  1. Part of our problem currently. Advancements in medicine and affordable healthcare have kept these people alive too long. These people will be rolling up to voting booths on their electric scooters and supplemental oxygen while pumped full of medications for another decade. Old crippled people are miserable and miserable people like to make others suffer.
  2. I get the point, but I'm not concerned if an underwhelming coach, that may not even be a candidate, has that opinion. I'll wait to see if we can't land actual qualified candidates due to similar sentiments.
  3. Oh no, the coach that has been fired by his last two clubs in under 12 months on the job is off the table.
  4. I think those comments were pretty deliberate by Evenepoel. Trying to get Jonas to make emotional/poor racing decisions because it's needed for Evenepoel to have a chance. It won't work. Great question. Listened to a race recap podcast and they noted Pogacar eating on the podium afterwards wasn't common. I have no idea if this is true or not. If so, might indicate he didn't get his fueling right that day.
  5. I live in CO and started MTB again last year. One of my early observations was exactly what you shared above. This last winter I realized I didn’t want to go 5 months without riding while trail conditions weren’t suitable. Borrowed a friends gravel bike and got into that. Bought a gravel bike to add to my growing collection this spring. Mostly ride gravel or non technical single track on it but occasionally do group road rides in the mountains. Yesterday was a doozie, 62 miles 6.5k elevation gain up to 11k feet.
  6. Seems like a good week for updates. Since I was 30 I have a history of pretty big weight swings. At 5'8 I've weighed as much as 186 lbs and as little as 153 lbs. After a decade of these swings I swore I was done with them the last time I got back to a weight I was happy with (155). I was able to sustain that weight for two years but a health issue last winter combined with some bad lifestyle decisions saw me gain 13 lbs in 4 months. So, this January it was time to get back to work again. As of this morning I'm back to 155 and honestly the process has been much more enjoyable than the past. I use a diet tracker and food scale, track my protein and fat macros, and find workouts I enjoy doing. In the past I've done paleo, keto, low carb, etc. I've also done workouts I thought I should be doing but always dreaded. Obviously, that hasn't been sustainable. Currently, I rarely feel like i'm dieting most days. I enjoy the food I eat and workouts I do (cycling/hiking). The only major sacrifice has been to cut back on drinking which, at my age, I needed to anyways. Don't really have a target weight in mind any longer. I'm just going to keep on doing the same thing and see where this finally plateaus.
  7. I would speak to your physician about that. If anything, evidence shows poor quality sleep can lead to obesity. Perhaps you need to make some adjustments to your CPAP or look at another model.

    Those are all great spots. Picture of rig?
  9. One of the biggest gravel bike races in the US, maybe the world, took place this past weekend. It is an absolutely brutal race attracting some incredible talent globally. Valtteri Bottas finished 33rd in the men's 100 mile race. That is an insane result against some elite amateur cyclists. Trying to train for that in the middle of the F1 season is also mind-blowing.
  10. Probably a lot of good deals coming up for racks on Father’s Day. I have the Thule T2 XTR and happy with it. Very solid, stable, built in locks. The nice option, I believe, with 1-Up is the ability to add additional racks onto the 2 bike setup. This would be a nice feature when I carpool with people and need room for 3-4 bikes.
  11. Memorial Day weekend check in, hope some of you are riding too. I've been fortunate to ride a lot of good MTB destinations in Colorado the past year, Buff Creek near Bailey is the best to date. Beautiful scenery, well maintained trails, a ton of flowy fun. The first 4.5 hours today were the most fun I've had riding. Unfortunately, we rode 6 hours including ~3800' of climbing. The last hour was miserable and pushed me to my limit. "Come ride part of the race course with me" really meant lets ride 90% of it.
  12. Any details on the crash? And yes, heal up quickly.
