There's a good story behind the pony. Years ago there was one of those threads where guys were talking about what to ask for when they join a team. I said I wanted a pony. So when I won the NY Spring Series Pcad got me a pony.

Whatever happened to the old Pcad? Is he still around, or has he wandered off to find some new targets to call fred?

the year before it was the same as the CCC crit, and the year after it was moved to downtown redmond. i think there was also a crit course used in the old mill district, too. anyway, it's possible those crashes your year caused them not to reuse that one.

Can someone look at my garmin file and try to fix it? My edge lost satellite right at the end of my ride and screwed things up. I upload it to Strava (gasp) and it shows as being uploaded March 5th 2019 (although it counts in my July totals) and the elapsed time as [TABLE="class: unstyled, width: 444"]
[TR]
[TH]Elapsed Time[/TH]
[TD="colspan: 2"]40993:56:23[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]
Its screwed up in WKO also (although I can fix it there). Overinflated TSS because of all the extra time at the end.

This woman was pretty good in the mountains but some of the faster guys stayed ahead of her. She rides like she's doing intervals all the time.
There was a current pro climbing specialist with us a while back and nobody in our club could stay with her that day.

Also, I finally posted some rarely-used-now wheelsets on FB to sell and the first question is always "is there anything wrong with them?!"
Because selling bum wheelsets on FB with my real name is a surefire way to simplify my life.

On yesterday's ride I got passed by a old VW-dunebuggy thing and heard a metallic clank on the ground. I thought they threw a beer can at me, but as the dune buggy went by I could see all sorts of mechanical pieces falling out of the back of it. They were stopped up the road about a quarter mile. I wish I could do a good Nelson ha-HA because that's exactly what it called for.
