Decided to hold off on the power meter for now (as HR is a decent fitness gauge), and instead snagged a project bike tonight (cheap $90 wally world thruster 700c fixie) as I'm in flatlands the next few months (Florida), and figure it would be good for guests who want to join me for a ride, or for rides to places where I'm not comfortable locking up my carbon fiber/ultegra thief magnet.
If I can get it tuned up well enough (at 29lb), and my fitness continues to progress, it might be fun to try to keep up on a group-B ride (20mph pace) with it.

My walmart fixie project bike arrived today, so assembled, rode, and found some well reviewed but inexpensive replacements for the crankset & brakes (brakes were awful, crank was plastic). Tires will be next, but for $150 all in (with the replacement tires once the stocks wear out), it'll be a good alternative to my thief magnet for toodling around the neighborhood.

Replaced the brake pads and pedals (now spd/flat) on the fixie, but waiting for the crank puller and new tires to arrive before going to much further on it (as I'm up to 31 miles so far). The weight and non aerodynamic positioning is costing me about 3mph vs my good bike, but at 1/25th the retail price, it is a good toy to have around, I'll feel better locking it up when running errands, and it should work for guests.
