Just got back from an "interview" at a life insurance / pyramid scheme. It was 30 seconds one on one followed by a questionnaire and a 45 minute presentation. I was told to expect a call later this evening, but I'm thinking of just letting it go to voicemail...

Speaking of logic and buying bikes, I just brokered a deal with my crackbike dealer and @topslop1 for a much badder ass bike at only a little more moolah. They're taking $1500 off the price (
).
I love bikes plus. Half the time you leave that place you feel like you just stole the cash register.
On a related note I saw said bike at the other location over lunch today while they were getting ready to transfer it over to the other shop. It's purdy.

If you clicked on that article link of the cyclist in Sunshine Canyon yesterday, it's frightening to see his bike is in such good shape.

If that doesn't keep me awake it's time to pull over into a rest stop.

When I drove back and forth from college to home for holidays, it was about 14 hours nonstop. I'd leave at about midnight since I like driving on empty highways and that timed things to avoid rush hour for any major cities.
Still, it was hard to stay awake sometimes.

The car I bought at the beginning of July still has fewer than 2,400 miles on it. I don't like to drive long distances.

Some may find this helpful: When I have any kind of distance drive ahead of me, even if it's only 30 miles, I always bring along some munchies, as in nuts, or raisins, or a nut/berry combination. Munching keeps me awake. For truly long drives I also bring along some M&M Peanuts . . . they affect me like, I'm guessing, crack. I'm guessing.
If that doesn't keep me awake it's time to pull over into a rest stop.

Lol I didn't even ride with the group today, just met everybody for coffee afterwards after doing openers solo on the TT bike. I was riding home from coffee though and all I could think of was how much I like riding my bike.
"I like my bike. I like the way it feels. I like the way it looks. I like the sound my hubs make when I coast. I like the color. I like my brand new bottom bracket, boy the pedaling feels smooth now. This is a really nice bike path. Oh look at that, old guy on a bike, he looks really fit, that's great. Its a really nice day. Boy that coffee tasted good. It was nice to see everybody at coffee..."

40K TT tomorrow.
Probably. It might rain.
Coach suggests racing without data tomorrow. I understand what he is saying.
I am trying to decide how literally to take that recommendation...

How do you normally pace a TT, power? Have you ever attempted a TT effort without a PM or HR? I feel like you've done enough of them that you'd probably surprise yourself with how well you can pace on feel alone. Maybe not, I've done exactly 2 TTs so I have no idea what I'm saying.

I have set up two minimal-data Race screens in my Garmin:
1. Distance, heart rate, cadence and time
2. Distance, time
My normal race screen is: Distance, heart rate, power, lap power, cadence and time
We'll see what I decide tomorrow.
