I droped a guy with an ironman calf tattoo on a TT bike today. That was nice.

Sweet.

That is changing though, and there will be more collisions until it gets sorted out. One of my last bike rides, I would have been head oned twice had I been in a car. Once by the police.

It's the downhills that pull the average up.

Calorie burn reported on a Garmin is worthless without a heart rate monitor or power meter.

BEAUTIFUL day to ride your bike here ya'll. Headed out with a couple of friends who haven't been riding much so are a little out of shape. But are great company to ride with and don't need to dither with extensive stops. Perfect.


We wound up doing 65 miles and 4500 ft of climbing. Just felt easy, no one pushed too hard. The best part was at the end- a 15 mile 2% descent which was into a deliciously cool fresh headwind. I just got off the front and hunkered down into the drops for 45 min of pedal pedal pedal into the wind. Sometimes I just don't want a draft, I like pushing into the wind on my own.


Anyway, just a perfect easy ride.

Just the power meter. Mine is useless with just the HR monitor. literally doubles the number reported with the power meter.

I can't decide if you people are a good influence or a bad one- the Garmin HR strap will be here on Tuesday. At least with Amazon rewards points, the technology I'll wear won't cost more than the bike :).

For the best calorie count, this may help. https://www.powertap.com/product/powertap-gs-hub

In all seriousness, yes, this is true.



But there have been a few alarming additions to my vocabulary :lol:.
