Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't quite get people's interest in "drops". I've got 6 million of them, and I don't know what I would do with them. My virtual carbon bike already has virtual Zipp wheels. My avatar still wears the same dopey "bee" pattern jersey I got when I started. I'm level 32 or something, and I don't see much point in any of the other virtual swag that you can get with drops. Or am I missing something?

On and off I do a climbing ride - usually a solo tempo or recovery effort - as I'm working on getting the "tron" bike, but I don't care enough to work at it steadily, so it's taking quite a while. Riding with pace partners (even Bowie) doesn't accrue much altitude.
