What is to stop you from applying the same workout to the road? I only use the trainer if I can't get outside, either too early or too late in the day was my main reason to hit the trainer when I was in season.

2. Logistics. I have exactly two hours to get this workout done before I leave for work. On the road, I'd have to ride to/from the exact perfect stretch of road, the workout would take more than 2 hours.
3. Hypoxia. Some of the intervals are designed to make me hypoxic. Its a little safer for me to do them in the absence of hazardous things like pick-up trucks whizzing by at 60 mph.

4 days after getting my wisdom teeth removed I had my first real ride. It really sucks holding back while riding, I wish I could just power up the hills. If I push too hard I taste the blood seeping from the back of my mouth.
What can I complain about, at least I am on my spring break.

1. Personal safety. This ride started at 4:30 am, the sun did not come up until the end of the ride.

It seems like the galaxy S6 was so close to being something on a completely different level. They could of used the same dimensions but fitted it with a 5.3 inch screen. Put in a 3200 mah battery and make it something like 8mm thickness and not crazy thin, as it is 6.8mm now. A 20 mega pixel and 240 fps capability camera would of definitely stepped up the game. Also how hard is it to put a slot for micro Sd slot on the side, like the sim card?
I still think it is going to be an amazing phone, but I think they are just holding back too much.

Note works just fine with fingers only. You can feel free to lose the pen at any time and still have a perfectly usable phone.
I still need more time with a Note to see if I want one, but I still have plenty of time for that, as I'm gonna be carrying my S4 around for at least another year.

I wonder why Kent didn't label the captain's spot. They marked the copilot.
