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

Food processors are great for pie crusts, though...

Also, was this a categorized ride or anything like that? The few times I've paid attention to the course/climb/sprint leader boards, the podium has seemed pretty well out of reach.

I don't wear a shirt on the trainer, but I'm the same - very sweaty inside but typically dry(ish) outside. It's totally evaporation outside - on those hot, multi-bottle rides, it's not unusual for my dark jerseys to be visibly crusty by the time I get home.
Yeah I was a bit surprised when I placed 5 on the leader board for that sprint, and even more so when I suddenly found myself in green. So I hit the 'take a picture' button, since it may never happen again!

It wasn't an event, but it was after 6:30 PDT, so I think that may be a low spot in Zwift's ridership. It's also how I manage to keep getting on the podium in crits. That, and I'm racing in the D's. Like the kid in Sixteen Candles, "Kinda like King of the Dip****s."

I start out in a jersey, because the garage is unheated, but when it's warm or I'm doing intervals, off it comes.

You do know those are mutually exclusive. A free range chook is an omnivore. It'll eat anything from grains, seeds, leafy greens, bugs, to possibly even small rodents. It may be fed only vegetarian food but that won't be it's actual diet.

Ha - yes, I know. I was being silly, but I'm 94% certain that I've seen those two things advertised on the same carton of eggs. Like you, I assumed that they just meant that the feed provided didn't have any meat/byproducts in it.

Eggs are fine in moderation. We are friendly with a family that have a farm about 10 minutes away from here and we get our eggs from them. The taste is much better than supermarket eggs.

Maybe they meant they were only fed by vegetarians.

Mrs John worked at a middle school which had a small farm and she got free eggs every week. She said they were better than the store-boughts.

I'm just flying in one evening, and taking the depo the next day with a flight back after I'm done. Quick in and out.

They'll barely know I'm there.

Almost everything is. This is what drives me buggy when I see people post, "Carbs are poison!" or the like. You can eat too much of anything, and you can certainly eat too much of everything!
