All Activity

Dipping in to the structured workouts on Zwift. What a cool tool. I like how they have little drills built in like working on different cadences or emphasizing different parts of the pedal stroke. Erg mode is also nice to get a feel for what it feels like to hold steady power, something I'm not that good at yet. I'm glad I didn't start out with this and just rode the bike for months, but I can only see it benefitting my outdoor rides.

New sponsor, new toys

Thanks for the smile! Beautiful & talented woman, and such a fun song!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Shelly!

Happy Birthday!

On the Sony side of life focussing is quite a bit worse on the F4 version of their 70-200 so I'd want to make sure you aren't losing performance there as the 1 stop loss isn't too big a sacrifice but if you can't lock onto the subject reliably the rest won't really matter.

Happy birthday, Shelly! (party favour noise)

A very happy birthday to you, Shelly! 😁

Happy Birthday, Shelly!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, Dr. Harvey!

Happy birthday, Shelly!

Happy Birthday Shelly - may all your knots be solved and beverages flow freely - cheers.

Have a great one Shel! Cheers!

Hope it’s an awesome day and much more!!

Pretty amusing how much F1 and the team leaders kept trying to tell us that the racing was great and we are wrong to criticize it. What a complete waste of a season. I worry this doesn't even come close to enough to restoring actual racing. It is just so bad right now. https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/48711882/f1-reveals-latest-tweaks-rules-2027-moves-away-5050-engine-split

Godspeed, Kyle Loftis.... Creator and host of 1320Video. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Houston Raceway Park, our 1/4 mile drag strip in Baytown that is no more during a Texas Speed Syndicate track rental. He filmed me making passes in my Challenger while I was getting data for the standing mile. He subsequently posted the vid which surprised me. Very kind gent with a genuine curiosity.

No other place to put this. Just fun with bassoons.
