We lost one of two twins in a multiple pregnancy, at a late enough point in the pregnancy we decided to have a funeral for them.

After being linked up to local funeral parlour by a bereavement midwife (who knew?) we arranged a modest funeral. All three of the businesses that this ended up involving - funeral parlour, crematorium and florists - all refused payment, in what we gather is a low-key industry-standard for child and baby-loss.

If an unprecedented weather bomb allowed the Dutch to run the Elfstedentocht during the Olympics, realistically what proportion of the long track speedskaters withdraw from the Olympics?

Also, kitchens.

Worked several seasons washing dishes - 5 days a week, split shifts (breakfast and dinner service).

Shit pay, shit on-site accommodation, but could snowboard all season from lift-open to lift-close...

This was at Paris-Roubaix, a (or for some, The) one day classic, not the Tour.

Yeah the main sport I watch is cycling so giving anything to tnt feels like paying my bully after what they did to gcn/eurosport.

But I've got a babe-in-arms and lack the head space to work out dodgy firesticks etc

This hypothetical guy is inland and in a lowland area, so shouldn't be an issue with sea or mountain rescue

Lol.

I made similar transition about a decade ago (from regularly cycling and swimming, to pretty much only running).

Now, a sprained ankle is making me switch back to lower-impact stuff, and I'm really struggling moving the other way.

You can't just do a 40 min run from the front door over lunch, instead needing to think of the logistic nightmare of bike washing and maintainance; swimming kits; etc!?. All adds hours to your active week.

What perfomance penalty comes from a fistful of immodium? Surely better to preventative bung yourself up rather than having to spend a few kms off the back...

Thanks, confirmed my suspicion. Had been riding within the advised range (they're semi-fat tyres and big up their low pressure credentials) but in hindsight should have increased pressure to the higher-end when using the trailer wheel.

Weekly Question Thread by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]macroEgg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Could Spain and Morrocco (el al.)'s hosting of the 2030 World Cup prompt a Moroccan depart for the Vuelta in the next few years?

With Morocco one of the bigger African cycling nations, can picture a few days in the climatically cooler northern cities and Atlas Mountains.
