In debating between a trainer ride or a bundling up for a cold ride outside, I decided on another latte.
....for now.

Speaking of covid my younger brother got Covid as of today. His wife, as you might remember, had it a a week or so ago. She went back to work Tuesday. That time-line sounds sketchy.
My older brother is still recovering from his prostate surgery. They opened him up from the stomach. He he has an incision from his Johnson up 8 inches to his belly area. the worst part is the catheter.
Meanwhile I'm the same which is to say...

I think I'll spring for a SUB when I get that procedure, seems like it would be doable after a couple weeks.

I don't think I can get Mrs. GeneJockey to agree to a direct drive trainer, sadly, so I think I need to source another rear wheel and cassette.

Ohhh, sorry to hear. Hope all goes well. 3 months sounds long, but what do I know?

On my wheel on trainer I had to really tighten the roller to keep the wheel from slipping and I think the deformation heated the tire up way more than normal.

Just to make the comedy complete, I had completed the medium effort, and cut at least 2 seconds off my time, and I was about 2 "miles" from the long sprint, and...
I FLATTED.
That's right. I flatted on an INDOOR TRAINER. I started feeling the tire slipping, and I thought, WTF? Sure enough, the tire was squishy. A few moments later, I could squeeze the sidewalls together. A few moments after that it was dead flat. No *BANG!*, no *FFffFFffFFffFFff*, just went flat.
I can only assume that Fate doesn't want me to do this ride tonight. I'm sure as hell not going to try again at 11 PM!!!!
