Addiction 2021.3

Notices
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

this will prolly be my last week of anything considerable mileage. Leave for Dallas on Tuesday, I’m still not sure I can bring the ritchey with me.

Once I finish training, I think it’s right to the Line. My bike riding will most likely be extremely limited the rest of the year.

Gonna Strava the hotel exercise bike rides?

Do you have an inkling of what your schedule is going to look like once things settle down? Maybe you should have picked up a Suito with the handy folding legs and handle - it'd make a nice travel trainer.

Rode down to the little store outside the park entrance along the Harlem Valley Trail and happened to meet one of the co-authors of “Younger Next Year.” The lay one, not the doctor. He’s 87 and still riding.

If I do anything worth recording I will throw it on strava. I usually don’t last to long on hotel bikes.

Really depends on what I get and how quickly I can get off reserve. I imagine training will take about 2 months to finish. So probably, around Feb, I will have some normalcy again. Really hoping I can get DCA as a base by March or so. That would really help.

Youngins don't need a multiplier

Course, we're talking multipliers, then we need to look at just plain altitude too... I have the age thing, the elevation thing, and the altitude. I sometime ride some miles, here and there.

Thinner air means you can go farther and faster. You’ll have to give up miles.

I got a job at a factory,I told them I was 18 but I was 16. It was a toxic hell-hole but I stayed for most of a year. When the hospital reopened I went back as a pot washer, a prestige position with hidden benefits and $2.25 per hour! I got fat there in less than a year.
