In case anyone is wondering what's going on with Gopher these days, he's in Syracuse starring in a production of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

Abshipp. On the 16th of June I scheduled a meeting at 8 am not knowing it was going to give me the whole day off. Anyways the meeting is going to take 30 mins and I will be in Charlotte. I could come to you if you are available. Just throwing that out there.
Got good news today, I’m getting based back in New York August 1st.
I can’t do 4 days on 2 days off. I have literally spent my whole day off running around. Tomorrow I have to go back to Charlotte.

2 - trying to pace myself a little better on the when the going was good
3 - wherein I gave up and cut the longer sides short, mostly to avoid 10 miles of grinding in to the wind.

The course was a rectangle. First side was 5 miles with cross/slight tailwind, second was 10 miles with tailwind, 3 was 5 miles with cross/slight headwind, 4 was 10 miles with headwind. You can see a pretty clear demarcation between the first half and the second

There were elements of fatigue, pacing and soul crushing - when you turn the corner and see that the wind has kicked up and you know that you've got 10 miles until you're out of it? Ugh.

For me, there's a spot where I hit the top of a 2 milelong, 1.7% average rise, and as I hit the flat part at the top, there are no trees anymore to block the wind, and I know I'll have to fight it for 2 miles (weekday rides) or about 7 miles (weekends, riding from home), and I don't have the option to turn around or go a different way.

Could be worse. I got no miles in, but parted with Emonda SL7 level funds to pay for tooth and office AC repairs today. I'd trade days.

On the bright side, our daughter is coming up for the weekend to celebrate her birthday and Father's Day, and I'm excited about that.

The best is when a storm kicks up and blows you home.

Kentucky was great, great weather, good fun. But I did have a strange thing happen on Sunday. 78 mile ride, approx. 10 miles in, I lost almost all power for climbing. My heart rate wouldn't come up over 100 bpm. I felt just fine, no pain, nothing to point at except I was pretty dehydrated. At around 60, 65 miles or so things returned to normal. Sunday, I was just fine.
