Kudos.
One of my friends, also named Doug, is a super mighty cyclist and is currently on day 2 of a 3 day ride from here to Boston. I believe he is doing well over 100 miles and over 10K feet of climbing per day. #MostMightDoug The first couple weeks we were doing 90-100 mile days and after the first week it was super hot. My bike was 55-60 pounds. Of course, I was 36 at that time. I was riding for 6 weeks with 2 rest days. Oh, I had Giardia for the last part of the trip. |

If they are walking among us, we will not likely know it because there is an equal opportunity that they exist in a form that we do not recognize or comprehend. A form such as VV which may be alien in nature, but which we just do not recognize as such is an example. :innocent:

I'm painfully aware of what Wordle is. There's no way to mute posts mentioning it, unfortunately.
On the road? That’s where the wind was. What do you know about Kites? |

This is what I expect will happen with Apple and the fabled Apple Car.
Software is a relatively low investment and relatively easy to scale. Hardware is much harder on both fronts, and that was before the pandemic and war. It's also slower. Even if the smart bike demand were sustained, by the time this thing was out it would be competing with an ever-larger installed base of Peloton, which would also be easier to convince non-cycling spouses for, and looks classy in a house instead of like a kid's toy. This was dumb all the way through. |
I might not even get zwift next winter. I honestly hate in doors, and the type of riding I usually do on the trainer is strictly zone 2 which I can do with the free wahoo app.
I do get pretty bad FOMO watching people on strava doing events and such but I never do them. I’m assuming the price will be even higher next year. |

The other thing is, their "Tron Bike" Smart trainer design primarily would appeal to Zwift users - who almost by definition already have a Smart trainer. I also imagine the underwhelming response they got to their reveals played a part in the decision.

Short on those in my neighborhood. I’ll write a formal complaint to my HOA. Can I use you as a reference? |

The first couple weeks we were doing 90-100 mile days and after the first week it was super hot. My bike was 55-60 pounds. Of course, I was 36 at that time. I was riding for 6 weeks with 2 rest days. Oh, I had Giardia for the last part of the trip. |

Congrats to the Atlas grad!

We are going to College Station to help the youngest move some things to a Dallas apartment since he'll be interning in the D. Poor kid will be paying for two apartments this summer.

For me the first day was the hardest. Before I learned to carry food on the bike.
I did a 9 day trip with my ex wife around Oregon. Over 600 miles and I had learned about eating by then and had no issues. She was not happy the whole time and made sure to let me know. She loved the overnight trips we used to do. We would stop at the roadside fruit vendors and gorge on strawberries fresh from the field. Stuff like that was the good stuff. |
