Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Weight is closer to where it should be, but my anaerobic threshold is too low based on how quickly I got popped yesterday during a group ride when the cat 2 fellas started attacking. Just can't sustain efforts at 95% max HR, especially in the heat.
Oh yeah, about that Intermittent Fasting thing...

Start with slow, easy rides.

King says he's waiting for new red hubs to come back from the anodizer. Could be here by the end of the week. But it could be next week. No road biking for me this weekend.

I'm working out with this Stevie Winwood kinda tribute wannabe band on Saturday. I'll only get better on electric guitar if I get into a full band situation, I've only been in acoustic duos. I have gotten to play my electric in front of rooms/crowds once or twice, here's one instance from 2014. Pcad guitar solo starts @ 1:35. Bear in mind I hardly get to play my electric, if I get into a band where it's all I play I'd get better fast.

I've been doing regular morning rides for months in a fasted state, some of which are hard. I think it was just the heat and distance, plus waiting until noon to ride. Lesson learned.

It was rehabbed 6-7 years ago, I just power-washed and stained it myself last summer, that only took THREE MONTHS. It was like scraping the barnacles off the U.S.S. friggin Enterprise.

I actually got some of the stain on the deck itself too.

That deck is 21 years old now, we replaced the surface planks on 1/3 of it last year, we'll do the other parts in phases over the next few years.
We've always stained it so it will probably last another 20 years after we re-plank the whole thing. The structural lumber underneath gets less wear and tear, and some
of it was replaced 6-7 years ago. Massive deck.

I thought all guitar solo's required the player to grimace like they were giving birth.

That works if you're a hot guitar player, if you're me you try not to draw too much attention to yourself and play incognito.

I always assumed it was very painful. That darn Prince used to make it look so easy, though.

Prince learned how to make it look easy from guys like Ritchie Blackmore, Frank Zappa and to a lesser extent, Gil Shaham.
