Smart woman. Can you spray a little carb cleaner in the air intake and see if it tries to fire? Something obviously changed after you took the carb apart. Either that or the original problem got worse.

I can try. I only have "throttle body" cleaner that is close enough?

Or trying to finish before dark. I mean, if you're in the saddle for 17 hours, how many miles will you have ridden? When will you next be able to sit down without pain?

Since I lost all that weight, I tend to weigh myself semi-obsessively. Generally at least once on days I ride, often a before and after. And I've been in the 205-208 range for about two months now. So imagine my surprise when the scale said 212 yesterday before my ride! Two Hundred Twelve? How'd I get to THAT from 208 on Friday evening? I didn't eat enough to gain FOUR POUNDS in two days!
Post ride, it was 209. This morning, 208 again, and this was after eating and drinking a pretty normal amount. I'm starting to think there was something off about that one reading.

It's winter. It's too cold to ride, and it's dark a lot. There's time to lovingly craft responses to relatively mundane posts.

I was watching some training vlogs, discussing the benefits of fasted training in the mornings. Sounds like a great idea, except for having to get out of bed in the dark to go ride in the cold garage. I calculated back from when I'd need to be done, and how long I'd need to get ready to ride after falling out of bed, and it's a firm 'No!' Kudos to those who can get up that early, but I am by no means a morning person. I can stay up till way later than I can get up early.

I'm also starting to think of doing awful things like moving all the 11 speed stuff from the SLT over to my Trek and converting it back to 700c wheels. That would involve chopping some cantilever brake studs off.
I miss riding outside. Winter is starting to get to me

I used to be able to ride in the mornings. Now it takes too long for me to go through all the things I need to do to hit the road before it's already too late in the morning.

BTW, I get the same feeling with all the bikes, on the road - "Oh, yeah! THIS is why I have this bike!"
The Younger Boy wants to try getting fitter, and mentioned using the trainer, and I thought, "Maybe I should set up one of my bikes for him", but I realized that then it wouldn't be set up for ME anymore (he's taller than me).
