I really wanted to post something inflammatory in the WUOC selection thread, then this weekend's service was about using your words for good....damn it.

Biking 1:01:40 15.86 mi (15.4 mph) +63m
ahr:142 max:168 shoes: Long Haul Trucker
Return trip went well!
I think sub hour is possible with slightly improved fitness...although I'd need just about as many greens as I got today!
For next time, I should try to:
* lock my car at the office
* wear a helmet (that explained the cool feeling I noticed)

This was glorious!
My dream come true, since pitching a move to Plymouth.
Then classes got in the way. But today it finally happened: I biked home from work. On my new-to-me very lightly used Surly Disc Trucker, a steel touring bike. I don't have any of the stuff for it yet, like racks, fenders, panniers, etc. but it was good enough to get home with a light backpack.
I felt so good I did the slightly longer route through the Old Village, rather than the 50' of grass to Plymouth Road.
Pictures are of Wilcox Lake, with Wilcox coincidentally being my m-i-l's mother's maiden name. Not sure if related or not yet.
Tomorrow I can ride in and rinse off, and then I have access to my car.
The Trucker might make a MarkVT race race bike, since it's light and rolls fast.
Woooooooooo hooooooooooo!

ahr:146 max:158 shoes: Brooks Ghost Red
It's mentally rough being this out of shape. I try to focus on: all I need is a good Rage and maybe a nice fall A meet, and this is just the first step, but it's rough.
Walking 6:35 0.32 mi (20:34 / mi) +2m 20:14 / mi

Biking 32:53 5.39 mi (9.8 mph) +104m
ahr:153 max:217 shoes: The General
HOLY CRAP
Cris and Barbara destroyed me by idling themselves around Yellow. Any uphill was heart rate spike city. I have no biking fitness, this felt awful. I thought about leaving after this. Holy crap.

The super nav sport ladies of TNT welcomed me to their Green loop ride. I asked to just do Blue while they roared around, but they graciously would have none of it, so I took it out and tried to keep them from being too bored. I had to jump a few roots for style points. I swear I'd also do this if solo. It is a training ride after all, and that's good training.
Heart rate was through the roof as well. I could not get up any hills with incurring significant cardio taxing. Humbling. This pace should be barely 120 bpm, regardless of what bike. Time to get after getting fit!
Crashed once. Late in the Yellow portion, fatigue had me winging around the the outside lines, and I found soft dirt that grabbed my front wheel. Thankfully being on flats, I could jump off, presumably with great flair but you'll have to check with Sydney to be certain.

Received two comments in one day about unsync'd main website and supporting sites (smoc-runs and FB). Perhaps a further topic for 2017 annual meeting.
One could envision a perfect world, with all the current static content, but events page with multiple edit access, and then it would be cool to have more features, like member payment, event registration with payment, etc.
