Because we could? Is that why that thing was built?

Rode the cervelo tonight. Really wish I had a power meter on that thing. Just going by feel, the cervelo requires way more effort to do anything compared to the madone. Maybe I am just tired, but I have this area I dubbed the gauntlet. It’s at the end of my ride and I always sprint it, it’s the last busy section of road to my neighborhood. Always a lot of traffic and two stop lights, i’d say it’s about a half a mile long. On the madone I usually get up to 32-35 mph easily without my heart rate going above 167. Today I could go any faster than 24 mph, out of the saddle on the drops.
Both my brakes have a slight rub, I have tried time and time again to squash that to no avail, but could that really be causing that much more effort? That’s gunna be an issue since this my race bike at the moment.
I wish I was better with bikes, and had the time. I would love to just completly dismantle it and rebuild it.

Since you don't have power on the Cervelo, take a look at recent rides and compare Av HR and speed between both bikes. My bet is that, adjusted for HR/effort, they're going to be very, very close.

As far as Super Bowls go, I don't find much in this matchup to be terribly compelling. Usually, I want to see one team win and/or I want to see one team lose. I don't really care either way, this time around.

I'm with the Bengals simply because Joe Burrow is from my adult life home town.
Normally I would root for the old guy. Stafford in this case.

They let me go after I think one or two weeks. They said I was too fast and scarfing up too much work and the other guys objected. Plus, the guy I replaced wanted to come back.

Same, Pats aren’t in, so I hoped the Bills could get it done for their long suffering fan base but with them, Brady and Mahones out I’m not too interested.

how much and what size?
The issue isn’t my technical experience, the issue is time and my wife’s perception of how I use it. If I am doing yard work there is nothing wrong with me working from sun up to sun down. Second I start doing anything with a bike she starts asking when I will be done after about 30 mins. This causes me to rush and that’s when I make mistakes.

I think that your perception is playing games with you, frankly. The power power delta between 24mph and 32+ is big. Really big - you're *not* losing that to the bike. I'm sure that the bikes feel way different, though, and that's going to play in to impression of both speed and effort relative to speed; you're not slogging as much as you think you are on the Cervelo and you're not effortlessly laying waste to the tarmac on the Madone - it's just that the different feedback from the bikes is shaping your perception.
Since you don't have power on the Cervelo, take a look at recent rides and compare Av HR and speed between both bikes. My bet is that, adjusted for HR/effort, they're going to be very, very close.

You are probably right.

I remember the one in 1982 with Montana against Anderson. I had started a job at an independent garage where I was the only one in the shop who spoke English. Two owners, one was a coke head. It was a very lonely experience. They had a Spanish newspaper with pics from the Superbowl and the guys were trying to help me read it. IIRC someone grabbed Andersons' face mask and almost pulled his head around. Don't remember much else about the game.
They let me go after I think one or two weeks. They said I was too fast and scarfing up too much work and the other guys objected. Plus, the guy I replaced wanted to come back.

Off to see my cardiologist for no reason other than for him to talk about bikes and say, "See you in a year."

I awoke at 3:30, in part due to dog noise and in part due to being cold. My wife missed the testing cut-off on Friday, and is asymptomatic, so I can't go crawl in with her and warm up. I took a hot shower instead. My sister and bil are sleeping in separate rooms for similar reasons. They have a brand new granddaughter and he was exposed recently.
