You should have seen me before I started cycling, which is also one of the reasons why I ride anytime I can get my hands on a bike. I didn’t start this sport to race, never in a million years would I have ever thought I would have done a race and done decent on top of that.
Prolly close to my heaviest.

Adulting properly now. Nicely done, and nicely doing.

That works. I would make sure your recovery time between sets is enough to get the work done.

Update from my friend regarding his bike theft. Apologies as it contains one censored word and might be treading on P&R:
Assigned detective was in court all day yesterday, off today and tomorrow, not back in until 3:00 Thursday PM. I’m told no one else can do a ******g thing, only the assigned detective. He has not responded to any emails or phone calls.
The bike is being moved between several properties in the same block according to my tracker.
Moral of the story: City of Phila is open for business (if your business is crime)
I told him that is ridiculous but unclear if there is much he can do about it short of going to the actual location of his bike which as we discussed is tempting but risky.
Sad.

Question: Is the locations the bike is moving a particularly dangerous area? Could he go and just watch? I don’t know what good that would do but maybe get an idea of who actually took it. Cyclist, cat collector, hooligan, etc
Has he called the pawn shops in those areas to be on the look out? Has he checked facebook marketplace? I think you can put an add on there for BOLO, also craigslist.
Just my 2 cents.

If it isn't far I would at least go by there and look around. Don't have to confront anyone if it seems risky.

Ordered a Force AXS pull off groupset yesterday. I don’t have anything to put it on yet but there are several tempting options out there
Emonda SLR w. RSL bars for $2900
Time ADH w. Deda stem and Superzero bars $3000
new Cervelo soloist frameset (now with T47BB) $2700

Sucks, and I retract my previous statement. I would not go to the location of the bike if I was in Philly.
Question: Is the locations the bike is moving a particularly dangerous area? Could he go and just watch? I don’t know what good that would do but maybe get an idea of who actually took it. Cyclist, cat collector, hooligan, etc

I would hold off on the emonda, The new one will drop soon.
My vote would be the Time. Those bikes are timeless. They hold the essence of what a bike is. IMO.
Man if I had a Time shop in my area instead of a trek shop my garage would be filled with Fusia Time Bikes. Maybe one Blue one.

Where’s Indy when we need him. He has the whole backing of the rail road behind him. I elect him to get the bike back.

Of course, that's a rough draft of what I would do. As the season progressed, things changed. TT time, I would head to the TT course, and do threshold out there on that bike. Hill climb time, I would head to the hills and do threshold at 8-10,000 feet.
Adulting doesn't suck, it just means you stay busier for a longer amount of time.
Thank heavens your inner adult doesn't tell you to sit on the couch, watch Netflix, smoke weed, and eat **** delivered by Door-dash. Weighing 300 pounds isn't adulting.
