You shamefully won't even pry yourself out of Knoxville to go visit your buddy in NW Metro Atlanta (or something like that), so nobody will expect to see you elsewhere.

We are leaving for Sedona Wednesday. The forecast is rain and cold. The two nice days are the day we arrive and the day we leave.

Left the lap top at home this morning. Had to go back and fetch it. I have a serious case of the Mondays.

When I went home to get it I snagged my wool hat on my neighbor's tree. Got back to the office to discover that there was a giant leaf stuck to it. I think that explains why the old lady sitting across from me on the bus was looking at me like I was nuts.

Tacking...? That's an odd "safe' word....but...whatever, I don't judge.

*(The Pretzel, which combined all the climbs in Watopia at an earlier stage of the game, so no Alpe du Zwift, but it does include the Epic KOM from both sides as well as the Radio Tower once).

I managed to do 47% of a century on Zwift. It wasn't too bad, but I used getting a route badge for a tough route* as the incentive. It wasn't horrible, but it was a long time in the garage. I had to make sure I got out of the saddle periodically, whether the terrain required it or not.

Of course, you don't see me doing many outdoor centuries either.

I think I once spent two hours minus pee breaks on the trainer and I've been doing a 90 min group ride once a week or so, which I find hard enough. I couldn't conceive of doing a century unless maybe it was laid back enough to listen to the most fascinating audio book ever produced.

OTOH I would jump at the chance to do an outdoor century every weekend if the temps are above freezing.
