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

I like pumpkin bars (and really, they're more like pumpkin cake) with cream cheese frosting, too. Mmmmmm.

BTW, here's my Zwifting setup. No, the orange bucket is NOT for puking into! Mind you, that's not a bad idea.....

I like the dual fan setup. Must consider.

Just picked up the bike. It’s good to go. Pinch flat and some scrapes on rear derailer and right shifter.

I have a third fan even larger and more powerful, that I break out on days when the garage is warmer than two fans can handle.

And I STILL end up soaked.

Glad that's all! But it must be a bummer getting the first scrapes on a new bike, like when I was washing my car when it was just new and I let the hose nozzle hit the paint and chip it.

Not happy about it, but with as hard as I hit and how jacked up my body is I am happy there is no other damage to the bike.

The paint didn’t even get scratched.


On another note, Noticed I hit a max of 609 watts this morning. (probably during the crash)

Pumpkin pie is the one pie The Boys agree on - The Younger Boy doesn't like fruit of any kind. His grandfather would have been scandalized - he built a whole career on fruit. I'd say he's rolling over in his grave, but he's in a box on a bookshelf......

Ah! You absorbed the impact with your body, protecting the bike! Good man!

I'm glad to hear that about the bike. Save some pennies and buy a new brifter and derail down the road, and it'll be as good as new.

I did that when I scratched up my fork early in the Domane's life. Just couldn't stand to look at the scratches on such a new bike, so I bought a new fork. Sucked then, but now I don't even think about it.

I prefer sweet potato pie over pumpkin. (Yeah, there's one in every crowd.)

I'll eat it if there's no other pies available, but I won't be happy about it.

I can't say that I've ever had sweet potato pie, but maybe I did and found it unremarkable - in a good way, because if it were bad I'd remember.

I just saw something on Facebook - "How to deal with Anti-Vaxxers at a holiday dinner", and I thought a) "Get the **** outta my house", or b) "Here's your bell. There's your corner. Don't leave it."

I have two brothers who are rigid anti-vaxers, and they appeared on the initial guest list for our daughter's wedding. One I can't stand anyway. Big debate raging about whether they should stay on the list.

Our last two days have been wet but at least we are in the low 60s and the wind died down today. Still, I’m tired of cleaning chains nd bikes.
