You are correct on all counts.

If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

Enjoy your steak knives.

Oh, I thought it was because of Durant & The Thunder.

Let's not get started about cheesecake.

My knees get weak and quake when it comes to cheesecake.

For all the dog lovers here.

Another cold ride today. http://app.strava.com/activities/43033779

Sent an e-mail to Garmin Support.

I am having issues with the 810 reading power (wattage) consistently. While climbing steadily I will look down and watch the wattage go from 300 down to 100 then back up to 300 (numbers are examples only). This is a problem since I use power to pace myself and to train. It is also messing up my average power and my normalized power.

Today I used both my Garmin 500 and the 810 on the same ride to see how much of a difference there is.

On the 500 my avg power was 154 watts with a normalized power of 212 watts. On the 810 my avg power was 146 and my normalized power was 199. In my opinion this difference is too much. I am including links to the ride with both computers.

I must be developing dementia. I was cleaning up my summer carbon clinchers, and I can't remember if they need that stupid thin spacer to be put on before I put on the cassette. I am running 10 speed shimano. Does anyone know an easy way to tell if I need the spacer or not??

I removed the cassette last fall and I just can't remember....

Yes, 10 speed needs the spacer, 9 speed does not.

This, except since I'm a chocohaulic, I'll allow chocolate, but only a small amount to accent the flavor

Well my Powertap hub **** the bed this weekend. Needs a new freehub body. 2nd one in 2 years, hope it doesn't have to go back for that whole $250 overhaul. That's ridiculous. That could drive me towards a crank based power meter like Quarq.

Climbed 8,241 feet this weekend in 79.6 miles with average temps in the mid 20's and snowing. I can live with that.

Rotated and changed my rear tyre. Whew, what a workout. Hopefully I won't have to do that again until 2014.

I last replaced a tyre on 23 Jan 2012.

My rear tire rotates every time I pedal, even sometimes when I coast.

So, Velo Vol, do you keep a log?

Decent weekend for activity. 55 Mile club ride yesterday...today did a 9.5 mile run and 1500m in the pool.

Too bad I still suck. The bike and run are passable, but the swim is weak. Gonna hit the pool again tomorrow after work.

p.s. also got some of 'that' activity in too !

I've been chronicling activities on a Google Calendar.

Warm and windy today. Nice day for a brick. 30mile ride and a 2mile run.

Wrong.

Spare us your pretentious spelling.

I see what you did there.

P-CAD cringes at the mention of spare tires. Go easy with that kind of talk...

Unreal...

Yeah, it's like an unfortunate movie premise.
