Addiction LXXVIII
#therealshame is going to be that in only a few years I'm going to wake up and be one of those (relatively) wealthy middle-aged white men, wondering when I became the establishment.
I just hope I'm better than the current batch.
No offense to anyone here.

Today's ride had a starting temp of 86 and ending temp of 88, with medium humidity. It was plenty hot, especially in the sun...but actually not bad in the shade on on descents. I did drink 2 bottles in 2 hours, and luckily it was a recovery/Z2 ride so I did not have to hammer. If it was to be a hard ride, I would have likely overheated.

Little or no evidence of outdoor spread. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

The last time we rode together was last Saturday. He got tested Thursday by the MLB team he works for, and it came up positive. Today he texted that he lost taste/smell, but feels okay.
When he told me he was positive, I called my employer, and they gave me the week off. I just hope I' didn't spread it to my mom. .

I definitely don't want to be "that guy" that gave it to all his coworkers, I worked 2 days after my last contact with the guy that tested positive, but at work we are all very cautious.
Way back in April, when we knew very little, I woke up one morning with a sore throat (two days after meeting the DHL delivery guy with neither of us wearing masks). Next day I felt like I was coming down with something, AND, my raw almonds tasted bitter and other things tasted weird. At the time I was unaware of that being a symptom. Now I read that it is THE symptom. Anyway, as the week went on, I had muscle pain, dizziness, noticeably low blood pressure one day only. At the end of the first week all I had was the sore throat and it continued one more week. No testing of course. But I'm telling myself I had it.

There was a time when it was the reason to go to bed...I was ADDICTED for 45 years. Then I woke up one morning without a craving. I don't want to give that craving another chance.

And the loss of smell is generally associated with a mild case. Not to say a mild case can't be a spreader. Hoping for the best for you. You're young and in good health.
Is this a sign of COVID-19, or something else?

There’s an unsanctioned TT series here that I’ll probably give a shot. But not this year, aside from our friends brewery Mrs. and I are on lockdown.

But you'll both probably have frames to choose from before long.

The Mrs and the boy started watching Hamilton today. It was the sole purpose that she got Disney+.
That's the other thing - I want discs, so I might have to wait a little longer.
