Don't rent from dollar.

Dollar Advertised a very competitive rate; but their advertised rate in no way matched the rate I was charged. Their desk operators tag on insurance (at exorbitant rates) and additional charges that are not advertised, even if you decline their insurance (clearly state "I do not need insurance"); and they then rush you through the signing process, and don't allow you to dispute charges. I was told the car was "fine", when it was covered in dings and scratches. Further the "check engine light" came on , and stayed on for the duration of the trip. Further, the Car I rented (which was "fine") lost all throttle response (couldn't accelerate) while on the highway. I will not rent from this company again; and I suggest you do not either.

Cycling isn't a sport. It's more like a really, really expensive eating disorder. :

>>>>Talked to my coach about my nutrition issues. We figured out that I should be eating 6 meals a day. Legs are feeling better now, so I should be able to get in another 17hr week of training. I had to cut last week down to 7.5hrs due to the nutrition issues...

>>> Wife brought donuts to work for coworkers birthday. I ate two. (2nd breakfast; yes we work together) I wonder what I'd weigh (currently 175.8 lbs/ 79.9 kg) if I could get this eating thing under control?

>>I got it under control and got down to 163. When I started racing I was 185. You. Can. Do it. Well, not if you're going to eat another donut. Put it down. Sheesh.

>Assuming a 21% gross cycling efficiency: Calories Burned = (Average Watts) * (Minutes) * (.068242) At 200 watts, that 200 calorie donut would only cost you about 15 extra minutes on the bike. At 300 watts you'd be done in less than 10 minutes. =)

I can get away with 4 meals per day up to around 15 hrs / week. After that, it's just a continuous feeding. It's 10:30am and I've had 1st and second breakfast, and first lunch. Second lunch goes at 1 pm Cyclists are living proof of hobbits.

Pacing was good. Had little left in the tank. Dismayed that I was > 30 minutes; but there was a nasty headwind, and the "hills" (rollers) were suprising.
