back in SF after a couple beautiful days in NYC.
the e-bike vibe is OK so far, did 25 miles at 90-95BPM, kept my output around 130-150 and let the bike put in around 50. a little more on some hills.

Also, the looks of eBikes sure have come a long way in a few short years.

Wonder how much it costs to ship a Saab 9-5 hearse from the UK to the USofA.
It's my new dream car and this one sold for only 600 pounds sterling.

Wind this morning was absolutely ridiculous. I didn’t even know it was supposed to be windy.
Anyways, zone 2 on the checkpoint. The last 10 miles was straight into the wind, most of that 10 miles was in zone 4 just keep moving forward. At 250 watts my speed was only 8 miles per hour. At 170 watts I wouldn’t be moving.

So, despite it being GENERALLY true that it doesn't cool off in most places until after 4, the fact is that where I was riding, it cooled off very noticeably before 4. A generalization is an average, and almost no distributions are single vertical lines at the average. I would note that where I parked my car was in a flat area, not at all wooded, and indeed it cooled off significantly LESS during my ride.

One rider whom I dropped repeatedly over a series of stop lights grumbled something suggesting he thought the Canyon was an e-bike. Indeed, the down tube is not much smaller than that one.

yeah, it's over once it starts to solidify. It's really hard on the equipment. I just gotta htfu and stay in it till things stabilize. It's just frustrating sitting there waiting for things to stop so it will unlock and I can pedal again. Was my first time doing that workout. 345 watts for 10 seconds, followed by 225 watts for 3 minutes. For an hour. It's a tough one.

To beat this dead horse some more, it also depends on where in your time zone you are. If you are at the western most area of the zone you will have a later sunset. Trsnrtr is in the eastern area of his central time zone and it probably is as dark at 4:30 as it is at 5:30 in my neck of the woods.

At the I-90 rest area of Lookout Pass, which sits on the border, a maintenance worker pointed out the tree the time zone line passes through, and he told me they keep their clocks on ID time.

Unfortunately that video wasn't shot in Marfa, rather Sealy, TX, pretty much the east coast.

There are two ways to do that. One would be to go back how it was till Standard Time was instituted, so noon is whenever the sun is at its zenith wherever you are, so it wouldn't even be the same time all the way across a large city. Or we could all go to GMT, in which case we'd lose all cultural referents to time of day, so things like a "9 to 5 job" would become meaningless.
Put me down as a no vote for either.
