So short as to be almost non-existent. Unlike more-northern climes, we flip between hot and cold airstreams. We can be hot and humid one day, then the next a polar vortex swings down and its cold and windy. Three days later another tropical push comes and its hot and humid again. The daily average temps over a month look nice, but it usually isnt, really.
Still better than -2* for weeks on end.

Back yard fires in the back yard are just fine, but I don't like back yard fire smells in my house. As far as asking them not to... no. First, there are multiple parties. Second, me asking people not to do something perfectly legal in their back yard seems a bit... entitled, maybe?

Ive always thought or the body like a bicycle wheel. It starts off in fine shape, smooth bearings, true, shiny, etc. and gradually, it starts to wobble or run rough and the mechanic or doc puts it right and it rolls on again until the next time it needs attention. But eventually, spokes break, races fail, rims crack, or whatever and the wheel has run its last revolution.

We used to do back yard fires whenever the stick pile got too big, but that was in a small town in PA, on 1 3/4 acres, and that backed onto fields and orchards. Nobody minded that. It was the dancing around the fire that attracted attention.
Around here, backyard fires are discouraged, lest they become your backyard on fire.

You smart physics/mechanical people help me out here:
If two people ae riding bikes at exactly the same cadence in the same gear wouldn't they both travel the same distance during a given amount of time?

Sorry. I forgot to mention same wheel/tire circumference.
I thought so, but I never completed physics. Some guy in my local club is claiming he got smoked riding with someone when they both pedaled at 90 rpm in the same gear over the same route. It's funny reading responses like "Weight could make a difference." While weight differences (and rider weight difference, and differences in aero properties) between the two bikes would affect the amount of energy required to produce the work, it would not change the distance covered over time assuming same gear, same cadence and same wheel/tire circumference. At least that's what my non-trained intellect tells me.
