I think it's great - I don't need pockets for my keys anymore.
The only key I need anymore is the one for the bike rack locks. Seems Kuat can't get with the program. |

Oh. SS is building a nice bike system, and there's that massive system in NYS. It's cold, but I've dealt with that before. Would definitely need a full-bore trainer system. Mainly just the addition of a big rocker plate.

Yeah, maybe if they took the microchip out of the vaccine and gave free tinfoil hats with each shot, they would have more success.
Sadly I can't prove that the vaccine won't cause people to grow antlers five years from now. |

I don't have details on that, but by report the vast majority of those hospitalized are un-vaxxed.
Winter is coming. |

Man, in the politics forum of another site there sure is a lot of fussing about the vaccine. One poster is even a doctor, allegedly.

My vaccine microchip doesn't seem to be communicating with the smart lock on my front door, so I'll have continue sticking my keys to my forehead, at least until I get another shot with a fully functional 5g chip.

We were considering Austin once the kids move to college, but after looking at the real estate prices decided maybe to check out other cities. We still have the house in Marblehead that we'll unload when we move for a good penny, but I'm not really interested in paying a million bucks for a house in the city that's 900SF.

That is not the correct answer.
Then I would only be down to one bike, which is absurd, and when I got another bike I would only be at 2 bikes. Creaky BB is a problem with the BB not the bike right? Really sad if my china wheels lived longer than my cervelo frame, just saying.

In light of the winter storm aftermath, and other things that can’t be discussed here, currently seems more likely than not that we’ll be leaving the nation of Texas next year. Raleigh and Saratoga Springs are the current front-runners.

On the opposite end, I set a new 20 min mark for myself this morning. Sadly, it's below my FTP estimate; it'd be nice be closer to more open roads and have fewer interruptions to efforts. |

I signed up for this the other day, looks like it's going to be a good time:
https://www.peachamfallfondo.com/ also have a 66 miler with 6K on 8/15, it's something like 90% gravel. Better replace those gravel kings soon |

That's what I understood.
Might need some cataclysmic event to get the anti-vaxxers off their stupid platform. I know plenty, and their reasons just don't make sense. Of course, nobody likes to be magnetized. |
there is a huge chip shortage at the moment. You may have to wait for a while.

Interestingly, my eFTP is stuck where it was in early Spring and significantly lower than last year, but I'm also faster than last year, i.e. probably more efficient in some way. |

It's very hard to put down a 20 min max effort in the real world.
Interestingly, my eFTP is stuck where it was in early Spring and significantly lower than last year, but I'm also faster than last year, i.e. probably more efficient in some way. I'm finally starting to feel like I'm approaching the shape that I was in last year. Like you, my eFTP is about where it was in the Spring, but I've been feeling much better during hard efforts and it may just be that I haven't had the opportunity to really uncork it for an uninterrupted 3+ minutes. |
Mostly packed. Mostly.

What's your mix of solo/group looking like compared to last year? Maybe you're better at surfin' wheels? Or maybe you're just more aero?

Hilly gravel hurts me, if I were to do something like that, I'd probably replace my 50/34 with a 46/30, but it does look fun.

Revolt has a 48/32, which is fine for this. I'm still trying to get my fit dialed in on it, I can't seem to maintain similar power #s as the R3 and it makes no sense to me.
