Despite getting no votes of support here I went anyway.
Went for a climb here with 24-hour rider.
I haven't been climbing this summer. It's hard work.
But I HTFU and did it anyway.
Clear skies over ye ol' Smokies today.
On sections of the downhill we were both coasting and it was amazing how far he got ahead of me. I don't get it.

why you gotta be like that? 
the 200 mile mark for the week is much more of a motivator than the leader board, and who could begrudge someone "sneaking" in a 70-miler? My ride was pretty fun - I'll probably do it again next year (early bird price, I hope), just to get in an annual century and because it's the only organized ride that I've done (which, admittedly, hasn't been that many) where I could pick and choose from a few 25+ mph groups. Hell, this may have actually gotten me off the fence in terms of looking for group rides to join - I like riding solo to clear the mind, but moving at a good clip at damn near a recovery HR is fun.

See if you idiots like this song, it's going on the album.
Be nice now. Actually people are always nice. They generally won't tell you that you suck, they only tell you if they like it. That's what I do. This song has been going over great in bars. I think it hooks pretty hard. Trying to write pop songs with the great melody hooks. You write a good enough melody that hooks and they lyrics could be nazi marching lyrics, people would still love it. Regardless if somebody tells me I suck, my response would be 'tell me something I don't know arsehole.'

Angelina - words and music © Pcad Songs 2017
I hear you’re trying to make a new start Angelina
I guess that means you broke a new heart Angelina
Did you let him down easy
I don’t recall you doing that for me
You said I was too needy
That’s the blow off line that you used when you cut me free
New men might sell their souls for you Angelina
I take it nothing less would ever do Angelina
Girl I think it’s time you come down
Back here on earth with me where you belong
And maybe when I come back round
This could be our make up pillow talk song
(Bridge) Angelina I know you think that now
You’re in your prime
Oh but Angelina I’m afraid our love
Is running out of time
Out of time
I hear you’re trying to make a new start Angelina
What if I got other plans for your heart Angelina
Would you throw me a life vest
You might just find the one it saves is you
You think that you know what’s best
But way deep down my love you can feel it too
You feel it too
Babe I know you do
I love you girl and we’re not through Angelina
We both know I’m the only man for you Angelina
Angelina Angelina

Since starting my radiation treatments I've switched over a lot of things I eat to organic, or free-range, or grass-fed, or wild-caught. It may cost a little more, but it's worth it to give my body the very best ingredients to rebuild with. You ARE what you eat.

Say pcad, a question for you about party bands. Why, as the party progresses, does both the volume increase and the content keep moving toward harder rock? IME bands at parties including, of course, weddings and bar mitzvahs, start off covering pop, soft rock songs until after dinner. Everyone walks around saying, ""Wow, this is a great band."
Then the volume gradually increases to the skull ******* level, and the music becomes one long twangy guitar riff after another. Conversation becomes impossible, and people's eyes start to glaze over with the unasked question, "When is this torture ever going to end."
Does the band just get as drunk as we do? At least the music provides a good excuse to leave the party early.

* not you of course, I KNOW you're dancing, but the other stiffs.

Maybe so, but for me that is the wrong way to go about it. When the volume gets to a certain level, I just zone out and withdraw. I can't stand loud music. And who dances to twangy guitar riffs?

I saw a buck in the tall grass on the mup ride. It was in a burb-ish area, but still pretty surprising, given what it'd have to traverse to get there.

That's what makes the fires last fall so amazing. The next ridge north of this has zebra patches that are brown from the fires. I should have taken a picture but I didn't know how well it would show up in the photo.

Weren't there any fast riders in the Minnesota Minor? Maybe there will be more in the Grungy Gravel Fest.
