. Especially w the wine. The whole left-brained aspect to it adds enjoyment for me. (nerd alert)

I don’t race and typically won’t go bigger than 28 tires anyway, so I’m not sure what my hang up is all things considered. I would like to be confident that i can hit a small pebble and not get it wedged in between the fork and tire.
I love the Time frame with the clear coat, it’s amazing looking.

This time of year was:
Tuesday 6x4' 290-ish 5' rest
Wednesday 3x10' FTP 5' rest
Thursday 1 Hour Tempo
Saturday 6x4' again. Outside, so better numbers.
Sunday 3x10' again.
Both outside ride out at Z1-barely Z2 if at all. Ride back at SS
Starting your week with a leg-drainer is tough, and that's exactly what a 3x15' is. Especially if it's FTP, as a Z4 ride can certainly be under FTP, and it's still painful.
Remember, if you're training, and training for something, the end goal of your training is to train better.

My thought process if I did this day 4 I wouldn’t be able to finish.

Just test rode the super caliber. Had the Sram transmission, well the one I posted yesterday. It was nice, but I really don’t know how a MTB should feel. Almost felt too small, but according to the trek website a Large is the correct size.

FWIW, my Procaliber is a M/L. A friend of mine had a M Supercaliber (same TT length as M/L Procal), and it fit me fine, too. You're a bit taller than me (5'-9", 32" pants inseam). More so than any other type of bike, I find a smaller frame to be a plus on a MTB. Space to let the bike move around under you is a good thing.

I think that’s a requirement isn’t it? 😆
Even in college I never did much reefer, as we used to call it BITD.

NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH
I had a plan to ride this morning. Wife and sd/grand have a play date, away. I took the first dose of a two drug combo designed to curb my incessant belching. It pretty much dissembled my digestive tract. It emptied, first, at the porcelain throne, and then from the other end while lying on the bathroom floor unable to move. Ultimately the aroma drove me to crawl into the shower and, to my dismay, see the bulk of the floor area puddled brown. Everything in that puddle got washed. Should I was it again (we only have cold water)? I will spare you the rest, but there is more. I write this missive from my wife’s throne, three Pepto bismol tablets tablets in me. Hoping they are able to do their work reasonably quickly.

I drink hardly any alcohol ever. If my friend has some scotch when I visit, I’ll have one or two. A beer once in a blue moon. Never been a fan of wine. Mind, it hasn’t always been so.
