her son?) 10-ish year old boy sat down. I heard the waitress ask “how are you today” and the woman answered loudly I am having a ******g bad day and I am about to lose my ******g job….” I didn’t say anything but felt like saying maybe her potty mouth in front of a young child is why she lost her effing job.
As you know, I have no problem with judicious use of profanity but on a downtown sidewalk with lots of people around and a young kid? I have a ******g problem with that.

There was a gravel tri here and one guy used a tri bike on skinny tires. That stunned even me.

For fun, you can see the pic below at the link below. The description says it would be "tricky" but there's the pic.

One of my cycling club mates is doing the Mt Washington hillclimb this weekend. It’s a nasty climb, hard enough that even I have no desire to ever do it. He has done it twice before, and he is hoping to win his AG. I think he is in his late 60’s and can certainly climb as well or a bit better than me, so maybe he has a chance. Stay tuned.

Seems like it must not get ridden much outside of the event

I saw some bodybuilding bro the other day say that as far as carbs go, taters are better for keeping your weight down as they fill you up so you don't overeat. Eat any of the other carbs in your list and you ain't gonna look ripped anymore.

Carbs are fine in moderation but the American diet typically has too much. The simple carbs like HFCS and sugar are especially bad when not exercising. On the bike, a different story and eat them sugars as much as you like. Off the bike, just say no whenever possible.

I will stick with Whiteface, it’s not as nasty (8 miles at 8%) but can be ridden anytime and long/steep enough for me.

Baltimore is a bit far to go from Rockville, though.
