I slept in too, but I also didn't get home until after midnight last night so I still didn't get much sleep :rolleyes:

I've never had to deal with anything like that and I fear for the day that it happens, mostly since I'm nonconfrontational to a fault and I'd likely let them get away with it without comment. |

Sorry to hear about the asshattery you had to deal with this morning.

Lost my cool with a driver for the first time in just about forever this morning. Guy towing a boat started blowing his horn behind me to get around on a no shoulder road.

He ran them off the road and swerved back and nearly clipped me with his trailer.
I caught up to him a gas station and asked “Are you trying to kill someone or just ******g stupid?” he got in my face (thankfully I had a face cover on because it was freezing) and told me bikes don’t belong on road. I thought he was actually going to take a swing at me. |

I'm wishing we could've stayed here all weekend, riding Rails-to-Trails on a full suspension MTB, but the little lady wanted to do stuff down here in PHX for some reason.

Just got poked- hoping I have a reaction more like my wife (none). Need to find a way to get 12 miles in this afternoon to hit my modest mileage goal - might just go screw around on the revolt before I put the slicks on

Just landed back at my home airport. My vacation officially starts. Don’t go back to work til the 18th.

Hard ride today. There were not many hills but windy and it felt like a headwind 80% of the time.
I wonder if there is a route planner for rides that takes into account usual micro-climate winds to minimize headwinds. |
We have arrived in VA! :bday:
...to signs of deferred maintenance all around the house. :notamused: |

Slow afternoon, everyone must be recovering from spraying weed killer. Weekend to do list was completed but no riding. I still haven't recovered from my last ride. I think the steroid injection made things worse. At least with a second shot I'll have more opportunity to gain weight. :mad:
I also woke up at 3 am last night in Afib. I don't think that's why I woke up but what a nice bonus. I put my HR monitor on and it was around 90 bpm so it wasn't too concerning. I went back to sleep at 5 am hoping it would return to normal rhythm and when I woke up it was. I need to accept this as the new normal. |
Did a little systems check on the Cervelo and released some pent-up energy from the drive.
Tried to pull an abshipp and average 166bpm, but couldn't do it. :cry: |

Whoa! I’m unusually late to the new thread, already at page 11 :O
