I leave for work tomorrow, have to wake up at 2:30 in the morning to catch a flight. SMH.
Im gunna try and do some light work in the neighborhood tonight. I’m not really happy with my Load or miles for this week, but I might not be able to.
Anyways. The podium is up for grabs, unless I ride with Lester on sunday I really don’t think I am getting anymore miles this week.

Clickbait-y title to an email: "Twelve Wines Under $20 That Are Veritable Steals"
I thought, "ALL wines that are LITERAL steals are under $20."

Hard to tell you for sure without seeing a bigger pic of that specific area. Just a guess...It might be from when they graded the area to build the road that the bike folks are standing on. In the cut/fill process for creating a roadbed through hilly terrain, sometimes you need to grab some additional dirt from somewhere, and hill adjacent to the work area is a typical source.

I saw a guy on a recumbent trike this morning, crossing a wi-i-ide intersection, from a stop, up a slight hill. They're not very fast off the line, are they?

"You called; what's your emergency?"
"My watch called you because I fell but I'm ok.
"You sure you're ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
"You must have fallen hard for your watch to directly call 9-1-1."
"Well, it was on ice and I'm fine."
"ARE YOU SURE/"
"Yes, thank you for calling me back."
"One last time, do you need assistance?"
I finally convinced them that I'm fine and they hang up. I tell my wife about it and that I'm going to disable fall detection. She objected.
Anyway, I wonder what parameters the watch uses to go direct to calling 9-1-1.
