I'm still having trouble dealing with the new thing where you have to choose your activity before starting on the phone app. I'm used to just tapping again to start but now that usually puts me in a CANOE!!! Then I have to angrily stab the screen again to start

Busy day yesterday. I got up early and met three friends in town, we rode to a local 50-mile benefit ride, did the ride, and rode back, for a total of 90 miles. I know we shoulda made it a century, but 90 was enough...then took mrs datlas out for lunch and korean grocery shopping, came home, planted 6 tomato plants in the garden, mowed the lawn, picked up daughter #2 at friends house, did the regular grocery shopping, made dinner for both kids, and phew! I was wiped out. Slept like a log.
I would love to ride again today, but rainy weather plus Mother's day means not likely.
p.s. I almost forgot, I drank my 355ml Mexican Coke at dinner. It was fine but I don't know if I am going to run out and get any more. Water seems the ideal drink for me.

Tomorrow is the last day we won't get above 90* for the foreseeable future.
Overnights will be a minimum of 70* as well. #summeriscoming

I was feeling low energy today so I decided to go for a walk for exercise.
I was on the sidewalk along the main road and a woman approaches me.
"I was driving by, saw you limping along, and thought I'd pull over and say a prayer with you."
And she did.
That was interesting. Beats being yelled at.

Super nice of that lady to have such compassion for a stranger. In some other places, walking around limping is sure to get you mugged.

You might want to check with the water czar on allowable quantities.

We had to sit through an hour of GDPR training at work in advance of the new EU regulations regarding data privacy that go into effect later this month. It sounds to me like Strava has changed some things in order to comply with the new EU regs.

I had a partial hip attack Thursday night, and was still not back to normal.
Or pre-hydrate before rides, so you don't have to carry unnecessary water on the bicycle.
Did Strave really change that much? Or are its terms more explicit now?

Speaking of Garmin uploads, any of yous GPS-less Addicts interested in a 310xt (sans strap, with quick connect)? A full battery still has more than enough juice to cover a century+, it's prolly more accurate than your phone and you won't have to burn through phone battery on rides. The main downside vs phone is that it doesn't upload automagically - you have to get it within range your networked PC with ANT+ (I can send a dongle, too). No charge - I don't feel like dealing with CL, so if you want it, PM me.
