Colors boosted, but that’s the patina on my Bloodroot. Made from the springs of my grandparents’ wedding gift Studebaker.
Did always want an AS<3

Once you go AS you never go back! They are sharp as $h**, very hard steel, brittle and easy to sharpen.

first appointment was mostly an assessment. Once my awesomeness was confirmed, stretching activities commenced.
$72 per session will limit my patience. My first regular session should be less $ but they are an hour long so who knows. I'm at 20% coinsurance so the allowable charge should be less than $360/hour.

2. The only time I saw a physical therapist it was obvious from day one that it was "we'll see if this helps." It did not help.

Very humid ride with my Weds group. We have a new rider from Texas who cramped up at the end. She said she has no problem with the heat but apparently combo of heat plus humidity was too much. Even so, a splendid time was had by all.

That is really surprising. Without knowing her, I’d have expected the hills to be the issue.

I did my standard Wednesday loop from home, 27ish miles with 2500 feet of gain and a 9 mile dirt descent. It was so nice at the top I didn't want to come back down.

Nice! I overslept today and did not get up early enough to ride.

She said she is a runner too. Something about a 50K?

Maybe. We had water stops at mile 20 and 35 for a 50 miler so plenty of opportunity. Causes of cramps are tough to pin down but over-exertion plus heat are 2 common ones. The whole electrolytes thing is over-rated imo.

Hard to drink too much on a 50. I drank at least 100oz today plus pre and post ride water. I was out for 3+ hours. I think the only time I cramp is if I do a lot of climbing after not climbing for weeks. It's been a while.
