hungover, not sure if/how long I should ride. I'll probably head out for 1-2 hours of randomness in a bit.
'tis the season to be lazy, fa la la la la, la la la la.

One of my five minute intervals happened to fall on a stretch of 1% downhill grade, which is my favorite favorite favorite terrain to put out power on. Just so much fun to ride fast. I finally got the QOM on that segment.
Yes, I am aware that getting a KOM on a downhill segment is essentially the same thing as saying "I'm fat". Whatever. It's still fun.

Ride a little and see how you feel. Then you will be happily surprised I bet at how good it feels. You'll probably report back that you rode 80 miles.

I'm going to Home Depot or some local nursery later to get two large houseplants. It's going to make the space very nice.
I've been in the same 1br apt since October of 2012. When I first moved in, it looked like some bachelor pad, with tons of bikes and beer bottles lying around in living room. I've since moved them into the bedroom w some vertical storage.
Now it's clean, regularly vacuumed and looking good with some plants, a real piano (just my digi one before), a nice A/V system and some framed paintings and pictures. If you stepped in you would have no idea that I'm a cyclist or a complete degenerate .

I've been downsizing lately, too. Just delivered a multi-thousand dollar trike this AM to a happy gentleman. Now, if I can just get rid of my pristine fixed gear... (52 cm - $250) <hint - hint>

I had a couple of Palm products before the phone. I think the first one was an m125.

Dear @PepeM,
I have a confession to make. I love that Pactimo jersey but I'm not sure it is my 100% favorite over my hot pink Rapha lightweight souplesse jersey. They both fit perfectly & look sharp.
BUT the Rapha jersey has a little zippered pocket for your coffee money whereas the Pactimo does not.
Therefore I think the 100% love goes to the Rapha jersey whereas the Pactimo only gets 98% love.
Whew, I'm glad I got that off my chest.
Cordially,
Heathpack

What does the poke - stop mean? There's one near me. The cops had to kick hundreds of players out of a local park. My understanding is that you don't get any rewards or prizes?

um...
I passed my evaluation. With flying colors.
My evaluator is the Vice-President of Operations of USA Swimming. A wonderful and very down to earth man.
He wants and I emphasize wants to see me on more National Decks.
It's going to be a long, sleepless night.

Apparently you get pokeballs which help you get more Pokemon. That's my understanding. I don't play, though. Merely observing.

I should invent a virtual Donkey Kong app, you have to run uphill and jump over barrels to save the girl. When you see kids running around and jumping like maniacs next year, you can say you remember when datlas got inspired.
