When in doubt, use Strava watts.

Oh and obviously east coast watts are better for the e-wang chart.

So basically you're at the bottom of the totem pole, being from Califghanistan and using 1970's tech and what have you.

Anyone have any experience switching from Sidi to Shimano shoes? I need a new pair of shoes, and I see the Shimano r171 in wide online for ~130..but the only problem is I can only find the wide shoes on the Uk websites. I can imagine it would be a pain to return them if they didn't fit..
I wear 45.5 sidi mega (and im pretty sure they are at least a whole size too big). Im having trouble finding anything online comparing the fit of the two shoes and no one around here carries Shimano shoes

+1 to wide Sidis not being very wide. Wide Sidis shoes are too narrow for me, but I am fine in a pair of regular width Shimano winter boots.

Saw this on Facebook about Battenkill:
"No annual license required, no one-day licenses required, no insurance surcharges, no junior gearing, online waivers, helmet required when racing only, no hassles. Enjoy"
Doesn't that make it a Grand Fondo?

I need a new job title at work. Was DBA, but now taking on other misc stuff within our tiny company, such as managing the desktop support guy, and gopher.
Gotta find a few key words to tack on after DBA.

Computer *****? Somehow, I've become my department's resident expert on a number of computer things despite being a luddite who doesn't even use a cell phone because I was the first to introduce these mildly innovative technologies into the classroom. Fortunately for me, we have someone everyone goes to for most everything else, but on certain things, I become everyone's tech support even though it isn't remotely in my job description and I don't get paid for it.

"Misc other stuff" is probably most appropriate, but doesn't sound great.

If its small enough, call yourself the CIO. Other than that, Systems Administrator is a good catch all.

The Sr. Developer and I are basically splitting up the responsibilities after the CIO left.

Went to meet the Parole officer of the person that hit me in July to put in a claim for compensation. Had to wait in the lobby with 20 dudes that were on parole. It was like a scene out of Oz, except like 10x scarier. The dudes in there were either built like linebackers, or had that ex con / Charles Manson stare.
I seriously doubt to see any of the money, and was hesitant on putting in a claim. However, The gun he's pointing in his Facebook profile pic is probably worth something.

My son (almost 15) has gone from "bikes are stupid" a few years ago, to now wanting to ride a lot. Nice to see. We did 18 miles on hybrids last weekend, and planning his first road bike ride tomorrow. Convenient that he's just a hair taller than me so can ride one of my bikes. Gotta get him some granny gears though. I had a compact crank hanging around, so that's a start.
Which brings me to ...... ordering a cassette, new tires and chain for him. Went to PBK first, coupon didn't work, so checked Ribble out of curiosity. Way cheaper, with no shipping ?! I was expecting Ribble shipping to bring it up to PBK total.
