Oh, I saw that brand, but didn't look in to them at all. An induction model isn't going to be any lower than Ultegra.
How big is that one? I ended up going with a 6-cup (prepared), which is on the smaller side, but I rarely make more than 1.5 Cups of uncooked, anyway, so I thought that it would be sufficient for 98% of our needs. The whole "rice cooker cups aren't Cups" thing is confusing, too.

I find myself irrationally excited about the rice cooker that I ordered yesterday, and which should arrive tomorrow. I only tell you this because Addiction is, supposedly, the thread of self-importance... but then again, how self-important can I be if I'm excited about a rice cooker. Now I'm confused.

I would assume that that's 6 cups uncooked, which would put that in the ~12 cup category, I think, since mine will take 3 cups but is a 6-cup cooker...

Oh, and no spoilers, but pros riding TTs? A magnificent thing to behold. 50+ kph? Absurd. Insane. Bonkers.

A 300 mile week is pretty rare air for the group. Maybe if bam had an entire week off, and enough leash, he'd be in that territory. Even if I have all the time that I want, I don't often have the desire to go much beyond 200, not unless I have a specific target in mind, for whatever reason.
We we’re planning a short tandem ride, tomorrow, but it’s looking like rain. May have to just clean bikes instead.

Or, if my family were away for a week, and I had nothing better to do, I might even shoot for 500 miles, just for gits and shiggles... but otherwise, 300 miles is a lot of time to be away from wife and kids.

Our rice cooker is a pan on the stovetop; sometimes it's a pressure cooker.

We had a game scheduled for Thursday but mercifully it was canceled. It would look really bad in the papers if we lost a couple of guys in the heat,

Today I went to the club ride start and went with the fast people mostly because my friend was going and he always watches out for me. On the 3 mile climb out of the valley my friend had to turn back, seems he bruised some ribs when he fell hiking. Ended up with 11 riders and after some sniveling I did better than I thought I would.
It helped that some of the others were struggling and the fast riders waited or got caught at red lights. It's been a while since I rode with them. I noticed when we were cruising along they would put the hammer down before a climb started so they were clear of the main group when they hit the climb and then they rocketed away.
Only 65ish miles and topped out about 95 degrees but some of them were hurting toward the end. One of the faster guys told me I did well. I'm not sure compared to what but I'll take it.

I might be a mutant. I really don’t mind riding long and hard in the heat. Today’s ride was fine, but I would have preferred a century. I took one for the team by making the ride shorter.

Back when I did long rides every Saturday Mrs John would complain if I came home earlier than usual. "This is my time" or some such.
