Is it bicycle-friendly? Don't want to leave the rig outside where it can be stolen.

This is Addiction, we don’t need no stinking cycling content.

There goes Vol, posting internet pics again. At least he managed to grab a pic of an actual Addict, this time. Not sure who took that pic of my legs, though.

So we're on a ferry and the gas-burning SUV next to us is running the engine, windows up, AC cranking. I talk them and I'm like, "so, your engine is throwing off a bunch of heat and, between that and the exhaust, it's making it pretty miserable over here."
They immediately get defensive, "well we have a baby, it's hot, yadda, yadda." It's worth noting that it's 75⁰ and overcast
"Yeah, I've got kids too, and it'd be nice if we could have the windows open and cool down, etc."
So the guy cuts the engine, but comes over to me a couple minutes later and says, "so, that wasn't cool the way you went about that, you could have just asked me to turn off the car. I didn't even know that there was a problem."
"That's why I explained that there was a problem."
"But should have just asked me to turn it off."
"And then I would have had to explain why I was asking - I was getting that out of the way first."
"That's not cool."
"So A then B is okay, but B then A isn't?"
"Yeah."
******g entitled *******s.

Oh and took the top spot back. Probably no more 300-mile weeks now that I'm trying to get back to running.
Probably.

It's that time of year again, when the constant onshore winds become less constant and even occasionally we get offshore winds in varying strengths. You know, Smoke Season. I have just completed negotiations with Mrs. GeneJockey for a permanent clear space in the garage for the trainer and accompanying table for Zwifting.
This time of year, you have to play it by ear, or more accurately, play it by Purple Air. Had to postpone the C&V ride this morning, because it was >100 AQI over the whole route. Ah, well. At least we're able to ride pretty much all year, and not have to worry about snow.

We have 4 networks that could potentially be playing baseball. TWO of them are playing soccer games right now.
I miss the good ol' days when you tuned in to one of the Spanish language networks for soccer.
Well I guess it's still a little early even for east coast games, but still...
