San Francisco - Day 7 (Sunday)
And so we are done. I will make the day recap pretty tight. We woke up just before 6, grabbed a quick shower, and made it to the airport by 7:00. TSA was almost nonexistent, took us 5 minutes to get through. Found the gate, got some food & coffee, and settled in for the long Newark-based delays that started adding up. We were supposed to leave at 8:55, but I think we finally left at 9:50. The first thing of note was this sweet luck. An empty middle seat:
Major score here. On the flight I read last week's NYTimes magazine and 150+ pages of the book I am on. Did not connect to the wifi, as I had no real reason to. It's been a good week of almost zero work. It's been nice.
Had a small snag in the middle of the flight. Tried to enter Toronto air space and they said they weren't ready. I had never heard this happening mid-flight before but at this point, pretty much nothing surprises me on these flights. So we circled a bit before we entered their air space. However, going through it in reverse is something I don't think I've ever experienced before. But like I said, whatever.
Overall the flight was uneventful. And late. 5:20 eta, 6:40 actual. Uber home, immediately left to drop off Julia at her mom's then went food shopping. This, plus the weather upon landing, really put the cherry on top of the idea that we're not in proverbial Kansas anymore. Wow the weather here is atrocious.
The End - The Wrap-up
For comparison, here is the travel map with colors. This was all yellow when we started. Non-yellow colors are the things we did.
Green: attraction of some sort
Pink/red: Ice cream/chocolate
Blue: Food
Brown: Coffee
Purple: Biking/hiking - Muir is off the map.
Orange/red: Hotel/house
In the end 44 of these icons moved from yellow to non-yellow. That's a packed week!
This was a good week, and a great halftime to my year in a sense. It's almost the midpoint of the summer, as well as the midpoint of the biking year. It was good to take the week off from the bike. We walked a ton, so it wasn't a totally lazy week. It was also our first-ever totally untethered vacation. Last year in Seattle was mostly so, but we stayed with D's brother so there was some "home base" there. This year, we were totally on our own. 7 days, 6 nights, with 5 full days in the area. In all this was a success. Also, it wasn't cheap.
Ok for @MissJR - I think this is some sort of the Best Single Day in San Francisco. Since money is an object, I will make this realistic. This is also not perfect, as I do not think this is possible in reality as outlined here. But it's pretty close to possible. If you plan ahead enough, you could drive it but then you miss that last ferry ride which is a neat last leg of the journey. Note that if you do drive, Muir Woods requires reservations to park.
* You should get an AirBnB in Oakland, near Jack London Square, if possible
* Wake up early and start the day at Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland. DO NOT WALK HERE!
* Find your way to Muir Woods. This is the answer to your question: "What was the best thing to do?"
* Do the hike we did. Pack a lunch and eat it up at that overlook
* Take the $3 shuttle back to Sausalito
* Ok here is where it gets harder. I know you can rent a bike in San Fran and ride it all over, but I don't know if you can get the bike in Sausalito and ride it to San Fran. If you can, I would do this, making sure you take some time at the Golden Gate Bridge. Being on the Bridge was probably my second favorite thing.
* Assume you end up at the pier area. I think you are probably close enough here to walk up to the Coit Tower. On the way, stop at XOX Truffles. These are amazing!
* Enjoy the view from Coit.
* Walk down to the Ferry Building on the water
* Stop at Humphrey Slocombe for ice cream. Get 2 or 3 scoops. So, so good.
* Take the ferry from the Ferry Building to Jack London Square for $7.
* Eat dinner at Dyafa - Arabian food, fantastic.
As you can see, I tend to gravitate to the things that are part of the natural geography. Muir is amazing in its geography, The Golden Gate Bridge obviously spans an iconic waterway with a view of the city & Alcatraz, and the Coit Tower sits stop a natural outcropping with a great view of the city. Twin Peaks is also cool but honestly there's an 80% chance it'll be in the clouds.
I also like food & sweets. We did not go to Brown Sugar but it came to us very highly recommended. The truffles, ice cream, and dinner were all excellent. I also picked up some fresh roasted coffee across the street from the truffle place. I cannot say if it is good or not yet. I never found an amazing espresso, but most of the ones I had this week were actually pretty good. You could stop at the Exploratorium on the pier to grab one at the attached building. But you can probably also get one in Sausalito, among other places.
@rottin' - in all the food situation was pretty good. The kids are now pretty much old enough that we can always find something for everyone. It wasn't an issue at all this week.
Ok, that's about all. Summer Vacation 2018 comes to an end. Hope you enjoyed!

