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

That very well could be it, a subconscious mental block. Fortunately I trust my wife enough that if she coaxes me to try some I'll have a fork full.

I was so stressed at the beginning of this month I totally overlooked the thread change. The end of this month looks better.

You would love bread and butter pickles if they were marinated with Mrs. LAJ's flakes for a few days.

What about pickle ball?? It’s quite popular with the older set.

isn’t it easier on garmin connect where you can separate indoor rides and the rest? If you connect your trainer as a controllable trainer, the activity automatically classified as an indoor ride. Then separating them from the rest becomes easy.

I can see a way of changing the % envelope for individual rides, but I'm not seeing a global setting. Oy.

When I was but a wee lad, I was helping my grandmother cut up rhubarb and she scolded me for throwing away a good part of the stalk with the leaves. I wasn't taking any chances

Can the flakes just be popped in to a jar of store bought pickles or do they need to be introduced when pickling?

Side note: do you and the Mrs make any hot sauces? If I have a lot of Thai peppers and I can't think of what to do with them, I was thinkin' that I might see if I could make some sauce, but I've never looked in to the process.

Just put things together for tomorrow’s ride.

Did I tell you guys how much I enjoy the Hirame pump head? After using so many others, it’s such a pleasure to use.

Wow, so my triathlon teammate won that show Labor of Love, and then they broke up before it aired because they were clearly visibly incompatible.

Well and this is why I miss racing; that was the ultimate determinant of what I could do, and what I needed to do. Or even a damn group or charity ride.
