Reminded myself today that not all rides have to be hard.

I cant eat any of them, so maybe not a literal 10x. Far more though, yes. And the fudge counter alone is much bigger than that one. It is seriously huger than the rest of you are ready to accept.

Good ride today but with a bit of drama. Goal pace for Wednesday is 16-17. We did the first half at almost 19, and although I thought we were all together, we dropped one rider. She caught us at the rest stop, and two other cyclists I know were doing the same route but slower, so I apologized for the drop and she said NP she would do second half with the two other slower riders. We ended up around 18.5 average speed (I effing hate that term) which for a 50 mile ride with 2800 feet of elevation was still a bit too fast imo. I really wanted to keep the pace more relaxed, but when the fast horses get on the front and hammer, it’s stay with them or get dropped.

I wonder what would happen if Apple (or Samsung) suddenly released a new phone that wad the old one with a base model Nikon Coolpix superglued on the back and costing over double.

Elite HRV or spend the 10 bucks on HRV4training, which is a little more geared toward athletes and will tell you all sorts of things, some of which could be accurate. Both do a good job of phone camera measurement.

When we went to lunch yesterday it took a long time for the food to come out and by the time it did I was beyond hungry. My friend gave me the pickles from his spicy chicken sandwich and the super tart pickle with the hot sauce on it was an explosion of flavor. It was startling, actually.

Sadly, onion and garlic now do bad things to my stomach (and AG's) and that wipes out essentially all pre-made sauces and spice mixes. Fortunately, Buc'ees sells good huge salads and you can buy chicken and cheese to put on top. Better food than you can get at any other place for a restricted diet. Of course, they also have more interesting fare for those who can partake.

Interesting gizmo, but not as interesting as a lactate meter. However, that's a deep hole off the cave of pointless geekiness I'm already in and I don't like finger sticks.