Ok, that's about all. Summer Vacation 2018 comes to an end. Hope you enjoyed!
I mentioned yesterday that the San Francisco trip was a halftime of the season, which means the second half started yesterday. I got on Zwift both yesterday and today, the weather being what it is. Yesterday was good for 30, ok for 60, passable for 90, then drudgery for the full 120. By the end I was happy to be done. It was Richmond yesterday which is the worst world. Today was Watopia which is the best, but they changed the Alpe so my plan to do alternating intervals was scrapped and I needed to ad hoc the ride. I felt much better today.
Wait wait, intervals? So the Alpe is divided up into 21 sections and they used to have your PR for each of the 21 segments. They range from just over a minute to 5 or more. My plan was to alternate the sections, and I would hit every other one hard and then rest in between - the length of the interval would be semi-randomly determined by the segment length. Today I found out they no longer do the segment timing. I do not understand removing features. Even if only 8 people use it, you developed this so why scrap that work? Idiotic.
Anyway, wait, intervals? Ok fine, I am starting to work out. I mean, instead of just riding the bike and letting things happen as they happen, I am slowly going to introduce some sort of structured training into my biking year. I am not going full-regiment or anything, at least not yet. But I will slowly add some structure as I see fit. Tomorrow I'm going to formulate a plan for the next 5 months.
Again, why? Ok, so here it is. I'm tossing my hat into the CX Nationals ring. For a change they are in December, the 11th through the 16th, and they are a mere 700 miles of highway away, in Louisville, Kentucky. @seanrunnette sent me his cx calendar, and I was looking it over and realized that hey, this is something I can probably actually pull off. I mean, what the hell, why not? I lightly penciled it in and brought it up this morning at breakfast, and D was like sure, if you really want to. We'll need to see what life/universe/everything brings but when I asked Sean what his odds were of going, and he replied 1000%, I decided that I'd press the pencil more firmly into place, and hard-pencil it in. Sean says to use pen but pen is so, like...well, pen.
So there you go. I'm going to dust off the part of my brain that used to structure this stuff and put together something that maximizes my weekday rides in terms of training effect without compromising the fun factor on the weekends and/or group rides. I'm not going to let this dictate my social riding, and if I have to choose between JORBA Jam and a cross race, I'll choose JORBA Jam. My goal is to still enjoy life as best I can but to also try and whip myself into some form of race shape over the next ~5 months. Also, my aim is not to lose in Louisville. I am going to reverse the adage that "second place is the first loser" and make it, "next to last is the last winner". Let's hope I make it out of the gate.
So there's that.
Remainder of the summer weekends look like this. Now that I write this out, I see that biking is involved in every weekend thing we do. That's a good thing.
Then school starts again and cross season should be littering the airwaves. I have rejected all work travel ideas for the remainder of the summer. Last week I got indications that I would be going to Austin yet again, and I told them NFW am I going before Labor Day. Then they said they want to ship us to Austin again for the Xmas party. Sorry, I'll be in Kentucky. Today the client tried to get me to verbal to go to Seattle for training and I politely told them to RTFM where it says their training is remote.
We've also decided that next summer will be a Europe trip with the family. We're looking at 2 weeks to cover London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Luxembourg, and Paris. That'll be a wild ride. Yeah, we're coming down from the high of vacation, this is for sure.
The following year we are thinking the kids need to do their first road trip to the American Southwest. Nothing like driving 550 miles and seeing this out the window non-stop:

Remainder of the summer weekends look like this. Now that I write this out, I see that biking is involved in every weekend thing we do. That's a good thing.
- Nox this coming weekend with the kids, then my parents for dinner. We were going to go camping but you know what, we're both too tired and we need a break from trip organizing.
- Raystown for 3 days with @2Julianas and Mark. We'll be bringing our own espresso machine. And food. And civilization for that matter.
- Grasshopper kids race then who knows, maybe go to the beach.
- Drive kids to Canada, part of the way. Stay at Bill's cabin with Bill. Wake up early Saturday and climb Whiteface on the road bikes. This has been on my mental bucket list for years. We discussed hitting Thunder Mountain on the way back but it turns out that we won't be kid-swapping until Sunday morning so that's not likely.
- Cranks Weekend. I plan to ride every time slot that weekend. Friday, Friday night, Saturday, Saturday night, Sunday.
- Drive to Canada, spend 4 full days up there, hit KT with the boys on the way back. We're going to Burke DH Park for Zac's (late) birthday present then the next day I am going to drag at least 1 of them up the new secret awesome DH trail. I'll also probably wake up at dawn to cruise the park and get a little bonus KT action one last time. Such awesome. I will also try to ride the MTB up at Tremblant at least once up in Canada.
Then school starts again and cross season should be littering the airwaves. I have rejected all work travel ideas for the remainder of the summer.

