I'm pretty sure that hind legs on dogs are stronger than the front.
70/30 split methinks.
Nice and sparkly crisp. No rain, no wind.
Tomorrow however, is a deluge and that means I will not be going to Weegie land. Maybe Weegie land will be washed away just like the popcorn thread.

Hound walked, about to go and do some weights and text a mate to see if he wants to sell his IT 250 lunaticbike.
Pinno - I've asked a question about that T Bar thing on the turbo thread. How does it work? Are rollers that much better than a turbo trainer?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Rollers are all about high cadence.
Turbo Trainers give you variable resistance. I like the rollers for sheer souplesse and fitness - it's all high cadence stuff. If you are fit and not feeble like me, you don't need the T bar. In fact, sans T bar making those micro adjustments to 'stay on board' strengthens core stability and balance.
So given the room, I would have both because you can get quite a work out in 30 mins on a TT but I can sit on a pair of rollers for an hour or more quite happily.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
HD in bike riding shocker over the weekend! https://www.strava.com/activities/2020121650
Normality has now resumed and I'll be back to rushing about like a loon. One of our retired directors died on Friday so looks like a Christmas funeral will be on the cards, not great for anyone really.
Oh yes, I've got a chip timed 5km on the track tonight... Great.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Another day in the Kingdom of the Bland. What will I do with my bag of popcorn?
Today will be mostly pottering about doing random domestic chores (maybe from the list I have been given, maybe not) while steeling myself in prep for a late afternoon / early evening hit on a Costco to lay in the festive supplies. I foresee shopageddon ahead.0 -

Firefighting a bit in the run up to Christmas, but I reckon I'll have it all sorted by Wednesday.
Hoping that I don't succumb to Mrs H3's horrible cold, though it's more or less inevitable that it'll claim me just as I finish work.
Making sure my innards are a hostile environment for lurgy by tipping port & mince pies down my neck every so often.0 -
Small break in mince pie consumption. A Japanese guy who I did a piece of work for has brought me some "Tokyo Bananas" back from Japan in appreciation.
They are little wrapped banana shaped cakes filled with a banana cream. Really quite tasty, and a change from mince pies. 0 -

Afternoon fellow observers of the new PC correctness reich.
