I wasn't very hopeful about riding conditions today, but looks like it's gonna be just fine after a half hour to let that rain that just passed run off a bit.

no riding here.

you'd get hammered by a sidewing from the plows.

if I lived in town things would be different as there are flatter roads with more shoulders.

as I was driving to the grocery store I imagined what it would be like to crest a hill, see both an oncoming car and a bike right in front of you, then hit the brakes and go helplessly sliding forward.

I'll stick with the rollers thanks.

Cold and windy here with a chance of snow. But I'm still having back spasms so I'm not even using the trainer today.

On the ignore question from last night, I have only had 1 person ever on ignore and that is ichy. He remains so and I am happier for it. I have only opened one of his posts when I discovered he had a job.

Same for me, though quoting him and his ability to redirect all conversation make it difficult. The latter, primarily.

TSS = BikeScore

I'm new to GC and my BikeScore is zero. Do I need to set my FTP to have it calculate one? I couldn't figure it out, although admittedly I haven't tried very hard. If you can help, thanks.

That is what mental ignoring is for.

And regarding kuf's temp ban, she had it coming. She has been pushing all the buttons that lead to such actions. I still see a lot of inconsistent modding, but reading her posts over the last 2 weeks, I was not surprised

I was surprised.

if arguing were specifically bannable there would be few people left here.

McD's oatmeal report:

WAY better than those little bags of instant oatmeal. A good deal of fruit in there. I love oatmeal with apples, raisins and craisins in. Kinda small for 2 bucks. I have a feeling it won't have legs. I'll be needing a gigantic cheeseburger or plate of enchiladas by 11:00.

edit: photographed before taking a bite. That's how full it was.

Probably a safety thing. Everyone's gunnin' to sue McD's 24/7

I think I will stick with Cheerios, which lowers cholesterol. TV said so.

homebrew oatmeal with crasins and 8 toasted pecans for bkfast. Takes 10 min to make, and is superioUr to any other oatmeal.

And of course, LowCel and BillyD are exempt from any mod complaining. They kick ass!

Interesting spread sheet. It has coloUr.

It's actually very nicely done. Systemmatic and logical and without unnecessary complicated clutter. You should do some financial modelling for rjones, velo vol.
