You cray cray. It's probably going to be in the low 20s out your way Saturday morning. I may grind some gravel out in the Wissahickon on Sunday. The club is having an open house in Chestnut Hill. Supposed to get up the mid-50s.

Anybody know what the story is with the Zwift trial period? It says it's a 7 day trail, yet they also mention 25km, which I obviously burned through on the first workout, so it's says that I've got 0km left.
It looks like it's going to let me ride some more, but I have a small window to workout later this morning, so I don't want to scramble if I need alternate plans.

Really. My wife already got POd at me this morning for thinking out loud about revising the weekend plan without due formalities and anything else is just money.

We've had highs under freezing pretty regularly for the last 7-10 days. It got me pretty concerned about my winter prep (primarily the snow blower and an ice dam heating wire install), which isn't very fun when you're freezing your ass off. I had, of course, put off those things in favor of squeezing out the last road rides of the season, but it was looking as if I'd played it a little too tight. Looking at the forecast now, I'm seeing the prospect of sunshine and inching above freezing a few times in the coming week, so I may luck out. Fingers crossed.

So I was cleaning out some stuff from a box in my office and found this. Probably 1992 vintage at the end a two-day charity ride. IIRC, it was miserably wet on the first day. The second day I did the century route (that red ribbon was your century prize) and it was hot and humid, hence the look.

On the bagel front, genuine pumpernickel is far and away no. 1, followed by an everything bagel, then all the rest.
Like most humans I'm a carboholic.

Thinking of getting a single stage snow-blower, but also need a real chainsaw as there are about 9 trees that need taking out, including the one in the front yard that died from a lighting strike. Suspect that with the WAF / finances should only get one. The lighting strike is quite visible as it blew a 3" side strip of bark off the entire way from top to bottom.

Interesting. I've done some in the past. I have a photo but then I'd have to give myself an infraction.

Well, it's letting me ride Richmond (come at me bro @Dan333SP) while doing some interval work. And what is it about the prospect of sprint intervals that elicits a feral grin?

Oh please, both of you would snatch a Dunkin donut in a second.

We had some flurries this morning, first of the season, but just a shower.
