> A cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a condition caused by a common virus. 

> The CMV virus stays in the body for life after infection.

> CMV spreads from person to person through body fluids. These include blood, saliva, urine, semen and breast milk.

> Symptoms of a CMV infection can include a fever, fatigue and a sore throat. But the virus rarely causes symptoms in healthy people. If you're pregnant or if your immune system is weakened, CMV is cause for concern.

So I once fell on my elbow and that hurt for like a year. And I just bumped that elbow. The pain is undescribable. Why does life have to be suffering. Your whole body breaks down with age. All your past injuries will NEVER fully recover.

Yes it's sunny and lovely
But it's like torteen degrees

Tomorrow I got myself talked into some bigger group ride for some reason. We start at 8:00 (dunno why) at it's supposed to be 7 (SEVEN) degrees in the morning, torteen in the afternoon. But sunny, almost spotless.
I have no idea how to dress.

Group rides that start early during any season but summer are profound mental retardation, we have those as well. Imagine starting around 8-9 in winter when its like -2 and wet as fuck instead of starting at 12 when its +1 and completely dry. Goes for fall and early spring (or cold late spring like now) as well





 >>/11132/
 >>/11131/
Well I can't relate to either of those concerns but it looks like enough others can. I mean shit if people want to degrade the quality of their ride and increase suffering for no gain then so be it, doesn't concern me anyways since there are only slow groups around here at the moment










 >>/11141/
I don't have one
And I also don't have an ideal cycling base layer. I am using just a regular icebreaker merino which is god-tier for hiking but for cycling, i don't know, it just lets cold wind thru like nobody's business, so it's kinda useless without a Gillet






 >>/11148/
yes.
The worst part being injuries never truly healing.
You may not feel pain anymore and still have pretty good mobility.
BUT
It ain't ever gonna be the same.

I had quadicipital ligament injury.
After rehab, and a long time, while it does not pain me it just isn't the same.

Hello, Bert!

On Sunday, we are celebrating Towel Day by watching The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at 19:00 UTC. It's an official holiday on Endchan, since it was themed after the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
Join us! Don't Panic!

> “We have sprinter Paul Magnier, of course, but he states that the Giro is not the Etoile de Bessèges. That is — to be clear — absolutely not a reproach. He is 21 years old and is riding his first Grand Tour. Then you pay the price. Paul has also had his share of bad luck in this Giro. In the stage to Naples he crashed badly. To still manage to get a third place: well done. Last year he had a bad fall in the Tour of Britain, where we underestimated the impact a bit and partly out of necessity had to leave him in the hospital. That crash stuck in his clothes, but judging from Naples he has now put that episode behind him.”

> “Paul was really disappointed on Thursday. He was basically where he should have been in the sprint, but then rode into a hole and his chain came off. He quickly got it back on and finished eighth, which means we should actually take our hats off again. But at the same time it is of course also a missed opportunity.” >"We are not shortchanging anyone when we say that we cannot offer Paul a real sprint train here. On Thursday, we were in the lead far too early in my opinion. You cannot accuse Josef Cerny of a lack of effort, but he had to keep Paul in front by riding partly on and partly off the road. I held my breath when I saw it."

doesn't say anything wrong really

> Mathieu has had a very good rest period above all,” says Roodhooft about his rider. “The past three weeks have been good in terms of training volume. On Thursday he trained here in the Czech Republic, the days before that it was a bit less. But he is in pretty good shape at the moment, if you look at it in his preparation for the Tour de France . Mathieu has cycled on the mountain bike twice: once a long endurance training and once a shorter training with some intervals. Thursday morning was the third time, when he reconnoitered the course here in Nové Město.
Top kek. Imagine being a XC shitter right now
























































































 >>/11269/
Did that for good 10 minutes yesterday.
 >>/11271/
This one looks like something I would gladly dislocate my jaw to fit in.
The ones you usually post seem to much milennial hip, menu written with chalk, served on a wooden plank, the burger guy is probably bearded, has a bunch of small random tatts and wears those black nitrile gloves. Those burgers seem like bunch of wholesale stuff thrown in and served as premium.
This one today looks like was by mister Petr the Pragmatic who knows his stuff and cuts the corners only when he has nothing better, i.e. the fries.




