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

Winning by a FG would probably be the bare minimum to stave off the firing of Mike Zimmer. That would be really frustrating for me and the Vikings are experts at frustrating me, so I think you're on the right track.

You're actually a Vikings fan? NYers seem to stick to their teams, even in absentia.

I finished the hour 40 or so seconds ahead. No problem making power. So I don't understand wtf is going on. Why is a group ride making it so difficult for me? I literally can't make enough power to stay on the front. It shows approx 4wpk but Im maxed out? There is a voice in my head screaming that there is Tomfoolery going on.
No idea but today we did 45 miles with 3000+ feet of climbing which was front loaded. They spanked me on the early steepish climbs but eventually I got my breathing sorted out and we stayed together and it was easy for me as long as it was flatish or downhill. I even dropped the e-bikes on the slight downhills.

I didn't even take a nap after the ride. Wanted to, though.

Nothing rouses you from REM sleep quite like an Amber Alert. Ask me how I know.
