Addiction 2021.4

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

I don't think it's scraping miles from the Strava API unfortunately.

I'm headed out for my second consecutive night ride shortly.

Correct. Not all the bikes can be in the house and not all bikes should be hung. That's why they made sheds.
