The weather has been interesting.

It has been rather stormy. That includes things we do not see around here very often.

(Craig F. McCaw - image credit)

That is a waterspout. AKA a tornado over water. It was about 8km from my house. All I heard was lots of thunder and wind. All I saw was a really angry cloud. In this picture the water in the foreground is the northern branch of the Fraser River. The chunk of land in the middle is a bit of Iona Park which is the place I ride my bike to on the YVR loop.

This thing passed over UBC and knocked down a lot of trees and caused havoc. The day had been pretty nasty and this was the end of it just before sunset. I did not go out as well just look at the weather!

The snow line is coming down over the north shore mountains. Winter is on the way.

I did a one hour hardwood ride. I am trying to inure myself to the discomfort and frustration of longer indoor rides. With the conditions as they are I will need to do those. I hate them.

The ride was a simulation of sorts with pushes at where the bridges would be. It is fairly effective to make the ride more bearable. I mean real rides are full of distractions. My training effect score was 4.0 aerobic and 2.9 anaerobic. 2.9 is almost good. It is basically holding your own. I think getting a good score on that is quite hard. I did it once, but that was the 50ish km simulation ride. I did fairly long hard pushes. Strange that they were not as hard or as long as if I had done the real ride. I never score well on the real rides. Weird.

It really comes down to "do I need it?" My routine has been fairly steady over the years. I can already do things that impress some people. I confess to a bit of reluctance to "try harder" as there is that cardiac risk thing.

So heading for mid 4000s now.

In a minor related thing the crank arm power meter and the green monster power reading are fairly close. At average efforts they are almost bang on. At the upper end they drift apart, but that may be just the different time averages. One is 5 seconds the other is 3.

Justicar Verse (Final Part)

N/A: Oh yes, the final part is here. Brian and Kurt want redemption...they´ll have to work to get it...Brian and Kurt won´t get Scott-free just claiming ignorance. I get it, they didn´t know and are naive...but they will have to work to achieve this.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @djinmer4 @bamfoftheundead @everykurt @muninandhugin

The streets are crowded with people freely about their daily life- some are preparing a big celebration, while others are mourning the death of Magneto and Prof X- and some ladies are looking at the indigo man walking with his head down and dragging his feet ignoring the looks- or maybe, pretending to be that clueless- and as some ladies are baiting her eyelashes at the indigo figure, ignoring their male companion, causing them to take an attitude- as his golden eyes are gazing at two men not happy with such indigo man.

"Hey, creature! This is a street for normal humans and mutants. You´re not allowed" one of them said transmitting a fuming look to the indigo man and his date- still seem very impressed by his body-and the indigo man´s eyes wide at this and looks at the two men with a somewhat deadpan expression. "Everyone is free to walk here...there´s no law impeding"

And one of them sneers as if waiting for his cue. "According to Lady Psylocke, you´re no longer allowed...unless you want to be cured" and how the conversation escalated to a fight is up in the air and Kurt- he makes a point to introduce himself as he beats them up- is more than enough to face two jealous men.

The fight is now escalating to a dangerous degree and Kurt is not sure if he can face everyone, perhaps, Kurt Wagner being well-trained thanks to the Justicar- a cruel irony now- could continue fighting...even if some people joining the fight are Justicar. They didn´t reconize Kurt...without his uniform and make no desire to know.

I wanted to be a hero. "It was for us to help the mutants and humans...not the be ...this" Kurt screams letting his feelings out and see no problem in breaking one of the helmets of his ex-compatriots. "We´re not heroes. I´m not a hero" and looking at the destruction he made- in self-defense or in pure angry?- he teleports away.

"Congratulations! You saw the truth" a feminine voice mocks him and Kurt looks up to see Shadowcat floating over him with her typical smile. "Fight with Justicar?"

"We´re not heroes...Shadowcat, we´re not heroes...Are you here to kill me?"

"That would be too easy" she lands on the floor gracefully and Kurt can see the grass getting wild and wilder as if they´re on the different time. "Do you want to die or do you want to redemption?"

"Redemption!" ____________________________________________________________________________________________

Brian Braddock is a man with a degree in engineering and thought Justicar was the hope for humanity, however, the way to hell is paved with good intentions and Brian can see this now. "For what´s worth...I´m sorry. The Justicars were to protect...not hurt" and Gloriana is preparing herself for the big day. She watches Brian carefully.

"I know you feel sorry. I know you feel regret...but, I can´t pardon for your ignorance nor I have this power to do so. If you want to be the hero you so wanted to be...prove it and help us" Gloriana states and concludes in a soft tone. "and for what´s worth, I don´t hate you, Brian...I can´t"

________________________________________________________________________________________

Psylocke is foreseeing this moment, however, not in this way. She wanted to kill Gloriana a long time but never expect her armies would be that strong and never expect Shadowcat to attack so viciously. She´s forced to be secluded in her own tower. Her strength and her only weakness now. "I need to focus...and use the spell" she clunch the Medalion- Merlin is a croak old man and a pretty face can open many doors- slowly recites the spell causing the kinetic butterfly energy to grow and she is trying to control the rebellion.

She frowns as everyone is chanting protective spells...spells that belong to one person. "Scarlet Witch! Should have killed her!" and tries to think something better to do, something painfully to attack her enemies, yet, as Gloriana and Shadowcat arrived in the tower and don´t plan to talk...the rebellion ends on their favor.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Brian assumed Justicar and revealed the awful truth to everyone, apologies are the bare minimum right now and he wants to do better, he and Kurt share this view. "The Justicar is no more. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and the price is not worth" he states and Kurt, not shapeshifting, agrees and speaks about how ignorance and naivete are equally dangerous as cruelty.

