For sure. It'll be interesting to see how Paselas behave to compared the Maxxis tires I've been running. I would think the Paselas aren't quite as supple and forgiving despite similar TPI.

Today I pedaled my Surly 20 miles for the second consecutive day. (Haven't been on a bike for 4.5 years.)

Switched from 48/15 to 48/16.
That one little cog tooth made all the difference--suddenly I feel like the fastest person on earth, and wind/hills now feel like invigorating challenges rather than demoralizing impediments.
The tiny bit of spinout under ideal conditions is well worth the reward on the other side, especially with winter winds picking up along the river.

Today is day 3 of no heat in my apartment building.
Temp outside: 29°F
Temp inside: 57°F and has dropped each day
Called office this morning. They emailed us Saturday am about it. They don't know when it will be fixed, they said they are trying, but with the holiday coming up they don't know when it will be fixed. Wat?

Ate well the night before, went to bed early, hydrated the next morning, ate lots of breakfast, got to the start early.... and my jerseys were draped over the dining room chair at home.

Well, it looks like they got it up and running for now. I called the township rental housing department and asked them to investigate. Slowly warming up in here, up to about 64°F now. Slept in wool socks and a buff last night. Must have looked effin hilarious.

Went out for a little FG road ride. Passed this one dude on a road bike who was looking a little bonkish, and he hopped on my wheel and drafted for a while. After about 5 miles he pulls up and says "Thanks a lot man, I really needed that." Pulling roadie bros on track bikes FTW.

Anyway, I shouldn't let it bother me. You sound a lot cooler than I am.
*Plus, I've never had anyone offer to switch places. I wouldn't accept, but it would show a nice bit of awareness.

Ugh, that's one of my pet peeves. I'm out trying to enjoy a nice ride, and some full-aero bro sits on my ass for miles. I don't mind that he's freeloading* exactly (although it is pretty ridiculous, since I'm most likely sporting a riser bar, sneakers, jeans, and a big backpack, while he's decked out down to the aero shoe covers), but I find it obnoxious to have someone I don't know and who didn't introduce himself sneak up on my rear wheel and stay there. Plus, although we're both on bicycles, we're really doing different things--he's keeping his cadence and popping his energy gels and booking his miles, and I'm just trying to ride my damn bike--and I don't appreciate being co-opted into his world.

What really gets my goat is people who pass super close without saying anything.

Certainly not the ultra, right? <shudder>
That should be super nice running weather. I wish you well. They have some nice running plans at coolrunning.com.
I did Marine Corps in 2006. No one can ever take that away from me. Zero regret.

Yeah I'm registered for the marathon, but I'm hoping training goes well so that I can upgrade my reg to the 50k, which is technically an ultra. Definitely wont be ready for the 50 mile in 6months though, or will I?

Happy thanksgiving everyone. Hope you all get some good eating and riding in.
I'll be doing an easy 60-90 min on the mtb today, and then 5 hr road rides on F and S, both surrounding group rides.

No riding for me today but I did make an all-vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner with mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, gravy, a tofu-turkey-esque thing, and a pumpkin pie.

never "correct" your data on strava, unless you want roughly estimated info, and less elevation
strava takes the (highly inaccurate) elevation info based on gps. the data from your garmin is always gonna be more accurate because it uses its built in barometric altimeter
