It was a very rude welcome back from a rest week, @Heathpack. I thought I was going to pass out.
4x10' 40"/20" Z5/6 topped off with 2x10' 20"/40" big gear gear starts. On the 4x10's, I was told to shoot for 130w above ftp. Pretty close, I think, but it's hard to tell. It was horrid in a pretty good way.
Have I mentioned how jealous I am of your rides?

I am having fun noodling around on my bike this week, 100%. But I'm setting up a training ride for Breathless Agony for a week from Sat. That's going to be 30 miles continuously uphill. So I'll be back at it soon enough.

Idiot Emeritus
Sweet ride today, tons of wind. I mean crazy wind. Met up with a BF friend, @sarals, who lives up this way. I felt pretty puny yesterday. My puniest day after a big ride is typically day 2 and yesterday was day 2. But still, every time I get to puny day, I wonder if I've finally done it, maybe I've broken myself. Thankfully, nope. Just a strong and very fun ride. You guys who only ride 20 miles at a time are maybe onto something, you can for sure ride a little harder when it's a shortish route.
We went north up the coast, big whitecaps out in Monterey Bay today. Then we headed inland and rode in Fort Ord, which has a lot of roads closed to motorists. A little hillier there, mostly rollers, so not real long climbs. But some 10% stuff into headwinds, today was the kind of day where that seemed fun. Plus nice to ride and chat, meet somebody IRL after only knowing them online.
Oh yeah. And mile 8000 on Magic Bike today. I've said it before, I'm totally glad I bought that bike.

2015 Scott Scale, 1 x 11 Sram drivetrain, lockable front Fox fork, 27.5" wheels, slightly fredded down version of the hardtail that was ridden to the XC world title the last two years. Slightly under 20lbs with pedals.
After riding 26" wheel MTBs for 25 years, the bigger wheels make it a lot easier.

Still fat but getting thinner every week. Started riding daily 34 days ago, only 4 days off since then. I want to try to ride the MTB at least once a week in the woods. Helps your bike handling. And it's really nice out in the woods around here. Except when this happens:
That's Goosepond Mtn State Park, 4 miles from my house, that's where I ride on the trail, it's really beautiful there. Not too technical. They really do have some bears, but they don't chase people around in real life.

Since this is Church Month (?), here's my contribution from a recent visit in NOLA.
St. Louis Cathedral at Jackson Square.

Well it's been confirmed, 1 hour a day of moderate exercise ( defined as brisk walking) is the plateau at which further time and effort is of absolutely no benefit. Good thing the reason I do it is that I love it and how it makes me feel.

Ice cream is on every list of helpful foods. In fact, ice cream is the foundation on which the food pyramid is established. Without it, the food pyramid would be like a box of toothpicks dumped on the floor.

I detect you are referring specifically to rum-raisin. The bomb! And in Houston there is a gelato flavor, fig-almond. TDF. To die for, to die from, take your pick.

The important question about a day off is, "What's for lunch?" Priorities, man, priorities. At least tell me it will be professionally prepared.

So what is the caption to the cartoon with all the foods scattered around like toothpicks, "Ice Cream Shrugged"?
