Went spinning this morning and now trying to figure out some food for tonight and how to get the family into party mode. Have to find some fireworks too. Saying goodby to a good year with mostly ups but still adjusting to life in Denmark and how to find the right balance in life not sure if that ever ends. Happy New Year!

:stupid:

We got many forms of precipitation in one day yesterday - rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail. All that's missing is frogs and sharks raining down, what a fitting end of this year. One more call with a hiring company today and I am d.o.n.e. with '19.

OMG hi LMFAO!! I worked an 18 hour shift yesterday, went home for a few hours of broken sleep, and am now back in my cubicle prison cell. I knew the long work day was coming, so at least I was able to brace for it. Looks like today's run will be on the treadmill due to the aforementioned ice world outside.

New Year's party tonight, and I'll be surprised if I make it to 10:00.

I'll probably miss the true fun as I'm going up Saturday (@stoney you going to be at Copper +/- delicate hands?) but still should be ok and a half.

When is this Copper half day about which you apocryphally write?

I really hate NYE. I have no reason to stay up and don't care, yet, somehow get obligated to go to another lame party. I'd rather just go to bed at a reasonable hour and get up early to go ride or work out tomorrow. At least I have the next 5 days off. Been hustling in the garage the last couple days.

Just spent $70 to ski on a molehill with my son. but it's better than not skiing on a molehill with my son, so I'll take it. Nice fresh snow too, Happy New year to me!

Do you take orders? I'd happily buy one again. And need a new sticker for my fendah.

Somehow I am in a le depressed mood, realizing I wasted a year of my life working with bad people and having accomplished little progress in skills that matter to me. Oh well, on to 2020.

Ain't that the truth.

I did not ride a bike in 2019. Not one single ride. I will have to remedy this in 2020 to help maintain my sanity in this godforsaken place.

Living on the Shore in Florida is it's own influencer for Riding Stats. 2019 Elev. totals are 14000' for 5 rides in New England and 14000' for 140 rides after that. 3x the mileage and then some. Going average for Gravel/Mtn has been 1000-1100miles / 100000' (no chair riding). 3600 / 28000' comes across as weak if not for learning to adapt to all drop-bar riding positions.
Strong finish today - 1st entire ride Aero on the Hoods for 22miles/21.2mph/336w(429w weighted) Is difficult for me to get 21+mph averages solo.

A long way behind my annual goal of 3650 miles and 500000ft of climbing.

Looks like I'm at 3044miles and 364000ft, not including a dozen or so days of DH resort riding.

Hopefully better numbers in 2020.

Finished my year with 3065 miles of biking, though most of that was on the road so it doesn't really count. 2100 miles of running and 177 miles of swimming to go with it.

My goal for 2020 is to buy a new MTB and ride it.

15 more days on the bike would have gotten you there, I reckon

Developing flexibility to hold the TT style aero position is a power saver. About this time 3 years ago I did the same loop for the 1st time in the drops.

Also had to battle the wind everywheres, likely why the power nos. are 40 watts above my 1hr avg.

I have no idea where I am
Only rode 37 times this year. Hiked 61 times though. So when I do throw a leg over the Spitty I have all this fitness that I should not have for as little as I ride. Hehe

Another older, local, mountain biker recently kept saying what a commitment it is to thru hike the A.T. And I mentioned that some quit their jobs and sell their homes. But that wasn't what he meant. Realistically I don't have that many years left of being able to ride trails aggressively. Probably not going to be skimming the tops of rawks at age 60. So I am giving up two of those years to do this. Commitment.

Happy New Years

Hope ya'll reach your goals next year.
