Yup.
Yeah, I got out for a quick ride today. Stiff and steady winds. Had to put it in the Granny Ring when I had headwinds - that's always fun.

He hasn't been in too much discomfort yet, though they anticipate that that will change.
When we received the news, my initial thought was that my wife would be going to VA while I stayed back with the kids.
The boy was adamant even though I told him that it would be hard to witness and that his grandpa would be in even rougher shape than only a couple weeks earlier. Poor kid has had a crash course with death lately, losing three pets over two years, and now his grandpa.
Then the wife pipes up and says that she'd really like me to come, too, because it would be a trying time for her. So yeah, since I couldn't leave the three year old behind, that made all of us.

My grandmother (my one remaining grandparent...) is currently in ortho rehab from breaking her femur so bad last week that her xray looks like scaffolding. She'll be ok though, at least.

How kind of you to ask!
A little achy, mainly in the glutes. I didn't test them on the ride in, but they felt pretty much okay. No time for a workout this evening, but I expect I'll notice something tomorrow a.m., when I get on the trainer. Will do my next session of legs on Sunday, but I'll be out of town and won't ride again until Tuesday. I am so freakin' weak, I really need this.

If not those, I'd probably pick up some Praxis.

I think with your quality parenting, all should go well. We've had a rough time of it ourselves in the recent past. My girl will be turning 8 soon, but it's been hard on her. All the best to you and your family in this hard time.

How are those Rotor chainrings? I saw your mention in the other thread. I'm eventually going to need something on my P2M, and since the cranks are Rotors... Anyway, the NoQ have a nice, classic 5-arm look. Not sure I'd want the aero.
If not those, I'd probably pick up some Praxis.

I don't really trust the front shifting on either bike, but that's mostly about not trusting any of my mechanics. I think I've had one guy properly tune a bike in my riding career.

fun question of the day, how do you keep your sun glasses from fogging you when wearing a face mask? They fogged up every time I looked over my shoulder for cars which defeated the purpose of looking over my shoulder for cars.
And Whyfi if you brought a bike and want to ride at all let me know. I’ll be out of town til thursday though.

I use one of these, if you get one it will quickly become a favorite - https://www.icebreaker.com/en-us/wom...te/100962.html
Glasses will still fog up if it's really cold and you have it pulled up over your nostrils... just don't pull it up over your nostrils. Most of the time I just wear it on my neck - it helps a lot. If it's cold, I'll cover my mouth. If it's really cold I'll stay inside.

I made a Zwift “meetup” group ride for tomorrow since we are expecting snow and roads will be unsafe. I posted at an easy Z2 (for me) 2.0 W/Kg. So far only 3 riders are coming. One of my friends is a more serious cyclist and said my ride will be too slow, so he posted one for 2.5-3.0 W/Kg.

I can live without it. I think I went to Applebee’s once about 10 years ago and no urge to return.
