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

Banana milkshakes are great.

And you can make banana ice cream from frozen bananas, no cream or dairy. It doesn't keep but it's really good to eat right away, I can send you a recipe if you want.
Thanks. We have and use a frozen fruit ice cream recipe. I might get it together to try some bread---I love eating it. I like them with protein powder and almond milk too. Blended of course. They will not be wasted. Then, in six months, we get to do it again.

And it cannot be used without the convection function? No reason you would want to do that if you know how to convert recipes from standard to convection. I'm just wondering.

There are names for most food involved injuries. Like the "ice cream headache" or "brain freeze".

But what do you call it when you peel a stubborn orange and your thumb hurts like hell for 5 minutes afterwards, and then maybe a little sore for a couple of days??

Whatever it is, I have that.

Regarding injury by peeling an orange and Nintendo thumb:

Several years ago, I got hooked on a video game where your character had to crawl a lot and you accomplished this by holding down the center mouse button with your middle finger. Gave myself tennis elbow and took almost a year to get over it.

I have no clue. Looks like we'll freeze what's left after we loaded up the housekeeper today.

True, but you have confessed to injuring yourself in a multitude of ways. I'd trust you with a bike, a blunt pencil but not a blade.

Not at all. This is where you take your newly trimmed thumbnail, and stick as much orange peel as possible up in there where the sun don't shine. Still hurts.

So I just had an EPIC MTB crash. 20 feet vertical down into a creek bed. I managed to keep the bike on top of me most of the way down, and keep the RD off the ground at the bottom, somehow. I rolled a few times on the way down.

So bike is ok. That's the important part.

The trails got 3.7" of rain last Saturday morning. A normal month of June is 3.4", so that was crazy. There were lots of new deep ruts all over the trail, and where roots were in the ground previously they're now like a 6" obstacle.

This was one of those, but at an area called "The Pit". It's kind of like a snowboard pipe, where it's super steep entry (vertical) super flat creek bottom that's dang wide, and then super steep climb out. But in the woods, so from the start you can only see about half of the bottom-- the climb on the other side is up in the trees from your POV, so it's blind. I get to the bottom and lose a little speed due to a mud patch, and then I start the climb up. This is an easy feature, if you lose speed you can normally power up the end where it gets less steep. Only this time I notice 3/4 the way up that there's a new rut, and I'm in it, and the root at the top is sticking out way more than I can deal with from the bottom of the rut. I stall out, get unclipped, but it slopes like a dome to the right where my weight is so I'm going over anyways. And then I start rolling and rolling and actually intentionally kept juggling the bike over top of me to save it. At the bottom I kind of land of my feet-ish, with one foot ankle deep in mud, my bike on it's nose in the mud, and the rear wheel in my hand. It's SHOCKING just how much thinking you can get done in one of those situations.

God I wish I had a video. It was like the one with @topslop1 on that switchback where he goes over and rolls, but I went another 15' down and it was like 55 degree steep to begin with.

So then what do you do? Well, I straightened my seat back out, and then made the hike back up to the start and did it again. Successfully... just 4" to the left of the rut did the trick. #ManCard

I think I'm ok. Maybe a back strain, a welt the size of a lime on the back of my left hand, scrapes on my elbows. But basically fine. And lots of mud on the bike. You know you had a good "digger" when you have to clean mud off your top cap.

First sailing lesson done. They basically pointed out the parts of the boat, how to get everything in to place and shoved us out in to the water. It was some good fun, but I'm too big for those little tubs - the kid doesn't come close to balancing me out, so we took on water on a couple turns and the boom kept brushing my head no matter how much I reclined. 'nother less in two days.

These boats are tiny - I couldn't possibly sit in a way that I'd be able to get my head between my knees. I'm almost laying down, back against one side of the boat, feet hanging over the other side.
