Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't know if he is going to do anything about her but I did hear other people say they had issues with her, even one of her friends.

Anyway there were close to 20 riders on the route, which was 84 miles but some of us shortened it to 65. Beautiful day with a bit of headwind on the return trip. One friend was hurting and wanted to stop so 3 of us stopped and he bought snacks and drinks for us.
Try to live your life in such a way that nobody calls you "The scary e-bike woman".

It’s 19F out. My friends are all delaying our Sunday ride for temps to warm up, but I have a family obligation so I must bundle up and ride now. I am hopeful this might be the last really cold ride of the winter.

Word. If you like to put chopped walnuts in your waffles, it is a big mistake to forget to chop them.

lol Ice football.
I watched part of the Celtics-Knicks and the Knicks were hanging tough until mid-third when the Celtics started raining 3 pointers on them. I switched to Supercross and the 450 main turned out to be a good race. Tomac fell early but went all the way to second by the end.

So, I took over baby duty so Liz could sleep in more. Once baby was ready for a nap, I hopped on the trainer for the final hour (Zwift). Thing is, baby woke up 30 minutes in . I wanted to let Liz sleep in more, so I fed baby and played with her a bit. Once Liz woke up again, I again jumped on for my final 30 minutes lol.

5 hours elapsed time, 3 hours riding time. I feel good about being able to help Liz though! It is her birthday weekend after all.
That’s the spirit.

Watching a tweet doesn't count.

Speaking of a tweete, this confirms what I have thought for a while now. I am in the midst of global cooling. #MOTD

watched some of that game - changed channels after the Celtics pulled away

have not watched supercross since NBC sports channel disappeared … forget about it now - might be on MSNBC or something like that ?

I did a last to second back in my teacup days (100 cc) - one of my first trophies - possibly my first - went down just after the start before the first corner when I locked handlebars with another bike … it was WFO after that
