I was riding the Bianchi mostly then, with its FSA crank that has a wide Q-factor. Then I upgraded the Ritchey with the 7410 Dura Ace cranks with a really narrow Q-factor and mostly rode that, and the pain went away.

The scientist in me said I should start riding the Bianchi again to see if the pain came back, but discretion is the better part of valor.

The difficulty has been in getting an exemption from a 2 week quarantine. Update statement of qualifications, host company sends letter to Korean government, Korean government approves and informs Chicago consulate, need to send pre-purchased airline ticket and hotel reservation to consulate exactly 7 days prior to travel to the consulate who will then approve and send to the Korean government. Korean government will then send exemption e-mail to me (?). Then on arrival will be required to be tested, load an app and then be quarantined for 2 days.

Added to this found out I will eventually need to drive...luckily jobsite is not near Seoul....which means need to apply for a rush International Driver Permit. Adding to the excitement is that my Passport expirers with-in 6 months of travel which can cause problems such as airlines not letting one on the airplane. Normally we could rush a Passport application within 1 week, but with Covid 19 looking at 4-5 weeks.

All of this for the opportunity to work 14 days straight at a minimum of 10-12 hours per week. Luckily I do like it over there, with getting equipment up and running being especially fulfilling when working with people in their home countries.

Mine was a non-issue on the bike this afternoon. But if I sit in a chair for a while, then stand up, the first few steps in particular are like "wut".

For some reason, I was under the impression some countries required you to pay for a funeral prior to entry. I know some airlines are now offering that service.

What a great time to be alive!

My company has to pay lodging fees while I'm in the government quarantine facility, but that is it. If test positive then it is two weeks in country treatment - not out of the possibility as my boss is now in isolation after testing positive last week
