There is an unspoken rule that no matter how big you are you cannot hurt your dad. You can make him nervous though.

We all, except baby brother, moved out at or around the age of 18. My brothers all went into the military, actually.

All this trainer talk made me check my setup and my cabling. I run my Kickr with and iPad cabled by HDMI to a TV. I don't know whether it's my new iPad, new Kickr, or FulGaz updates but everything connected immediately. 
I should have loaded one of the 4k video routes...

We experienced some belt therapy as kids. My dad denies it now that it is frowned upon by most everyone. I don't know if his denial is revisionist history or failing memory. My bet is the former.

I went out and cruised easy for 2+ hours. I was surprised at how much the little 45 mile ride yesterday kicked my ass. Maybe it was the headwind, maybe it was riding with people on e-bikes, although they let me pull when ever I felt like it. The problem with that is I can't wear them down so later they can just switch to "turbo" mode and climb like a pro.
I changed a tube for a lady today. I saw her working on it and asked if she needed help. She was very happy for the assistance as she was considering walking home.
We talked about the local clubs and she said her husband was a double century type guy for a while. One year he did 26 doubles and then he hung up his bike and wont ride it anymore. Total burn out.

In the 90s when I burned out on road bikes I did a lot more mountain biking and my ex loved that, too.

From 2000 to 2020 I did about 2000 club rides. It got harder to keep up as younger, faster riders joined and I got slower. I thought about quitting the club but didn't know if I could handle the withdrawals. When the club rides stopped due to C19 I found out I could live without it. Now I only go to certain rides or ride with the other club or small groups.

There was no way in the world I would ever challenge my dad physically, no matter the size factors. Because of respect, not because of fear. Never even crossed my mind.

I changed sports. I got into archery. At that point, the back of our yard was so overgrown that I could shoot my bows pretty much unobserved. Nobody who lived across the creek and up the embankment ever came out into their yards, either. I joined a club, shot there every Saturday,

I never would have, either, but he ruled with fear. I didn't visit them for a couple years after I moved out. I eventually tried to make peace with him but I was no good at doing that and neither was he. I visited him before he died and made small talk. That was as close as we got.

The summer before senior year of college, the X-C team agreed that, in order to kick ass next season, we would work up to a 100 mi. week at the end of August. Thus ended my varsity running career. I think I went back to the bike and did a couple of collegiate races that year, but only after I could walk unassisted again.

Just gunna throw this up here to see what you wizards think.
Just hooked the wife’s bike up to the wahoo kickr core. Followed the directions in the book, Seems really really hard to pedals and it sounds like something is rubbing.
Shifted to the granny ring and continued shifting to the largest cog and it threw the chain. Separate issue i’ll fix that later.
I was trying to do the initial spin down like it asked, Spin up to 22.4 mph and then let it coast. I spun up but it kept saying speed unavailable. I tried it a couple of times and it never showed speed data. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.
Also, it doesn’t like it if I pedal backwards. Maybe I am not suppose to do that.
Plan on getting on the wahoo website tomorrow to trouble shoot but if any of you geniuses know what I did wrong that would be great.
