Addiction LXXVIII

Notices
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

A couple rest weeks in a row. I hit 119 CTL, not counting weights. This old bastage was tired, and cranky. It was best to take it sort of easy.

Generally speaking, humidity is highest in the early morning.

Dunno. Only happens to me on the computer with Chrome. Haven't tried other browsers and not an issue on mobile (also Chrome).
