Probably not actually trivial, but being able to ride on the turbo today.
First time pedalling since I got COVID, mid Dec.
It's just a hill. Get over it.8 -

Part of an office training course on security was about not giving info to competitors. Accompanied by a photo of a TTT. Eh, that is the opposite of competitors. 🤣The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
