I'm signing in to my email, and they want to send the two part verification to my email account. Now that I think about it, I've only begun to have this problem since I started using a VPN. It's a bit of a pain. But there are times when it's convenient to appear to be in the USA.

Possibly. I do follow her on Strava but I already have her number because she asked some questions about the Wednesday ride.
She is a pretty strong rider, but she does not know the best techniques for climbing, maybe because she is from Texas? Once she learns, she will be dropping my sorry ass in the climbs. Sad.

What are the best climbing techniques? Asking for a friend.

You can use the crosswalks, plus you get Right Of Way, in California, at least.

When you attack a climb, don’t bend arms at elbows and get aero like when you attack on a flat or downhill. The trade-off between aero and power along curve of hip angle is different for climbing as wind resistance becomes less of an issue. So sit up a bit to increase power.
The Texan attacks hills by crouching. It’s nowhere near as efficient. Trust me.

If you need more detail about opening up hip angle to increase power, ask Bah Humbug as the TT/Tri geeks have that down to a science.

You know the joke about the recipe for a particular chicken dish starts with "First, steal a chicken"?
First, weigh less.

For a century, the ideal stops for me are approximately at 40 and 80 miles, to fill bottles/eat, but tomorrow’s event is wacky. They have a rest stop at mile 7, which is ridiculous, then mile 20, but next one not until mile 54. I think this is to accommodate rides of various lengths like 25/50/64/100. I expect a super quick stop at 20 and a real stop at 54. There are a few rest stops beyond 54, of which I will likely pick one more.
My confusion is the water stop on a 5k run.

Full disclosure:
regarding our earlier discussion about division of work. I must give my wife credit because today I asked her to help me trim some bushes and despite some grumbling she did. We knocked it out fast and went out for lunch and got a to go beer*. We walked around in the designated open container area drinking it. It was nice.
