Man, I dunno what I'm doing down here in PHX, when perfect cycling conditions are available in Wyoming.

I bonked today bad. Squats are fine as long as I stayed in zone 2, but I met up with some guys and we pushed it. After I broke off I went to do another 20 miles in zone 2 and blew up. Also cycling all geared up feels like i’m pedaling through water. Maybe it’s the combination of cold air and all gear up. Anyways I was putting around at 116 watts trying to get home and my heart rate was chilling at the 150 bpm. If I went any slower I would have been going back wards.

It's easier at 200 than it was at > 230, I can tell you that! I've still got considerable body fat at this weight, so I think if I can reduce that without losing lean muscle mass that would be good. I don't see going lighter than 190, though, even if I was once 170 at this height.
I think I'll probably find the next 10 lbs to be harder than the first 30, though.

The day after my divorce was final, my ex showed up at the house.(she was taken from the court and hospitalized over night for observation) At the end she downed a bottle of zanex, threw the bottle at me, empty, and drove away. I reported it. Because she was driving. They found her at the dallon she used to work at , out of her skull wreched.

Sadly, it's come to that. I recently bought and installed some Velox rim tape. It's a shadow of it's old self.
It's been a long time since I've successfully patched a tube the first try. Maybe I should try a different glue. Of course these days I have Gatorskins on both bikes, so it's become less of an issue.

I have an appointment this afternoon, to get the brakes checked. I doubt it will cost even $10. I always make a point of giving this guy a nice tip.

The awful winds have stopped for now and it's just beautiful out. I cruised around and through the parks just now. Lots of branches down and a few big trees, too. One is about a 50 foot eucalyptus. Sad to see a tree that old go down. Eucalyptus were planted here years ago by farmers/ranchers to help block the wind. Most of them are gone now.
When I was a ute there were orchards of citrus trees all over the area and groves of olive trees. One of the parks near home was once a VA hospital but it was leveled in the 1971 earthquake. There is a section of road there which is lined with olive trees. They end up making a mess on the road.
Where I lived with my parents was adjacent to fields of cabbage and on a warm night the house was inundated with the aroma. It's all filled with houses now

I don't talk about fat.
My wife and I were in a shop this morning and my wife was trying on jerseys and the shop owner asked if I would like to try on one. I just laughed.

The hotel we stayed at in ATL over looked the porsche track. Sitting high in my room, I could tell they were all “doing it wrong”. I wouldn’t have stayed on the track, and a porsche would be sitting in my drive way.

Took my daughter to the Harry Potter Enchanted forest in Leesburg a couple of nights ago. It was pretty amazing, but super cold. I was feeling sick before we got there, and got progressively worse. Today the sinus blockage plus headache was insane. Nothing I did would clear my head. So I officially missed one day of squats. Not sure If I should make it up by doing 200 tomorrow or just add a day to this event. I am hoping I feel well enough to ride tomorrow. 66 miles gets me to 9k.
