Got on the trainer for a little bit of sweet spot and hit my best 60 min power since 2022. There is going to have to be a reevaluation.

We just bought a car. A handful of emails and a couple of phone calls got me over $5k off (about 7.5%) before we ever went to the dealership. I don't make that much per hour.

The Canyon is the only bike I ever paid sticker for, but Canyons are cheap for the value, so.....

I finally did get verified, 3+ hours after I started. I think they checked everything but my criminal background. "Trusted Referee." Please.

At least I stayed lean. Cut back on my afternoon snack and lunch/dinner portions, rarely dessert. At music night a couple week's ago, a friend's SO gave me a hard time for not having a full portion of the desert she made. "Aren't you like super active?" she goes, knowing full well I just had surgery. I told her I didn't want to have a bunch of weight to lose once I started cycling again. My diet scales with my activity level.
I remember our pediatrician told us that babies are smart when it comes to food, and adults are weird. We eat for all sorts of reasons, some being social or emotional. Babies eat when they are hungry, and stop when they are not.
