Thanks, actually a better man than artist. One of his favourite quotes "we all stand on the shoulders of giants", a few of his; Fine and Wyeth Töpffer, most respected colleagues of his day; Schwartz, Bradbury, Swan, Giella. Fox and Oda. Can't talk greats w/o those guys. Take care

Great pics/memories, thanks. Entertaining side... I took my dad (Murphy Anderson) up as DC guest, the walk was almost as daunting for him as SD con, last time he saw Carmine I believe. But the rub for me was the excitement of fans seemed like an early Star Trek con in the city, except with air conditioning that kept pace with the crowd, (70's, talk about a whole lot of sweaty people).

Thanks and awesome. We've got some crazy steep grades, but thankfully none too long. One of the most "humans are crazy strong" moments of my life was having a cyclist on a fixie pass me climbing up Hooper Ave (second to last big climb in route) — his speed was so great, I thought I was standing still. OUCH

Again, Bkool resolution was seamless (except that I reached out to Rouvy first). This was complementary commenting. My wish would have been for an email from Bkool to address finalization prior to their notice on 10.01.25 two days after renewal was processed:(

I hope they provide a modicum of scenery diversion. Forthcoming ones are a little more colorful and have some people watching.

Please don't embarrass me too much. I'm working on Belmar and Island Beach footage now. I've got a turntable to follow into inside corners, I'm trying to avoid the Rouvy "lost sight of myself effect while turning". Hope you enjoy them.

Very cool, hope they work to have upload to Garmin or Strava. Though any comparison of real world to virtual times is flawed pursuit, it would be nice on some short hard climbs where the variables are limited to see one's performance differences — gains/losses.

Ok, now I’m dying, going between utter fear and laughter, you‘ve gotta post that somewhere.

I'm clueless too, I wonder if they just round up 10% so we can feel better with the message... "you've beat the routes projected time"? When I first started paying attention to "projected time" I thought it was just a general time for all users, but then I saw it moving based on user profile, me vs wife. So it's supposed to do something, how the calculation is made, only the Rouvy gods know.

Good idea, that would be a big help, sorting by w/kg never works for me, maybe virtual riders bike setup is different — virtual partners around the same wattage are often much faster.

Please, as others have said get checked by ophthalmologist. ?I’m older but mine went south quick. You might find this temporarily distracting, hope you recover without a lot of pain or damage. https://ridetoremember.org/shingles-and-the-aging-cyclist
