Sadly, Benson is too big for my basket.

How are your windmills holding up?

The legend reads: "Less than 0.0".

If he ceases transmissions for several days, we'll know why.

That is the problem with that map. It makes no distinction between 1 person leaving and EVERYONE leaving.

In America, we only care about growth.

When I was younger, air conditioning was pretty rare, but nowadays everyone's got it, so the South is more liveable - warmer winters and all that. But with climate change, hot summers will become REALLY hot summers, so I wonder whether we'll see the population shifting North again.

Siberia is poised to be one of the most livable places on earth, so it is said.

It rarely records a complete ride.

Maybe people here don't get maps, either. That would explain some things.

Don’t get snotty. It’s a faulty map you presented, so … you know … not quality.

I agree. The map says “Percent change in county population.”

If a county has 100 residents and 10 leave, that’s a 10% change. If 10 move in it’s a 10% change.

The author of the map should have his tenure revoked if he can’t write a more accurate title. SMH.

No. That map is fine. Ask the ******g experts.

Map of people who piss me off, by state.

A properly done legend. Velo Vol could take notes one selecting actually informative maps.

You just need to get a bakfiets or a dog trike for Benson. She'll appreciate it.

Nonononono.... That was a fine map. The legend was as clear can be. People are piping up hours later stating that fact.

Yes, the one you're showing is clear and concise, as was mentioned earlier, but that doesn't much matter.

We got a trailer for her. She'll start using it in the spring.

It is beautiful here today, it always is after a good rain. High of 55, light winds, clear sky, and snow on the mountains in the distance. Got out for almost 3 hours of bike path spinning. One branch of the path was gated due to dirt and sand built up from high water last week. I hopped the gate and slogged through because I wanted to go that way.

On my way back a woman riding by saw me at the gate and she stopped to ask if I needed help, I guess getting my bike over the gate? Did I look frail? I'm sure she was just being nice, I shouldn't complain. Anyway she took off and I was going the same way. She was a strong rider, she could have lifted my bike over the gate, I'm sure.

That's one way to say it. Wink wink.
Bonus points for zero map content.

None of it much mattered from the beginning, did it.

I just did a test ride and it did just fine, (this time).

Note the real, outdoors January miles, you Zwift softies.
