Norway.
I guess it's not too private or surprising that she's no fan of the Orange Man. I have not established Norwegian views on proper cycling (road, obviously).

Actually, something like DMing is probably better than face-to-face. Small talk isn't big - they're not like most Americans that feel that silence is awkward and should be filled with small talk. It may take a while for them to open up about themselves - they can be very private - so don't "pry" about personal stuff, but follow up on what's offered - think long-game. Maybe talk about the outdoors and whatnot - your aversion to the cold and their typical mentality of "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing" could make for an interesting ice-breaker (ha ha).

On today’s ride, one of my friends showed up in a brand new Gabba jersey. I noted it and my other friend was unaware of the power of Gabba. I tried to explain but don’t think he got it. I then said “Gabba Gabba Hey!” And they both looked at me like I was nuts. I tried to explain the Ramones to them but that was also fail.
My work is cut out for me.

My second Kickr Snap is going back because of vibration. The problem was years old when I bought the first one, but I guess they have found it cheaper to keep replacing them than to redesign the thing so it works.

You ever wonder what new DA looks like stripped and polished?
