My company is headquartered in Rockville MD, and my boss made it clear he wants me to visit there about once a quarter. Since it's a couple hours from The Ancestral Home, I like to visit there when I'm Back East, but that means going for a week without a ride. PLUS, we're contemplating retiring in PA, maybe Pittsburgh, maybe Lancaster, so Mrs. GJ and I will likely want to stay in each of those cities for a week. It would be handy to have a bike at The Ancestral Home, so I could ride when I'm there, or take it along to Pgh or Lancaster.
Baltimore is a bit far to go from Rockville, though.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll fix the old Sidis and send them to The Ancestral Home, so I don't have to shuttle shoes from coast to coast.

For fun, you can see the pic below at the link below. The description says it would be "tricky" but there's the pic.

I eat pretty clean most of the time. Most weekdays, I have overnight oats with berries and hard boiled eggs for breakfast, a veggie sandwich for lunch. Some sort of nut butter based snack in the afternoon if I am hungry. Dinners are more variable and often less healthy, although I don't like heavy/creamy/greasy food and sauces as much as my wife.
I worked with a coach this year, and during my VO2 max interval block, he told me to sub my afternoon snack for a bowl of rice. I cooked it in coconut milk and added a little peanut butter. It felt excessive with the carbs, but I was spending three sessions a week doing VO2 intervals, and I executed them fairly well. Was flying after that.

I'll bet it depends on position as well. Like, mine is set up for never spending more than an hour in position. I can't see very far past my hands and have to lift my head up every so often to make sure I don't ride into something. The tighter that hip angle is - the more difficult. Taken to the extreme - IP/TP racing on the track. Basically no caution is given to the comfort of the position, since the event is only a few minutes.

I love ranch mixed with Ghost pepper sauce. I put it on everything. Hurts and taste so good at the same time.

I do. But I can't maintain even my welterweight status without bread, pasta, rice mixed in.
Not really.

Today was the first time since getting back in the saddle that my ride felt like the good old days. Sure I'm a lot slower but it just had a ho-hum another day in the office kind of ride. I'm not sure why that was.
It was much cooler and was borderline chilly. Only a 66 dew point.
15.12 miles.

You can eat anything you want so long as you burn it off. The more you intake the harder it is to work it off.

Went for a short ride at lunch to get food for my feline overlord. Saw a Delorean DMC driving the other way. It wasn't doing 88mph. Still unusual to see in real life.
