I'm signing in to my email, and they want to send the two part verification to my email account. Now that I think about it, I've only begun to have this problem since I started using a VPN. It's a bit of a pain. But there are times when it's convenient to appear to be in the USA.

What are the best climbing techniques? Asking for a friend.

The Texan attacks hills by crouching. It’s nowhere near as efficient. Trust me.

If you need more detail about opening up hip angle to increase power, ask Bah Humbug as the TT/Tri geeks have that down to a science.

I expect a super quick stop at 20 and a real stop at 54. There are a few rest stops beyond 54, of which I will likely pick one more.
My confusion is the water stop on a 5k run.

Full disclosure:
regarding our earlier discussion about division of work. I must give my wife credit because today I asked her to help me trim some bushes and despite some grumbling she did. We knocked it out fast and went out for lunch and got a to go beer*. We walked around in the designated open container area drinking it. It was nice.
