Last night, I registered for the Belgian Waffle Ride (70+ mi "wafer" version) in San Marcos, CA on April 16th. This will be a MUCH bigger effort than I've made since I returned to riding 3 years ago, and I expect to be going into it not nearly as prepared as I should be. While it is technically a race, my only goal is to finish.

I did the first stage of Tour de Zwift last night. First time on the Canyon with the new "training wheel" after re-cabling last week. Now I feel really stupid, because the shifting was crisp and instant, with no adjustment at all when switching from the 'outdoor' wheel. I'm such a dumbass. I thought the slow drop to smaller cogs was an adjustment issue between the two wheels. You know, small differences in the spacing? Nope. I'm just stupid. Next time, I'll change cables at 4000 miles (real or virtual) regardless.
Same here. We got a brief bit of snow before the temperature started climbing. No winter skiing this year apparently. I’m more than a little peeved.

I thought I would miss the Home button, but no, not really. And the extra screen is nice.

Lawrence Taylor looked horrified. The tv showed it over and over and I think there was a lot of outcry which led to the broadcasts not replaying gruesome stuff as much.
I heard Joe Theismann didn't want to go into surgery until he watched the end of the game on the hospital tv.

Anyone here try the "lightest water bottle in the world"? I might have to get a couple. Disappointing that the weight difference of a full bottle will be negligible compared to my regular old heavy water bottles.

Looks like it's been raining in Nederland as well. She seemed a little distracted today.

Likely get some small bikepacking gear, just enough for extra set of bike clothes and bare essentials for travel. Details would be worked out later.
