Is it possible that I am still recovering from last weeks long ride? My legs are heavy, feel tired and have zero power. If this is what getting old feels like I am not a fan.

FFS, we'd better have a move towards sanity come the fall.

One of my cat sitters is coming at 5 to trim buddy’s nails. I don’t have the nerve to try.

No one wants that, but it's likely going to be necessary.

A month ago, we were planning to go out to LA to get my daughter ready to attend her freshman year at USC. Now I am thinking it's more likely she will be taking her classes from home. But it's still TBA.

It's funny how anything shallower than a 404 looks shallow to me now though.

Maybe when Shimano's 12 speed finally drops I can take the Trek to 11 somewhat affordably.

Come to S. Jersey, eastern Delaware or eastern Maryland. The downside is no coasting down hills. I sometimes lead a 75 ride in Jersey. People underestimate its difficulty because of the terrain. But with few traffic control devices and no real climbs, you are constantly pedaling, and the wind can be a factor as well.
