My bik did that for his entire career, also beginning in the 70s.

I just sat at my place in band, where I was before any of them came along, and observed what I saw in front of me.

They're the ones that changed their colours. If they wanted not to be noticed, they should have left the hair the way it was.

Killer Z race this morn, "Epic" series, 80 km. A lot of low gradient climbing back loaded on a 40 km course (Makuri 40), 2 laps total. I ended up 5th/26, 12 other As on the start line.

Pretty tame first half of lap 1. Into the climbs, I put in a big surge at the base and am holding 5-6 w/kg going up. I was hoping I would force a selection, but I didn't... the group just kinda ramped high 4's-5, then reeled me in when it flattened out. Damnit lol. I'm kinda cooked going over the top and into lap 2. Some beast of a dude is just crushing solo on the downhill, and two others bridge to him. Nope, not me, I'm trying to survive and thinking of quitting lol. But I didn't.

I sat in and focused on fueling and hydrating and my mentality improved over the next 20-30 minutes. I was ready to crush again in my chase group of 4. Another rider and I dropped the other two on the climbs, and then finished together more or less. Killer workout. Did some zone2 after and caught up on some work emails for a total of 3 hrs at 200w (3 w/kg)

I flew internationally with multiple cardboard bike boxes, even before they were called regular luggage. Every time I went in prepared to pay whatever they asked. Every time I paid nothing. And almost every time I was flying out of IAD.

Ours cost about $100. And here we are, 35 years later.

I figured you must have been sitting behind them with nothing else to do. Cataloging was kinda neuro-atypical, though.

EDIT: Do the trombones and tubas sit behind you? You could change your hair color to give them something to think about while looking at the back of your head, like those nice clarinetists did for you.

Our daughter eloped. The mother of the groom couldn’t handle it and threw an expensive shindig further on down the road.

Avoiding an up close and personal "What Kind Of Bear Is This?" game sounds like wisdom.

Maybe get a Monster energy drink logo cut into his hair too.

I have been spending some quality time in the Valley of the Sun, but rolling back up north tout suite -- supposed to hit 106 today, and that's just nuts.

Wedding Wednesday at the iconic LOVE Statue.

2B or not 2B?

it's always weight.

it's the city of brotherly love. Who doesn't think of love when they think of philadelphia?

...and look, it's sunny.

Grass cutting activity achieved. I am not sure how many watts/kilograms I managed.

Interesting stats from Garmin on Age, Country, Time Ridden and much more, if you are into stats: Garmin Summary

Sounds like they banded together to make you annoyed or uncomfortable. Did you say "Hi" to any of them?

Chimes and vibes. And yes, we do sit there unoccupied for blocks of time while the woodwinds and others try to figure out their parts.

It couldn't get much better than that, especially if accompanied with a mullet.

Photographer is showing some butterly love.

When you race, what do you set your Trainer Difficulty to? I used to race at 100%, but things like the kicker in Downtown Dolphins would have me out of the saddle pouring out the watts, burning matches on every lap. So I'm curious, especially whether you just set it to zero on TTs so you can simply put out the same power throughout.

The woodwinds are probably sandbagging, trying to delay the moment when the trumpets come in and blare into the back of their heads.