 >>/11275/
always reassuring to know that those types of soulless restaurants arent just a burger thing. every time i get dragged to one it fills me with a sense of pathos to become a hermit in the mountains and scorn social contact.





 >>/11282/
To a certain degree. I actually think the riding, when possible, has been pretty aggressive. Bernal and Carapaz the other day, Ineos on the gravel stage and even yesterday too. But it is really extremely hard to make this race exciting.



 >>/11279/
Everything is coming from the West wholesale here, it is all parroting the newest thing which arrives a few years late and is already slopified through.
Tatts, burgers, wood oven pizza, barbers, botox parlors, music festivals, muscle cars, shitty autocad architecture, minimalistic interior design with bare brick walls and of coursh the gay race gommunism.
It is not even that the burgers are bad, usually they are but sometimes they are really good. They are slop anyways because it is just an installation of prepackaged and preapproved, gae social media optimized mode of doing a thing for money that often becomes a part of a surrogate personality together with other prepackaged blocks.
It has no local connection or any organic origin story, it's a disembedded and soulless container that makes it even harder to blend it in with good will because both the staff and clientele are the same bunch of stooges performing the same genre of a slopified, social media optimized, contrived shitlib persona.

My very own take is that only when you're not having a barber, burger, botox or a tattoo spot on almost every paved street in a small city like mine, only then you will know things are getting better.








 >>/11287/
here a surprisingly large amount of them are owned by large chains trying there bestest to make it seem bespoke and local, i've seen the one-to-one exact same dishes at multiple different sit-down restaurants, only difference is they put a different two syllable french word on the store name. honestly the thing that pisses me off the most is the half-assed attempt to masquerade as something else, if it was just unabashedly transplanted I would be more amenable to it. the silver lining is that this city has no local culture to destroy so you more or less expect it. and the ethnic food is very good.









 >>/11293/
The smash burger is the new thing thing, or not so new anymore. Just squeeze the beef, thanks, that will be 5 bux extra.
There is also one genuinely good place in my town, came from a genuine interest and personal experience with good quality fast food in Berlin, I know these people.
It is the least sloppy but it became more with time because this is how it goes, you have to optimize for the burger clientele, shitlibs and light-beige clothed, expensive lease car riding middle-classers pretending they're nouveaux-riches.
But I can easily recommend it, haven't eaten there in 2 years or so, though.
 >>/11295/
Burgerland at least has some legitimacy and heritage so attempts at sourcing bespoke stuff locally should have some level of initial confidence.
Here there is barely any beef culture, most of the beef will be milk cows slaughtered after they have done their run.
I remember seeing a series about these great fast food/food truck spots in the US, learning about all your burritos, Reubens, Philly cheeseteaks, really well produced and sold me on the topic.
Went for almost every food truck festival I could for 2 years or so and I have ran into maybe 3-4 of trucks that have genuinely good stuff. And that was when I was living in Wrocław, a true city where you should bring your at least B+ game.
The rest just hooked along with half-assed items made with wholesale stuff, especially the greenhouse tomatoes in everything made me give it up and admit I fell for some nicely filmed grilled food and some food writers salivating over it.









 >>/11304/
Yeah the place is pretty honest in that they sell themselves like any other friterie here, they charge 11 euro's for "the burger of the month" (potato bun bread full of stuff) I consider that a bargain now.

As for foodtrucks that died here because it's just too expensive food and usually it's just fried slop. Also commune's over charge the trucks for standplaces so it's not even a fun thing to do for local people.











 >>/11319/
tbf his TT results this giro are pretty good. if you just view him as a pure TT specialist he becomes a almost respectable runner. of course thats removed from reality. his ceiling is still [in theory] very high. surely it isnt hard to just force a runner to sit in the middle of the pedalton.

What a day of racing we had today, and what a /WORLD TOUR WINE/ we have to enjoy!

