So a big *wow* at that super-strike the other night.   Talking with a Leesburg FD person in church this morning - they got a bunch of calls from people reporting "a big explosion".   And this is 15 miles from where the strike happened.  I can't image how loud it must have been in Brunswick.   Anyone happen to have any direct reports or pictures of where it struck?

 

Some are likely shopping for a new computer, printer, TV, etc today. Happened to my parents last summer with an explosive nearby strike. Unplugging is a good idea when prolific lightning is expected as it removes the physical path for electromagnetic surges.

Stunner of a day. Currently watching March Madness on the patio with a margarita….lets go St John’s and UConn!

lol that’s awful. In other news, I like my Trek FX 2 so far, but sometimes I want a road bike that has those style of handlebars like what the Trek Domane has. Certainly could see the benefit on longer rides (though mine are more neighborhood fitness loops).

I just got my second Domane.  The first one had to get retired to the trainer after 30,000+ miles.  I love both of them.  The new one is espeically nice because it has disc brakes, which means I can run wider tires.  I've got 32s on it, and the ride is so much smoother than the 28s I had on my old Domane.  If you opt for a road bike, the Domane is a great choice.

Nice, that’s a lot of mileage lol. Going from the Roscoe (which I still have) to the FX on road has been a huge upgrade, but it seems like it would struggle on anything except maybe gravel, so I’m almost inclined now to consider more of a road bike like the Domane. I’ll have to see how much I get into the road biking. I used to only ride the trails and then rocks once I moved to Frederick, but road biking has been more convenient and I have one hill nearby that’s punchy enough to get a solid workout.

My yard hit 90 also.  Way too early for this.
