Heard from a good friend. He was driving back from FL on Sunday/Monday and got stuck for 13.5 hrs. in the I-95 mess.

One of the directors at the last company I worked for that is based in Nashville was supposed to travel there today for a leadership meeting that was essentially a show up or be fired type of thing. Luckily, her flights were cancelled.

yeah, I watch it, but these are guys I ride with all the time. We all know who's who and where we should be. I'll keep going for a bit but if it keeps happening I'll just stop doing it. It's way to frustrating. I ve complained to the leader before but I'm told, I'm doing it wrong. But no one can tell me what I'm doing wrong so I dunno.. .

Sad, but not surprising.

The ride leader was 2.5 wpk I had to go to 6wpk to catch him at one poin and was over 4 to stay with him. I didn't last long. The it was off the back, right through the group..zoom! I couldn't even stay with the other guys so I don't know what's up.

I operated vegas to dc the night before. Landed right when the snow was about to start. Rented a car and drove home, got in around 1:30 am. Thank God I dodged that bullet.

I’m at a loss. I mean, if you fall off the back you have to work hard but my experience is once you catch up you’re good as long as you’re in the right w/kg range.

Might it have to do with the terrain? And are all your parameters in your profile correct? One thing I noticed when I accidentally reset my height to 3 feet was that I had no problem at 2 W/kg keeping up with other riders putting out more like 4 W/kg, so the aero effect of height should not be overlooked.

Philly just implemented the NYC rule on Tuesday. If you want to dine inside you have to show proof of full vaccination.

There's a big difference when you look at hospitalization rate and death rate - TN's death rate/100,000 is nearly 3X CA's.

Do you understand the concept of layered defense?
