2. Amazon/Whole Foods, curbside pickup, grubhub. I don't even hit the MUP or good MTB trails on weekends, too many people exhaling all over the place.
2. Not for the baseball, but for the inevitable cessation of WFH. But actually doing a group ride again would be fun, and a live baseball game does sound good.

Hard (for me) and hilly group thrash today. The exhaustometer on my watch has been redlined all day.

Seriously! LAJ
It was epic. It was cool at the start, but that's expected at 8,000 feet. I let the speedsters go, because I just know better. The folks that tried to hang with them that shouldn't have, started pooping their diapers as I hit the real climb. I'm not fast enough to hang with them, but too fast to roll with the groupetto, so I tend to be in no mans land a lot. At least I was able to pick those guys off. Either way, with about 5 miles to go, the clouds started rolling in, and the wind preceded them out of treeline, so it was hard a lot, but at least with switchbacks, we get a tailwind here and there. Of course, we don't chase clouds, we ride into them, which was handy because you can see which way the wind blows. At the top it was easily a 25mph steady frigid wind, and it was hard to put the clothes I put in the drop bag on both because I was freezing, and the wind would decide to let me know who was boss. Unknown on placing, but I think in the 15th place range, (optimistic) out of almost 50. Such a nasty race, yet we keep coming back.

I got corn fields to ride in and you got epic rides. I like yours.

I felt great today, no problem. However, we had a guy who has had open heart surgery kept dropping 20 miles from home. I hated to pull him in since I felt so good but the humidity was killing him and I couldn’t have lived with myself if he keeled over in the middle of the corn fields.

Breaking news: the Microshift R8 gears on AG's trainer bike actually seem to work reasonably well. I wonder how their 11sp stuff is.

72 miles and 2400 ft, first 20 in the rain. What a greasy, slimey, sweaty mess.
I don't know what the deal is but I climb for poo this year. I don't know what happened,, or changed but i was fine earlier this year in Kentucky. Now I just blow up. As soon as the road goes up, I'm in oxygen debt. It sucks.
all in all was a good ride had some hard fast pulls. Was fun .

1. Just going out to get the jabs is exposure (driving clear across town to get a drive-thru jab would've been a limited exposure, but still exposure).
2. Amazon/Whole Foods, curbside pickup, grubhub. I don't even hit the MUP or good MTB trails on weekends, too many people exhaling all over the place.
2. Not for the baseball, but for the inevitable cessation of WFH. But actually doing a group ride again would be fun, and a live baseball game does sound good.

Might be a little confusing, though.

The odds of getting sick while getting a shot, even at a place like datlas's virus center, are really low.
Safeway was much better. Most vaxxers were already jabbed by late June, so not many people back there waiting preshot, and they don't make you wait in the waiting room for 20 mins post shot.
Plus I got the Moderna, which rumour has it does better against Delta than the Phizer Mom got at Wally World.
I'm still going to mostly isolate and/or mask up for quite a while, even after my shot is fully fledged.

Sweet ride! The wheels look awesome. I always like the spoke pattern on campy.
