Way before woodworking, there was cycling. I had this long rambling backstory, but the short version... I was big into cycling after college before wife, house, and kids, and now that there's really no honey-do list and the kids are older, I've been back into it for the past 3 years. I'm more into touring/site-seeing than racing. This past summer I completed the GAP in 2 days and the C&O in 3.
When we moved here, I thought I'd be out on the bike a lot, but COVID has me staying away from the local group, and my work schedule is now more in sync with the East Coast so I can't sneak away in the mornings. The roads aren't bad, but you really need to get out with the group at 5:30am, to avoid the cars, and I just have no discipline for that.
I didn't want to lose all my fitness so I started riding on Zwift. So far this is my makeshift setup. It works but obviously it's not ideal because it's bulky, in the way, and sometimes I need that ladder for other things. I'm currently mulling over how to rejigger this to remove the ladder from the equation. The most important component is really that fan. Stay tuned.
