Had a short but sweet ride. I am prepared to get kicked off the podium but might still stay on, barely.
Strava tells me I hit 5k miles for the year. :bday: |

How do you tell a next-door neighbor that their festering kiddie pool is breeding mosquitos? They're even attacking in the daytime, just now in full sunlight where I'm usually safe.
We have a respectful relationship, wave and smile and say hello and all, but they've only been there a year so we're not 'tight" yet. I'm dying to just give them a couple mosquito dunks but they have 2 young-uns and I don't want to be responsible if they misuse it. |

Not a great picture but gives an idea of the setting.

Aware. I hope you are right. But as Han Solo told young Skywalker, “don’t get cocky!”

Think you could plunk some chlorine tabs in to the pool? :D |

He just wrapped up a ~50-miler, so unless we egg him on to get back out there... :innocent:

Sneak over at night and pour some DDT in it.

Lovely weather day for cycling. Or to be a cat.

Just checked, Looks like I passed 5000 miles my last ride as well.
I just might be able to hit my goal of 7500……… |
These amuse me.

Maybe I should stop getting my new routes from a climber.
Not quite an official datlas ride of 100'/mile but ~50mi and 4300' still hurt quite a bit. Ended up hitting PRs on a decent amount of segments and got a 7w increase on my eFTP from Intervals :) Must be why I've been glued to the couch all afternoon :lol: |

Do you have a lot of short steep climbs there? Got a low gear?
Lots of ~2 miles and 800'-1000' though with 10-15% kicks. I've got a 34x32 and I use it regularly. |
Blue bike faster, as it turns out.
