Addiction 2021.2

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Altoona news alert:

A buncha FedEx piggybacks got laid over on the Alegrippus Curve, near Horseshoe Curve. Reports indicate they were all empties, so your bicycle part shipments should be OK east coasters.

Great 4 days in Georgetown Kentucky. Good guys, good food, great routes and roads. The nicest people I've ever ridden around. One Dick with a train horn on his Cummins pennis replacement. 270 miles. 12 to 1300 ft of climbing. All in all a great trip. I'm sad it's over.
Now the bad.
so I updated the wahoo a couple days before leaving. This "update" did something to the unit that I've never seen before. My casual rides with maybe a 1000 ft were being reported as 98,000 ft. Etc. Saturdays ride was 200,000 plus.
It would not do the update it was asking for at the hotel.
My battery life was down to around 5 hours. It should be 15 hours.
I deleted element app. And reloaded it. Then I deleted strava and reloaded it. because it wasn't getting the uploads from wahoo. Now even though I suckered myself and paid for the year of full Strava, I have no heart rate data. And can't figure out why it didn't come back with my reupload.
So other than miles time and speed all my other data is either clearly missing or highly suspect.

Awoke today and started working on my wahoo problem. The moment I turned it on it informed me of the update it's been informing me about for a couple of weeks. But this time it worked. Relinking all my sensors, and found that I now have gear detection on my e-tap and axs bikes, kinda neat. Looks like my heart rate data is back. I am still concerned about my elevation readings but that also looks to have stabilized. The static readings went up and down for a while and have now settled @ 0. If my battery performance returns to its previous levels all will be right with the world.
I wish Wahoo, Garmin,Strava...all of these companies would figure out a way to tell us that they are updating things without destroying my user experience. I lost pretty much any to all of my data from my trip. Even more for the previous week leading up to the trip. Time and mph are all that I had eft to me. I could get that from a $20.00 Cateye 'puter.
It irritated me so much I won the Princess award on Sunday for complaining. I wore a dimestore tiara all day on my helmet.
On the positive side of things my riding is improved to almost preaccident quality. I should be able to come back the rest of the way according to how I feel physically. I could literally feel.myself becoming stronger as we were riding. As I relearned how to spin @ high cadence, how to pull up on the off stroke and engage my hammys. It was kind of cool .
tonight's ride should be a good one

Swapped out to a freshly waxed chain and replaced my pedals and cleats (needed new cleats and my LBS was having a sale on pedals, so I decided to replace my 8+ year old Speedplays with the new Wahoo branded ones). Still need to pick up a new rotor (rear rotor is squealing, heavily grooved, and at min thickness) and a new set of brake pads. Once I take care of that, I'll just need a motor overhaul and I'll be good to go.

Lemee know if you find a good shop for that motor overhaul. It has become vividly apparent that my motor is also in need of extensive work. Sumpin just ain't right.

I can help you. I just had 1500 pounds of boulders delivered for a landscaping project, and they need to be moved into place.

There is one big one and four smaller ones.

Come on over for an arms, legs, back workout.

Plenty of beer and pizza provided. Or, tacos if that's your thing.

I'm old enough to know lifting rocks of any size is a really bad idea for this motor. Tacos, however, are a very good idea. So is pizza and beer.
