Why Are People Here?

I was particularly fond of my son's company issued beta head unit that showed 8,000 meters of elevation gain when you turned it on -- it spotted him 8,000 feet, which I thought was awesome. Free climbing. He was also supposed to beta test smart glasses with video display, but he passed. I'm amazed at the data-head cycling contingent. I have no idea how many meters elevation gain I've ever done. Heck, I don't usually click to see my average speed - partly because it's too embarrassing. Many decades ago on our first trip to England, we were staying at a hostel somewhere in Devon. Another guy and his son bragged that they had ridden 100 miles to get there that day. When I later related that to another guy in the hostel, he said in a dismissive tone, "Oh, he's just doing it for the numbers." -- - Frank Krygowski |
