I never thought about that. I just finished my first bottle of Naproxen. I wonder if that affects me? Heh, Bicycle is a poor man's horse. I go bike riding in the fall and I come up on horse camps. Oh man, there is an unrealized ambition.

I think about this a lot. I know disabled kids whose parents weren't up to the task, so those kids end up with a grandparent. We know how that lifespan equation works out. I think about not having an heir and the possibility that I might have a legacy. If I put some money on a kid I was especially fond of would wastrel…

@RangerRickL ... "visit some day." Hey I can wrap some fun around that idea. I know you are a guy that knows how to get to and from Aspen. That is all well and good. If I think real hard I might be able to remember a place that time forgot. ... Hey, I know of a road that your kids and grandkids might not find too…

Exercise was left footed today. Got reasonable climb to 2,000 and some. 2 hours 12 min. 13 miles. Mr. Wizard is only giving me 1000 calories for that effort. Not much traffic. Guys in a dodge going down. He was kind of stinking his brakes. Smelt that for 2 minutes. Hey, you guys know how to get down a hill without stinking…

Epic fail day for me was a few days ago. I didn't exercise or barely exercised then somehow talked myself into a 25oz beer. That devolved into crackers and peanut butter and that devolved into in the shell peanuts. Man o man. We got tortilla chips somewhere. My wife hides them. She will dole them out a serving size at a…

@fitqueenbess Heh, I didn't know where that door went.

Yes- yes- yes- (unless I drink beer. Lucky me I don't have any.) I tried to get exercise today. I guess I didn't do too bad. Only 592 feet climbing. Mr Garmin gave me 670 calories credit. That is for a truncated bike ride. I had a flat tire at minute 30. That is just past the cave parking lot. I debated whether to fix it…

Heh! You and me both. I struck out a few days ago. I am not going to abandon the plan though.

Oh, November NSVs. I guess I am talking much longer term NSV.

NSV, I don't know. I still have some t-shirts that are large and x-large. If I wear those I look emaciated. Geesh, I am a medium now. Wedding band, that poster talks about that. I changed back to my small one from 20 years ago. My big one falls off. I will have minimal exercise today. I am still going to count it as 20…

I am still hanging. Got 1,900 climbing yesterday Total so far 11,600 November climbing merit badge... goal 26,400 days left 16 wife wants 3 for skiing days left 13 I don't think it is going to happen but I'll figure out some way of having fun.

The deciduous tunnel. Well there are actually less leaves now. A couple of weeks ago maybe. The cult of the climbing road. I love going here early.

@RangerRickL "... dressing up for exercise..." yeah, that will get me on a tangent. These days I been wearing street clothes but I got plenty spandex. On a practical side, some of my spandex has extra padding built into it. If you saw my bicycle saddle you'd get it. I don't think I ever have to worry about anyone stealing…

A little bit early for me to be chiming in with my report as in I ain't had supper yet. 1)yes 2)yes 3(yes But I have already struck out for November so I am somewhat lacksydaisicle. I went for a bike ride this morning but I didn't feel like getting up early or going anywhere so I just rode around the block a few times. So…

1) yes 2) yes 3) yes Did some yard work and some walking. Thoughts went back to the 60s and early 70s. Remembering my Father. He did some heavy lifting in the Pacific some 60 years ago.

1) yes 2) yes 3) yes Back on track with a 2,200 foot (1600 cal) climb this morning. I got there at daybreak, well, a little too early actually. I had to wait a bit for it to get light enough. It was cold. 32 degrees at 6,000 feet. Colder higher. I put on an extra layer of syntho fleece. Climbing and producing heat not a…

Cold ride. Did somebody say cold ride? I went out this morning at daybreak. It was like 32 - 33 degrees. Cold if you ain't working but for climbing cold is ok. Descent is a different story. Puddles in the potholes had thin ice on them. So I climbed like 2,200 feet in about 1 playlist plus a song. 93 maybe 95 minutes. I…

Methinks I struck out for November. I am going to try for back on track tomorrow. Here is my realization. I do want to change my eating habit especially with respect to down exercise days. Why? Because as I get older down exercise days are going to increase and come closer together. Ugh. Yesterday I ate double my calorie…

Embarrassingly massive pass.

If you are descending here and swing that turn too wide, you go off of a cliff.

I looked at buying it from Amazon. I am going to take a light duty day tomorrow and read it. I think my max heart rate is normal. 220 - 63 = 157 or so. I seldom hit that. Only in spin and I don't stay there long. The time I stayed there long I found out why it is a limit. It caused me kind of scary problems for several…

That incident, was it night or dark?

I climbed 2,000 feet both today and yesterday so I am at 7,650 for Nov. so far. Roughly 19,000 to go for the Strava merit badge.

Hairpins and switchbacks

1) yes 2) yes 3) yes MFP is giving me credit for 1700 exercise calories. That kind of almost doubles what I can eat today. That is presumably GPS based estimate of the work involved in my 2,000 foot morning climb. My Sportline HRM is giving me credit for 1,127 exercise calories presumably based on the work involved at…

..

Heh, or should I say man o man! MFP is giving me credit for 1700 exercise calories. es

Little bit early for me to be turning in my ... 1) yes 2) yes 3) yes But I am way under budget and not really hungry. I weighed this morning and am happy. I rode my bicycle up a big hill. Got like 1500 cal for the effort. Seen my old buddy Leonard up there. He is in good spirits and good health. Didn't see any wildlife…

Got me another 2,ooo foot climb today. That puts me up to 5400. Going to 26,000. I need 20,000 in 24 days. Will he make it?

1) yes 2) yes 3) yes Had surplus calories. Got 353 exercise calories that seem a fair approximation. I just did flat track on choppy dirt that was somewhat rain compacted. Minimal climb. Saving myself for tomorrow. community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10472801/this-and-that#latest