Redemption is a long way for them, but, they won´t give up. And the world is slowly changing for the better. Some mutants that were changed are happier as humans now - Toad can admit this as much is painful and opens a new door of possibility for him- while others want their powers back.

Shadowcat and Magik devise a machine-power by Magik´s magic- that can restore the powers without any pain- and Ororo Monroe, the Future Queen Wakanda was present to witness the change.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Epilogo:

Excalibur arrives at this dimension and Nightcrawler witnesses a Shadowcat, wearing the same outfit as his Shadowcat giving orders to Meggan with short hair and to add the confusion a human version of Nightcrawler raises his sword at him. "Who are you?" and adds. "Katzchen, do you want to handle this, or can I?"

"Well, he´s fuzzy like you...but he could be different from you"

Kurt Wagner from Excalibur is confused and a bit jealousy as this Kurt seems to be way closer to his Kitty.

The Best Fluid Bike Trainer For Christmas

On the off chance that you have an energetic cyclist on your Christmas present giving show, you ought to think about obtaining an indoor best bike trainer. The advantages of an indoor bicycle coach may appear glaringly evident to the individuals who comprehend them well and recognize what to search for yet in the event that you don't realize what a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine even is, it may appear to be overpowering.

I recognize what you're considering, another treadmill right. You purchase a costly bit of hardware that never truly works very right or feels perfectly and it winds up sitting in the corner and not being utilized. The cool part around an indoor bicycle coach is that you utilize your own bicycle to utilize it.

A similar street bicycle that you ride in the city, you can bolt into this mentor and use it to ride. So the seat, the pedals, the riding position will all be much the same as riding in the city. This is a considerably more alluring setup than state an activity bicycle like at the exercise center.

An indoor bicycle mentor normally overlays level and is anything but difficult to store under the bed when not being used or numerous riders simply abandon them set up in an extra room or corner of the house amid the winter with the goal that it is prepared to go when required.

There are various types of indoor bicycle mentors including Mag coaches, Fluid coaches and Wind coaches. These all search generally fundamentally the same as yet they have some imperative unpretentious contrasts in the manner in which they work. The points of interest of each are past the extent of this article yet you can discover a connection to some perusing material toward the finish of this article will clarify it in detail.

Our outright most loved bike coach is the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. It isn't the least expensive unit accessible yet not the most costly but rather as we would like to think it is the best. The Kurt Kinetic is a liquid coach and highlights a steady base to stack the bicycle on, it's calm and will enable you to ride while sitting in front of the TV and it has an extraordinary street bicycle feel.

It rides comparably to what your bicycle would have a craving for going not far off. A large number of alternate coaches won't do this. They will give you an exercise however they don't feel very right.

So before I finish up, I would essentially say that in the event that you need to find out about indoor bicycle mentors, look at the connections at the base. You can discover indoor bike coach data and you can likewise locate some remarkable arrangements on Kurt Kinetic bicycle mentors.

You want motivation?

So do I.

This thing is a habit. Tuesdays and Thursdays I get on the bike. It is past effort or any kind of plan. I just do it. Oh and I am lazy.

I am back to the hardwood rides. It was a bit frustrating last night as the day was gorgeous. Blue sky, not cool, not warm, but when I got home I knew the sun was going down in one hour. I could not do the YVR loop in that time. I could do a shorter loop, but it is a habit this thing. I don’t do shorter loops. I am lazy cuz I did not go into the crawl space and dig out the fan. So I suffered even more.

For those out there who do spinning without fans you know what I mean. On a real ride the wind blows and sweat just evaporates. That is it doing its job of dumping the heat out of your body. There is a lot of heat. You want numbers I got numbers. I was putting out 203 Watts of what the computer called normalized power. That is a kind of adjusted average to reflect what an effort that varies is equal to if it didn’t vary. Is that geeky or what?

A human body is around 22% efficient. So for you to do 200 Watts of work your body makes 909 Watts of power. So you are putting 700 ish Watts of extra heat out. That is a lot of heat. That would toast one slice of bread (1/2 of a typical toaster’s Watts) Your blood spreads it around the body. A lot goes out with your exhaled breath, but the rest heats up your skin to evaporate sweat.

If the air is moving it evaporates much faster and deals with the heat. With a fan I can just finish the ride, stay in the stream of air and in a couple of minutes feel normal. Without the fan I end up drenched in sweat, with a heavy wet towel and I have to take a cold shower so in about one hour I feel normal. But the fan stayed in the crawl space as I am lazy.

So the green monster Kinetics Road Machine sits in the living room with my nice red bike clamped in it making me work. It is a good machine for that. It is a fluid trainer so as the speed ramps up the resistance does exponentially. I was doing a routine from the Kinetics training App which reads data from the machine and tells me how hard I am working.

I also got the “Power Pod” working again and it shows the power off the Kinetics when you activate this feature. It started out with different numbers than the Kinetic App, but once warmed up and calibrated they were pretty close. I was glad to have it working again. It goes crazy at least once per year. The only fix is to run the battery down dead dead and then recharge and reset it. It will not reset otherwise. It will take a bit of nonsense to work on outside rides. It has to relearn something. If I get a new bike I will get a more conventional power meter. I find them useful. More numbers are better.

So before the next hardwood ride I have to go into the crawlspace. I wonder if I will?
