Yeah. My cousin's kid (kid? He's probably 50!) did a Century on Zwift. I don't know how he managed it.
When I have to do a longer ride (like yesterday and today), I look for routes with some rollers and some short (1//2 mile) to medium (2 mile) climbs, just so I remember to get out of the saddle. It's not a problem IRL, because, well - here's the profile of my usual Sunday route....

Another windy day here, so no big ride for me, maybe tootle around town a bit...
Yesterday's wind not nearly as bad as some locations in the Sierra Nevadas but I damn near got blown over coming around the corner of a building once.

I'm down. Eastern European cottage cheese is delicious, and a little different from American cottage cheese. I love 'em both of course. It's hard not to love 99.9% of the cheeses out there.
If they make one with bacon on it for a couple bucks more I'd likely wanna go with that option.

Nice couple of hours riding around the neighborhood. Clouds were present and got sprinkled on a bit but not bad. I cut through this park to the creekbed.
There is water from the dam up there. They'll turn it off pretty soon.
After fooling around down there I climb back toward home and cut through a different park. This one was a V.A. hospital until the 1971 quake.
Did a little climb above the park.
Blue sky?

Second breakfast for Mrs. F and I on a rainy Sunday morning in Eugene, OR.
We got to spend most of the day with our son yesterday. We will have dinner with him and his GF tonight, and take a drive out to the coast together on Monday.

Those look delicious. There have been times I've wondered if you can still get those without a shrimp cocktail and antipasto on em.

Mrs datlas and I wanted to go for a walk since it’s sunny and 64F out. We have lovely preserves in the area but with recent rains they are super muddy. So we took a walk on the local MUP. It was quite crowded with walkers, joggers, a couple roller bladers, and LOTS of cyclists. Some were clearly newbies and/or families with little kids, but some were “serious” cyclists kitted up and zooming by us at 20MPH.
I felt like yelling at them to ride on the road where they belong.
There were also lots of e-bikes. The trail says specifically “No Motor Vehicles” but I suppose e-bikes don’t count even though they have a motor.
