The usual amount. The ride has like 4 climbs as well
Maybe. Oura ring also said my body temperature dropped quite a bit from baseline, so maybe has something to do with it also. That or not being stressed from work.

Define 'far better'.
I think that the difference is negligible.
Now, if you want to talk about pollutants in the air that would impact you during exercise, then there would be a scientific basis for it.

comparing our rides is just giving me justification to NOT compare power numbers between different meters with different riders
heres mine from this morning. we shaved ~5min off the moving time compared to a few weeks ago.

It's mostly for training purposes not to compare to other people

Conditioning efforts continue, with success. Being in condition is attractive and fun.
And it is amusing to replace worn out parts on a bicycle when you're the only one riding it. Third set of tires, second chain and cassette, new cables and guides. And I get to buy tools and upgrade parts.
Did another twenty-five miler. Got back and my wife said: "We really have to talk."
(Parts cost? I haven't hidden any expense)
(Time away? I ride at 04:00 and get back by seven)
(Time fussing in the garage?) She only has to open the door.
(Our house?) In good nick, landscape is tight, I scrub toilets, repairs are current and I cook daily.
With a tinge of anxiety I reply, "Uh, okay".
We sit silently in the kitchen with coffee. With the cold eyes of a snake she hands me a list. "This is important." She says. I look at the list, it is the names of all of her friends.
"Is this a party you want to throw?" I ask.
"No". The intent stare remains. "You're taking care of yourself now. And it shows. If I die. . . (She has chronic myologenous leukemia, in control). . .you have to be careful around these women!" Her gaze could now pierce armor plate. "I've listed them in decending order of importance. The first three will take advantage of you, use you but won't love you." She relaxed a little. "The rest of them are okay or honest about things, but I still don't trust them for after I die."
Mind you, she and I have been together since 1973, I've known some of those women for decades and if they've had designs on me I was oblivious. To keep from laughing I shammed reading the list of names very carefully. As serious as my wife was, even a giggle from me would have been disastrous. Carefully I asked, "Is this it. Are there more names?"
"And watch out for my daughter's next door neighbor. She's pretty but she's mean inside."
Ah. . . marital bliss. I didn't see that one coming. More than forty seven years and I still can't get the upper hand on the chess board of a relationship.
All because I bought a bicycle.

Tough week.
Started Monday AM. I was determined to make it a killer day.
About 200 pushups in late morning I tried to grunt out a couple more.. pulled a trap muscle. So much for weight lifting. Did some squats and took a long fast walk.
Tuesday. Neck trap felt a little better actually fine. Suprise awesome.
Hit the weights hard. Did some squats and took a walk.
Tuesday night the inside of my left forearm cramped up and was in major pain. Did too much too fast I assumed. Mind wandered to a possible heart attack...
and now my knees hurt too.
Wednesday: Arm still hurt like heck.. typing hurt FFS. Did squats.
Skipped the walk because of my knees.
Thursday: Arm was feeling better. Decided I am mature and should not push it... so a not as long walk.
Thursday night my same forearm lit up on the outer top. Felt like it was frozen and hurt like hell. For sure not a heart attack. Knees felt OK.
Friday: Arm still hurt. Damn typing.
Did squats and took a walk.
Today: A couple light sets of curls. Wanted to see if it would affect my arm. So far so good.
Hoping I can do something more real tomorrow.

Just played tennis again before the lockdown. Of course I had to get the bug back right before the shut down...
If they don't lock the courts I may try and play

Rinse, repeat.
Same route, same start time, same bicycle, same distance even the same drink in the bottle cage every day. Twenty-five miles.
The time to completion is the only change. I've gone from 2 1/2 hours to two hours flat with the same comfort level.
Yay, me.
