I have very little sense of control in my life, so I takes what I can gets.

best of wishes with the surgery, our former benevolent overlord @gsteinb

i wish i had known about those exercise mats. Would have bought a whole bunch of them and placed it over the carpeting in my studio. The carpet has been irreparably stained with bike grease... Otoh, i foresee the need of maybe 15-20 2' x 2' pieces, which may end up costing more than the security deposit...

Any of you guys exercise on NSAIDs? The googles say not to, so I usually don't, but sometimes I do.



my kid: "ow! you hit me on the head with your nerf ***!"


neighbor kid: "oh stop complaining"

my kid: "but my head hurts!"

neighbor kid: "you're probably just dehydrated"
I've done a lot of training on NSAIDs when I was trying to train and come back from an injury at the same time. I've never had any issues. Though sometimes the workout seems a bit easier.

No surgery. It's just an appointment to have an old surgery looked at. Thanks, but calm down.

This is where the circle closes and communists meet libertarians.


Now, back to bike racing:

I have done quite a bit of cross country classic skiing including skiing in the Finnish lapland north of the arctic circle. My skiing has been limited to tracked trails and although aerobic, not technically difficult. However, I have tried skate skiing and took a lesson a couple of years ago in Park City, UT. It was very hard technically and aerobically. I can do it but it is pretty pitiful.

Near Deer Valley, UT, there is a biathlon course built for the Olympics. My wife and I scheduled a session there where you ski and shoot. We never did it due to snow and poor visibility but it is on our list. Maybe this will be the year.
