Still building back up. I’ll confess I enjoy early kettlebells & later rides- like it’s Winter already. I’m beginning to suspect that 48/16 isn’t 7th gear at all but a solid difficult 6th; I handled Newhall well & doubled Shelby even with some head-wind. It’s a mental quirk that makes me assign a 10 Speed number to my two regular ratios. 48/14 probably means in sprinting in an easy 8th.
Tornado Valley has more tarps on roofs than teams of roofers, but it’s improving. Some street-signs are back & there are more cars now parked in driveways. A resilient people.

I lost control of my FITIV app (which charts my heart-rate) on the phone but the Watch captured it.


Freaky Friday is a good ride at every distance so far.
