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

Would I complain? No, not a complainer.

If you are an Apple Watch user, please read this other post as well. As I will explain below, data automatically collected by the watch is of almost no use, and you need to take your measurements first thing in the morning (please see also this blogfor a deeper dive into the topic of night HRV data)...

"Despite the fact that no third-party app can control the Apple Watch or take an HRV reading, the Breathe app that comes with the Watch, consistently pushes HRV data to Health every time you use it.Hence, you can, as a matter of fact, trigger an HRV reading using the Breathe app first thing in the morning, and disregard the rest of the data that is automatically collected."

I take an HRV measurement with the Apple Watch Breathe app, first thing in the morning, seated. I ignore all the other HRV data the watch collects.

Right, I’m not using the apple data just the garmin data, was just sharing an observation I had.

Just a staycation. Mrs. GJ is out of town visiting friends in SoCal, so I'm just taking Rango for walks, doing a bit of yard work (when it's not raining), etc. I'll probably do some medium length rides later in the week, if it stays dry.

You know, people pay good money to come to the Bay Area on vacation.

Seriously, though - when I'm working, by Saturday my mind rebels against having to do anything. Then Sunday, I ride. And then it's Monday. But if I take a week off, I might actually get something accomplished.

Or not!

I have a large collection of both schrader and presta caps and rings in a drawer of my small parts storage cabinet. I’m in there frequently

Don't encourage him. Next thing you know, he'll be driving to Stinson Beach and posting nude selfies as he runs into the surf.

The water is 56 degrees at Stinson Beach today. So, no.

But not ruling out a warmer day!

Some years ago, my wife were walking down the beach at Stinson. It was September and the water and air was gold. We were wearing jackets. As we got to the south end, some guy runs out from behind a rock naked as a jail bird, and jumped into the surf. Frggin nuts!

When I was a kid, the folks next door had a pool, one of only two in our town. Their daughter was the same age as my older sisters, and she taught swimming every summer. Mom signed me up. That pool was unheated, and it always felt cold to me. I would do what she asked, then hop out and huddle under my towel to warm up. Mind you, I was a skinny kid, no insulation.

My LBS owner didn’t believe me so I asked for a cap and did it right in front of him. He was gobsmacked.
I didn't get the memo about flipping it upside down. Someday I'll try it again, armed with this new information.
