The downside of doing so many great workouts recently is that when I did this morning’s workout good and hard... nothing. TrainingPeaks gave me no love. At least it’s still good TSS.

Follow Rob Whittle @polkadotRob on Twitter. He’s quite the punster and pretty funny. He’s a cyclist with a twisted sense of humor.

My BIL had a two-seater ultralight back in their time. He asked several times to go up with him. I’ve had numerous small engines quit or lose power, so, NO.

I was riding in the desert with friends on my Maico 490 when the mainshaft in the transmission seized up and pushed the clutch out through the side cover. Came to an abrupt halt. We were close to a dirt road so they were able to get the truck and pick me up. We had to take the chain off to roll it onto the truck.
I read later that there was an internal power struggle in the Maico factory and one of the family members had sabotaged the transmission heat-treating process.

I don't know if it's one of the fabric-covered planes, but there is a biplane that flies over my house occasionally in the spring. It looks like fun, I'd take a ride in it. Also the stunt plane that practices in my area- it's a cool little show almost every weekend there's good weather. It's on the list to one day track them down at the regional airports and see if they take passengers.
