First commute of the year! Finally the rain stopped and the temps got over 50°F (which is my bare minimum for the afternoon). My commute home is expected to be 40°F so let's hope I'm wrong. 12.6 miles with 627 ft of elevation.

I really need to look at the climb portal before selecting. Anything over 15% for me takes the fun out of the ride. #zwift #CotW #ClimbPortal #CotedeDomancy at 100% Elevation in France

13 more days until my work shift flips from overnights to day shift and I can't wait. I will enjoy these 14 weeks until going back on overnights. I find riding #zwift before work is beneficial, even for just 20- 30 minutes gives me energy during work.

Don't forget for everyone doing those big rides today to clean your fans. #zwift

In Shrek, Lord Farquaad was a cruel character with huge insecurities, xenophobia, was deeply prejudiced, deported those he didn't like, and desperately wanted to be king. Donald Trump is President Farquaad. His administration is a horrible joke.

Anyone notice ERG mode acting weird after this last update on #zwift. Wild fluctuating watts even on flat roads? It is making zone 2 an exercise in concentration instead of just spinning and enjoying my music. Spindowns not helping.

I remember the days of living in Saugerties NY and picking up subs by bike. Best half mile rides ever.
We live on the edge by taking our bike through the drive-thru window at our local Thai place

It's not #Christmas until I have to use my expert level #McGyver skills to repair some cheap Chinese decorations my wife buys. I still love her though.

All tax breaks to these companies straight to the wood chipper!
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

Deleted my Twitter/ X account after Florida man got elected the second time and came here. Finally proof of what I (and half the planet) always suspected.
Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

Delete your account.

I see what you did there! Lol.
First off, my suspension has ended. Got a little harsh with a post a few days ago but I didn’t have my feet on the ground and I’m sorry if I offended anyone. Will try to be more chipper. Knock on wood!

Once you understand that Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel is just a character played by Nick Kroll, it all makes sense.

@resortsworld.bsky.social the food court cooks are up to 25 minutes to cook a damn burger.

We are at 20 minutes for a fucking burger at #ResortsWorlds #Monticello.
Went from 6 people to 2 on the grill. #WTF

58 degrees outside, nice for Nov 5th in the #HudsonValley. Good day to take down #Halloween decorations so naturally I get stung by a wasp. Good grief.

So today's recovery ride with Jacob was interesting. This is what happens when your #wahoo element takes the day off by show N/A for speed and you let your #Fitbit charge track your #cycling. What a hot piece of garbage Fitbit is for this.

A letter from war torn Portland Oregon, truly heartbreaking. Please pass along so others across the world can see how bad it is🤭

Indicting Letitia James and James Comey,

Doesn’t change the fact that trump is a convicted felon (34 counts),

Convicted sexual assaulter (1 count),

and

Is in the Epstein files.

Don’t be distracted.
