Are there betting markets for when that turd drops dead?

Black or blue vine things. They seemed the “realest” to me, but don’t seem to get much love.

Can confirm my back currently, and always, hurts.

Biking is also pretty dependent on the individual and their setup. The elevation changes, distances, sustained speed, and terrain one individual and their equipment can handle can vary drastically with another person. Not to mention someone’s tolerance for whatever the weather might be doing at the time while you’re completely exposed to the elements on a bike or walking.

It’s just them taking a “your results may vary” approach while covering their own ass.

Anecdotally, while driving in Colorado, I put in a destination that I was driving to in bike mode on accident. The destination was like 80 miles away from where I was and involved climbing and descending a mountain pass. Google Maps was very optimistic about how long it would take me to bike there…all without knowing my anything about my health, the kind of bike I have, if I would be able to bike at that elevation, etc. (being Google they probably knew)

I switched over to Ride with GPS for the most part (my activity there still syncs over to Strava), but I grabbed the route files from here: https://ridewithgps.com/users/171708

How was the WP area? I thought their rides up there looked really nice. I’ll have to try one soon.

I followed this, except on the way back, I stuck to the right and went back the way I came on 343 instead of taking 344 over to 306 early as I wanted to avoid the pavement as much as possible (there was a lot more traffic than I was expecting). I parked in town, but if you wanted to avoid the paved road completely, it looked like you could park on some pull-outs on 343.

Picture from Friday’s ride from Buena Vista, CO to Cottonwood Lake and back (25.5mi/2,200ft elevation gain).

Picture from last night’s after-dinner ride on my nearby trails (10.5mi/550ft elevation gain).

No pictures from this morning’s trip to the farmer’s market (18mi)

Started walking 10k steps a day after seeing myself in pictures and hating how I looked. I’d been fairly active in the past, but some injuries sidelined me. I found getting out and walking was much better for my mental health and creativity than staring at a screen. Embraced the zen of walking when it was cold or rainy out - I’m lucky to often see animals around me that I know most people near me are never seeing. Now instead of dreading exercise, I have the opposite problem of getting restless and pissy if I don’t get my walking or biking in.
