given that just about all my aunts uncles cousins are from the philly area....that guy would be dead.
Whatcha say there, Joe Bikers! Happy Monday. You are all beautiful.
There is a thread in the roadie forum with some good discussion about this (see the pain cave thread).
It's a matter of preference. Zwift is good if you want to ride with or against other virtual riders and earn badges and whatnot. It's very interactive. TrainerRoad is good if you DGAF about other people and just want to train hard and get faster. I prefer TrainerRoad. I use the phone app and pedal in front of my big fuckin' TV while watching Marvel and Star Wars.

Exhausted, but got the car done and survived 90% of race day.
Looking forward to a quiet week now...

Back at work after three days of lounging around on a houseboat on Lake Roosevelt. Fortunately only a 3 day work week before flying back to Denver to pick up the Goddamn Campin' Van ® and traipsing around the west for the rest of the week.
i almost never drink espresso after lunch time, but today was just one of those days. it is particularly good too I might add.
Going through some very heavy shit right now. My friend had another seizure today, fell down and hit a tree with her face. She is losing a huge degree of cognitive function, and it is torturing her. She told me she has all of the supplies to ‘check out early’ (her words), she is trying to figure out a timeline to do so. We called the suicide hotline, and are rearranging things to be with her for however long she needs. Apparently she has been carrying ropes in her backpack.
This is very scary, and I have been a puddle for an hour.
Sorry to vent, but this is helping me to collect my thoughts.

Go team!Got home around midnight... really could use some coffee now.
first off - you are doing the right thing trying to get her help, and by staying with her.
second is she getting the help she needs to diagnose the seizures? are they the only issue or a symptom of something else? to the prior point, if there's no possibility of reversing the loss of cognitive function, you may want to help her make sure she has her affairs in order.
older dude turned 16 today. grilling steaks with some family friends tonight. trying to get some work done. moderate success is moderate. also getting ready to propose i go to snowshoe for a weekend in august to the wife. fingers crossed....

pass that boy a beer!
She has been to the best help available in the world, multiple Mayo Clinic’s, surgeries, therapists, money is no object. Going on three years with nothing but progressive decline. She can’t drive, and is trying to get a divorce. It’s pretty rough.
that's rough, especially given the care access available.
One of our foremen bought a new street-bike on Saturday, wadded it last night and ended up in the hospital with a compound fracture to his femur. Motorcycles on the street sketch me the fuck out.
he quickly learned the 2 types of motorcyclists

Usually when you hear about a guy ending up in the hospital within 24 hours of buying a bike it's his first bike, but this guy has been riding street bikes for years. No word yet on the details of the crash, I kind of suspect he was baked, but don't want to judge too harshly too early.
Sorry and good luck...
Thanks, JBD. Currently I am researching coping tips and programs for Alzheimer’s and Dementia, a lot of new stuff to learn.
Check you pm
UC Health at Anschutz has one of the best Neurology clinics/research facilities in the world. If she's not going there already, she should be.
I always thought that if you are traveling on a roadway and the speed limit is 55 by default. That when you come to a bend and the sign says 35. You can drive 55 into the bend if you feel you can make it safely at 55. It was like a heads up or something. Sheriff said no. You need to slow down.
It's a quickie trip to the city. Fly in late thursday, Friday morning get a ride up to Loveland, then, in the words of our resident gin-n-gummy expert:
For prolly Wyoming and then Idahooo.
Probably for the best. Nobody rides in Colorado any more. Too crowded.It's a quickie trip to the city. Fly in late thursday, Friday morning get a ride up to Loveland, then, in the words of our resident gin-n-gummy expert:

Wow, that is super-harsh. Really sorry to hear it. Not sure how I would start to deal with such a thing. Just best of luck, and I hope you can find some effective medical and social support!
The ones that crash and live vs the ones that crash and die. He is lucky to be in the former
You grind your own?
Those who have come ashed and those who have yet to crash.
My company has a laundry list of motorcycle accident patients. Woof.
Apparently making pickles again tonight.
You planning on riding in these parts?
