You can have it. My hip was sore for like 3+ months after my mishap in February on a big ice patch (from runoff onto a road).

Not much of a fan of the virtual power thing (dumb trainer power curves) on Zwift. Pretty far from being accurate or even consistent... but I suppose better than nothing.

After work rides are done for the year. Weekdays will be done on the trainer and when nice weekends come along I'll get outside.

I believe it's in my contract that I must finish ahead of the guy directly behind me (MaxPower jersey), or suffer extreme taunting in perpetuity. I don't know him personally, but he's apparently worked at several area shops. Everyone at the races knows him.

I'll ride outside, if it's not way below freezing with fairly clear roads. I just won't be on the Allez. Probably use the Frankenbike.

I think I'm going to swing by the LRS (Local Runner's Shop) on the way home and price out some entry level running shoes instead of my big box SSO's (Shoe Shaped Objects). Not that I think my Champion's are garbage; I just think I should find something more in line with my high arches so I don't snap my foot in half (or whatever it is that can happen...).

Or take off the morning and work a half day. Great way to sneak in a ride and not miss too much work, unless you have flexibility with your work. Since I get off from work at 3:30, I can get home and on the saddle by 4:15ish and get in about 1.5 hrs before sunset.

We're already looking at 5 PM sunsets here in MN.

I don't have that much flexibility. I already push it by leaving at 4:15 and with sunset now around 5:00 that doesn't leave much time.

Yes. The point I was trying to make is although both in the Eastern Time zone, Boston sunset is at 4:35, whereas Indianapolis is 5:42, over an hour diff in the same time zone. East/West distance. The closer to the west edge of the time zone the later the sunset.

Got my current Asics from the latter for $28