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
I was telling Kevy that maybe a blog with numbers is needed again.
Last night the catering guy came over and we walked through some food options. It's starting to get real! Oh by the way the ring came in. Ended up a hair loose on her finger so it needs to be sized down. But it's real nice. And did I mention it's starting to get real?
Woke up this morning and after a 3 week binge of travel which included Vermont, Austin, then California, I got on the scale and have lost 2 more pounds over that time. I like to settle in from vacation for a few days before I get on the scale. Felt pretty this morning so I gave it a shot. Moneyball! Not quite sub-200 yet but almost there.
With that let's to a 90-to-180-degree turn and ask a hypothetical question. Suppose that you wake up early one morning, say a Wednesday. You go downstairs and you hear a mouse in the garbage, rummaging around. You wake up and find that the mouse is stuck in the garbage bag, because it is almost entirely empty, and the mouse is trying so, so mightily to get out. But it's just too tall for that little bugger to jump out of. Do you:
A. Take out the garbage bag, tie it up, and throw the mouse away?
B. Release the mouse, and allow it to continue to shit all over your kitchenware?
That's all. I was going to take a picture of the garbage bag on the porch but I forgot. I mean, hypothetically.
Work.
Since I have stopped playing Ballz on the phone, conference calls are often more boring than ever. I decided today I would take a page out of my old playbook and start doing puzzles again when I am on the calls. Here we are before my first call at 10:00:
And this is after the last call ended at 1:00:
Mind you, I am actually trying to participate in these calls. So not a bad bit of progress on the day. Also, got a call from the boss at 5:30 and I made dinner while we talked shop. Finished this and ate dinner right after we hung up:
I have no calls on the schedule for tomorrow, but I do have a podcast with @seanrunnette lined up in the afternoon. We have had 136 downloads since the last podcast. Damn, that's almost something.
So did I create a plan for training?
Yes, I started to:
Red is a hard effort. Green is easy. Blue is volume. For me, a good training plan has elements of all of these. As you can see, I am typically going to roll it out by feel as the weeks go on, which is why I am not so foolish to plan out the full 21 weeks. I have sliced these up in nice, standard 3-on-1-off capsules as the Joe Friel method would say. I have also toyed with the 2-on-1-off idea in the past, with you never taking the weekends off. So the 1 off is really just the 5 weekdays. In that setup you get 16 on, 5 off, which is pretty much the same ratio as 3-on-1-off. It's always a crapshoot/WIP to say the least.
Today I followed up yesterday's hard effort with a shot at the Alpe again and it kicked the shit out of me. By the end I was absolutely broke. I did a recovery drink when I was done but adding intervals is going to require me to add some better nutrition to this plan. Today I had 2 non-calorie bottles and a single gel. Not really going to do the trick. Sometimes you need to remember the hard way. Eg: today. I made it to the top, even if it did hurt a bit. Watched Vietnam Episode 3. What a mess that war was.
Today was essentially a simulation of the Whiteface climb Bill and I plan to do. That's why I have been hitting this hard at times. As @stb222 has pointed out in the past, I tend to like to mix the training in with real life stuff. As an example, we are taking the kids to Nox this weekend and I am going to drill them all with 15 second microbursts for 2 hours straight. You think that's too much? Also, is Nox going to be wet this Saturday? Asking for a friend.
No numbers yet. Numbers are for bookies. @pearl
My weakness is and has always been race starts, the first 4-ish minutes of the race. I can do big power. I can diesel my way through most anything. My cross skills are passable, maybe even almost decent at times. But my race starts have always sucked hog. Even when I was on the B podium a bunch that 1 year, I would try to combat this by blasting out of the gate then trying to hold off the bleeding for ~3 minutes and then settling in. I am going to try to address that this year by making myself more selection-tolerant, to use a phrase that @Delish might appreciate. As such, I am going to race start the crap out of my hard work days. And I will use the Zwift Borg race day option to do that.
Tomorrow easy day.

mouse goes in the garbage. Good chance it survives the bus ride to the dump and beyond.
Get a new housemate that would qualify for the Post Your Cat thread.
Allergies? Get one of those inside-out cats. This alien cat race is freaky.
Ring is a beauty. I heard MarriedCx has an endurance category for you.
Balloon festival is this weekend - in case the trip to NOX coincides with launch time.

Its cross season. Mileage becomes irrelevant. 3hr drives are like a trip to the grocery store.
3 hours is one thing, but 12 is something completely different.
Maybe I'm just a little tired of road trips with several 7+ trips already done this summer and one more coming up this weekend.
I'll be refreshed by December.

You wake up and find that the mouse is stuck in the garbage bag, because it is almost entirely empty, and the mouse is trying so, so mightily to get out.

A. Take out the garbage bag, tie it up, and throw the mouse away?
B. Release the mouse, and allow it to continue to shit all over your kitchenware?
The answer clearly is “C”. Deposit said mouse into the mailbox/mail slot of the obnoxious, know it all, holier than thou busybody neighbor of your choice...
The ring is beautiful BTW.

our housemate that qualifies for that thread is staying hidden, since he is afraid of mice (yea go figure . . . hes not mine, came as part of the package deal)
We had some mice move into our attic this past winter. I had to order humane traps on Amazon, and schlep up into the attic like five times per day to check the traps so the mice wouldn't get dehydrated or starve after they were caught. Then we drove them to the local park for release. This went on for like two weeks, and we relocated 7-8 mice.
So the answer is A, unless you have an animal lover in your house and she finds out. Then it's:
