As far as elevation goes, I've said before, you can't swing a dead cat with a 1000' of elevation gain.

Does anyone know how long each stage of acquisition according to the Ferengi should last?
It seems like I’ve been stuck in infatuation far too long. If I had a guideline, at least I would know. There’s still the justification, appropriation, obsession and resale that I have to go thru you know?

As a noob, visitor or tourist, you do NOT want to drive on the FDR drive.

Although since I'm forced to sit around, unable to do much with this hernia & isolation, I've noticed my quads starting to shrivel like an old man.
I may have to get on my bike and find some modest hills to rebuild.

I hate Boston too, but for different reasons than the traffic. It pains me greatly that my grandson and parents live there.

No ride today other than a couple of miles around the neighborhood with my daughters.
My 8 year old and I are going to run a couple of miles. She loves doing it and can do 3 miles at an 8:45 pace, not bad for a kid. Running kills my hip ever since I had my labrum repaired back in 16 (which was supposed to remedy the issue) but since she loves it so much, I’ll suffer through. I wish I never had it, it hurts more now than pre-surgery.
have 60 planned for tomorrow afternoon after I drop them off with their mother, will be the most I’ve done in one time since 2017, haven’t really ridden much the last three years, maybe had a total of 1000 for all three combined. I’m still managing 18-19 on 40ish mile rides with 2-3k in climbing, so I guess it’s not all bad.
I’ve done more than that this year and my goal is 5k. My 40th b-day Fred Sled has definitely got me more motivated to go.
