Bad Religion, Pennywise, Descendents, NOFX, Agent Orange, TSOL, Bouncing Souls, Strung Out, Anti-Flag, Sham 69, Swingin' Utters, H20, some 90's ska bands I could really do without, and some others. Hopefully I'll be able to hit up New Jack the next day, it's not too far away from there.
That sounds good, but also like a concert full of aging punksters.

Sounds kinda interesting, actually. I didn't know that teh loyerette was into this stuff

Folk fest was good. Best thing about it was seeing a bunch of random people from town that I may not have seen otherwise before I left town.
Music was pretty good too, but I like that fiddle and accordion stuff.

Well-timed weight loss!
So I leave for France on Friday night, and I've been pushing myself away from the dinner table over the last six weeks, and was down about 6 pounds.
Monday night, I was fortuitously struck by a pretty severe 24-hour stomach bug that had me shitting all night and barely eating yesterday. Today I was down 2.5 more pounds! No real guarantee those 2 lbs will actually stay off, since it's basically dehydration, but it can't hurt. Unfortunately, no vomiting, so none of that beneficial core workout.

Sweet!
I never got as low as I would like to this summer, and the last two-three weeks have been weird and emotional for me leaving town and my job and all. Anyway, point of the story is that I may have even gained a bit of weight in the last few weeks.
Plenty of time for good weight loss in the next month though! Not sitting at a desk will help with desk doldrum eating and I plan in putting a pile more Km's on my bike through September.

I actually purposefully skipped putting any KmsMIs on my bike the last two weekends, I wanted to make sure my thighs didn't get big.
I also only have a weke of climbing, so I kind of have to optimize for that. If you're on the CI-plan of taking 1+++++++ years off, no need to worry too much about dropping all the weight right at the start.

I don't put on muscle easily so my thighs don't bulk up when I cycle, but it's a commen complaint from most people.
I may be going off to climb for a year, but I'd still like to hit the ground running. It's also almost time to switch over to drytooling so I'll only have a few weeks in October for rock before I pretty much pick up the tools exclusively. Bozeman IWC will sneak up on us here pretty quick.
Also, if anyone want to go climbing for a week or something in September I don't feel bad at all if I take the Fittus and leave Nathan behind building the van.

Two weak-ends make a difference is thigh bulking? Wow!
I mean, I have heard a lot of people say that they don't bike or run as means of weight loss, bc they end up feeling ravenous and over-eating, as well as gaining muscle. But surely couple weekend rides are not enough?
Banz does pretty well with running+weight loss, but he is ruthless in sticking to his starvation plan, when he decides to do it.

Running does not work for weight loss for me at all because it makes me too hungry. Cycling gets me out of the house for usually a couple of hours at a time and does not give me the same hunger pangs as running.

I haven't done any rigorous testing. But I had gone out riding the past few weekends, and figured I ought to take these last two off. But the rides tend to involve a fair amount of climbing, which I suspect is probibly a driver of larger thighs. It's all very unscientific, however.

On long bike rides, your body just gets into high firing mode so much that I think it would be nearly impossible to control the amount you're eating. However, I've definitely found that just doing my quick ride in and out of the gorge– lose and gain 1000 feet in about 9 miles– is just enough to burn 600-700 calories, but not to tempt you to inhale excess calories.

Also, not sure if I told y'all, but somehow one of the chronically understaffed schools here roped me into a fulltime teaching gig here. English! It's fun, I think I'm making a difference with under-advantaged kids and awl that ghey stuff, but this is going to REALLY cut into my klimbtime. I'm really using the extra $$$, though, since Taco needs new leaf springs.
Is this how it all ends?

When you climb are you spinning or grinding up the hills? It affects which type of muscle you build. You should be in a high-cadence spin to drop weight and build lean muscle. You can achieve this on hills without bulking up. A weekend's worth of riding won't build you up.
I strength trained specifically to ride on the velodrome down here and didn't bulk up. My legs, proportionally, are smaller than when I was training for skiing. If you're cycling for sprints and training as such, then you'll end up bulking. I ride for endurance with some sprints thrown in here and there. If you're eating right and training effectively, you'll lean up and build some impressive strength.

A guy I climbed with a couple weeks ago got mugged in his driveway yesterday. Gun to the face, give us your shit kind of thing. Somewhat common. Much more impressive than an emaciated Guatemalan with a dull, rusty machete.
I was thinking the same thing. Glad I kept it to myself, I would have been GUd

I hear it ends with you quitting your jorb and moving to Kentucky to live in a shack down by the river...
Yurp. My life tends to be cyclical, not linear.
