Yep. Wholeheartedly agree, environment is crucial to ride aesthetics and personal motivation. Example: lived in Tsawwassen, could leave my apartment and be on quiet, farmy roads inside 3 minutes. Herons flapping out of ditches, a handful of like-minded t… »

Long solo rides can begin to feel like you’ve been dropped and no one gives a shit. Then you dwell on every negative aspect of your existence and consider chucking this stupid fucking sport of all suffering, and for what? Super cathartic to let that stuff… »
@DerHoggz Breakfast panini with egg/ham/english muffin. Carbs/protein/fat, not sweet, easy to digest. Worked the trick today. »

2 hours at or near threshold and that’s all I can pull out of my threshed brain. VSP PICKS (2nd Rest Day Swaps): 1. Nibbler 2. Cuddler 3. Uranater 4. Scarponier 5. Betancurryer »

I would have thought that too, but my home location regularly drifts in elevation as much as 100 metres. ‘Oh, right, -74 metres, that was when I chose to ignore the bridge and instead rode on the river bottom. Clearly, the virtual power figures were ‘way … »

Likewise, link fails to open. Bit worried about the work website, also a WordPress item, as I had one ‘unpublished’ bit of spam appear last week, particularly after the problems here. I’ve learned not to say ‘probably nothing’. Poor Marco. All too familia… »

@frank Had a tasting of this fine brew last Saturday evening, where it came up second against a 2007 Samichlaus. The Samichlaus is allegedly both the world’s strongest lager and the ‘world’s rarest beer’, which might be a good thing, given the Ministry… »

Bah, this f’n VSP. Shitheads hiding form and springing it on us without warning. ‘Mo-fucking-reno’, for instance. Bah. Fuck it! Ok, for now, at least, fuck it. Later, when I return, I’ll psychically divine the top 5 with nary a moments thought, I will. Y… »

Because, really, I do not know, at all. And even if I knew their current form, they’re women. Maybe they’re pms’ing, bloated, ovulating. Perhaps they’re too lean to menstruate. On the other hand, maybe they’re all on birth control. My research ‘there’ sug… »