As one very helpful Bert tipped me off, today's stage dips in and out of sLOVEnia, finishing in the town of Nova Gorica. So, as a surprise, we have a lovely Slovenian wine!! There is a small appellation just to the northwest adjacent to the Gonjace climb known as Goriska Brda where today's VERY interesting wine is grown and vinified. This appears to be a little natural winery that also has a restaurant and small hotel. Looks quite lovely. The winemaker, Jean Michel Morel, is a Bordelais who married into a Slovenian farming family. He convinced his father-in-law to stop selling the crop and make his own wine instead (first vintage 1993).

Kabaj Luisa 2013 ($37).

This is a white blend of Ribolla Gialla, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Vert, and Sauvignon Blanc. It has light skin contact so would perhaps be considered an orange wine. According to the bottle, it is aged 10 years in barrel before bottling but the website says 24 months in 225 liter French oak barrels so who knows. 2013 is the newest vintage to be released but I'm not sure whether the extra 10 years is in bottle or barrel.

Pours a beautiful golden color with honey core. The nose is very elegant and refined -- honey, apricot, white tea, pepper. Complex but restrained. The palate is soft, with gentle apricot and ripe melon, tarragon, whiff of sandlewood, light butter. There is just the slightest tannin grip from the skin contact, but everything is melded beautifully here, with stony minerality and light acidity. The body/intensity is medium.

Really nice, one of the better whites of the year. We'll see how this opens up throughout the day.



 >>/11519/
I mean the choice to do that is rational, if I was in the car I'd tell them to get to the front too. It's just that they constantly moan about safety, limiting gearing, forcing climbs out of races because they ride insanely dangerous etc.

> "But it ignores the fact that we arrived there during the Games with a peloton of 50 riders and now with an entire Tour peloton, where many classification riders still have something to defend."

> "I expect chaos if they take the same narrow streets towards the climb (the approach is not exactly the same as during the Games, ed.). Then I think it's a shame that we're going to look for that."

> "I understand that the organization thought: that looks cool, we should try to use that."

> "But in recent years, safety has become more and more of an issue and this choice for Montmartre ignores that."

I wonder what changed his mind today

I try to get wines from as close to the course as possible, although for each GT, on the ultimate stage, I will do a special bottle from that country not limited by route.

I would be very interested to see what Patje drinks but I can imagine he drinks Bordeaux (as boomers do)







> The tests revealed a significant hematoma on the vastus lateralis muscle of the right quadriceps and a small lesion of the muscle fascia—injuries that do not require surgery but will need a recovery period of about two weeks.

> "I'm speechless," said Ciccone. "I tried to push through to finish the stage because I hoped the hospital tests would show it wasn’t so serious and that I could recover and fight for a stage win. But I immediately realized it was something major because the pain was too intense—and now we know why."

Good afternoon,
I hereby react to the news that emerged yesterday, regarding me.
I confirm that it is true that a process is underway regarding my biological passport, for the years 2018, 2019 and possibly 2020, as I was notified.
In those years I was not part of the structure of Clube Esportivo Fullracing, and my current Team was unaware of these facts, but I cannot fail to thank them for their full support.
However, I want to emphasize that I am calm about this entire process and I believe in my integrity and everything I have done in national cycling, as well as in my defense in relation to the process that is being carried out against me.
So, let's wait for the outcome, about which I have complete confidence in everything I did and in my innocence.

The Portuguese teams always feast in this race. Also, looksl like velogamblers should add Jesus David Peña to the list of possible contenders for the Volta. Kinda surprised he went all the way down to a conti team after Jayco.

 >>/11923/
yeah this is basically my take. anything beyond this seems delulu though. he seems to be suffering from the next-remco effect but instead of remco its pogacar. everyone comparing him to literally the best runner ever giving him absurdly unrealistic expectations for what is still extremely impressive.

Kurwaburt will confirm this is something Polish "people" do a lot. Whenever I am hiking in the Bohemian Alps for example, a lot of these tourists have their bags, or winter caps, or apparel with POLSKA logo on them for some reason.

Yeah, it's over
