the small boxy Element can transport bikes upright with both wheels on - as long as are not too big (?)
we can transport one bike laying on it’s side in our CRV - but need to remove front wheels to transport multiple bikes (unless it’s a large full suspension bike that barely fits with the front wheel removed
those bikes require some space ! )

Ah. So for me it's more of a vocabulary than devotional thing, and the picture was just the first. But, always glad to share knowledge.

Well, if there's no category for it at the Grammys, how is the world encouraged to take it seriously?

Never noticed how the google maps machine blurs out front plates even if they don't exist.

Today I will try to set a benchmark time up Alpe Du Zwift. Something I can aim to reach again in 3-6 months after my surgical hernia repair on Tuesday, and the subsequent recovery of course. Body weight was a favorable 143.5 lbs this morning, so I will actually adjust that down in Zwift. Typically I just leave it at 145 lbs and don't bother adjusting with daily variance.
I will go hard, but not turn yourself inside-out, hero level hard. A notch above a repeatable interval effort. I don't often do steady state efforts that are 40-50 minutes long, so I will try to observe the first three rules of time trialing:
1) Don't start too hard
2) Don't start too hard
3) Read rules 1 and 2 again
I have a ton of "drops" (Zwift currency) that I stopped spending once I got the tron bike. I will purchase the lightest setup to aid in this effort (Specialized Aethos, Roval Alpinist wheels)
