I've been riding long enough to know that I can go 1 1/2 hours with no breakfast, just coffee, or 3 hours with breakfast, but if I go longer than that, or do a big, half hour or longer climb, I need to add some calories.

I still haven't figured out Zwifting, though. Because there's no stopping and no real coasting, the workout sessions tend to be a lot more intense. That, and I'm doing races and structured workouts. AND I'm generally Zwifting in the evening about the time I'm running out of lunch. So I keep a couple gels next to the trainer and sometime have one.

So my big sister and I used to forage for them while also looking for the asparagus that had been planted many years before by the previous owner and which had spread considerably.

I'd be leery of picking and eating fruit along a road. Mostly where I grew up it would be some farmer's crop.

Anyways, Did phrantic buy that 3T yet?

A friend of ours will be 65 this month, and she and her husband invited us and two other couples to be her guests. They normally bareboat, but she wanted a crew to serve us for this trip. All we have to do is get there. Got our tickets with points, so cheap trip for us.

really good friend that we had dinner with Wednesday tested positive over the weekend, so around we go.

Riding this morning I had zero energy or legs after going to bed early and getting up late, not looking good.

Oh, and bampilot06 I am still deciding between that and an Aspero

Got all suited up to ride this morning. Toasty 19 degrees. Made it to the top of my drive way, and my street had a solid thin layer of black ice every where I looked. Will try again this afternoon.

you were meant to buy the Allied Echo.

Who sells a bike for 6500 w/ 2kg boat anchor wheels????

We don't know the other two couples. One is the birthday girl's brother and wife. The other is a work friend and his wife. The birthday girl is an exec with SAP and so is the friend. He's also a Porsche nut, so we have that bond.

We'll make it good. Worst case is you jump off and snorkel for a while.

We may go to St. Croix, and if so that'll be a bonus since I've never been there. Plus, its a longish sail.
