Just got the merch catalog for Newport-Bermuda 2022 in a race update email and was slightly tempted to order a nice sweatshirt, but with the continuing COVID ****storm I’m worried they’ll cancel again.

on my paternal grandmother’s side I’m a descendant of a tea party participant (can’t remember who) who subsequently fought in the revolution.
The rest of me is Hungarian, Austrian and German. My great grandfather snuck out of Hungary during WWI and emigrated here. His first wife and two kids were to come later, but were involved in a ship capsizing so stayed in Hungary. My dad’s cousin has of yet been unable to track them down.

Down to 159. 4 pounds to go for my goal.
Raised my EFTP to 235 according to intervals this morning. I still think it’s higher but i’ll take 235.

So this morning I am locked out of pages 392-394, but not 395. I am the victim of a conspiracy.

One challenge that you may have is that, although it's very flat in W'burg, there's lots of undulations and it may be tough to stay on top of the pedals when you crest a gentle roll and come down.

Steady 30-50 mph winds, gusts to 60-75. Hope the stuff in the yard survives.

Thats what I was focusing on today, as far as the rolling terrain. Whenever I had a descent, no matter the size I made sure to keep the pressure on the pedals.
I’ll never understand how my unit when I stop will show an average speed of 20.3 and average power of 236 but when it transfers to strava it subtracts.
For once I want to see it add. Is that too much too ask?
