I don’t know how accurate these “watts” are but I imagine they are in the ballpark. My weight is around 65-66 Kg.

I couldn't weigh 65 kgs if I wanted to. I would be happy around 80 kgs, but winter wool is closer to 88

Finished up a fun commando ride through the streets, back alleys, urban trails, cemetery, etc. 55º which is a good 25º above normal. 4th ride this week and I think the coldest was ~40º and all have been in sunshine with little wind.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Did an outside ride today. First really nice day since before Thanksgiving. It was a "group" ride of about 20 people. I went WAY too deep in the HR zones. Like 50 minutes at threshold. But since I weigh so much and am so weak, I was still amazingly slow. Got 23-ish miles including the ride to/from the start point.
It was a blast either way and I got to connect with an old friend and get together for lunch afterwards, so it was worth the effort.
But it is interesting to see Strava's power and calorie "estimates" after getting in some work on the smart trainer. They are so crazy off. Makes me want to get a PM for the bike, but the I remember that none of the budget options fit on my frame/crank arm setup. That and I shouldn't take any of this that seriously.
And they may be fake miles, but thanks to zwifting, I've done about 79 miles total this week. That's better than the zero miles from the previous 8 or 10 weeks.

Today I drove a YouHaul full of stuff out to our new house at the beach, and we unloaded it this afternoon Painters are about 2/3 done repainting our house back in town, so we are actually a bit ahead of schedule. Getting a truckload of stuff out of the house helped the painters a lot in that it got stuff out of their way.
No Zwift miles yet this year. Loading and unloading a truck ought to count for something, but I don't know how to Strava it. Fitbit thinks I climbed 43 stories of stairs today - must have been a low-pressure front going through.

Trainer miles are people too.

Taking the edge off with this tonight. An Australian red blend. Prolly a Shiraz-Cabernet dominated blend. At first tasting, it is not a typical fruit bomb that many Aussie wines tend to be.
