Hey




Henry..




Yeah..

You watched Yellowstone?




No

You tried that new sandwich at Culver’s?




Not yet

What’s your favorite beer?



I don’t drink

Dam...what kind of truck you drive?




It’s called an Accord 




? You Zwift?




Nope




You Strava Bruh?




Sometimes 

Sometimes, man cool now we’re talking..but sometimes how do you keep track of all your miles?




I mean I can write. And I have a pretty solid memory 

Yeah, but what about local legends?




What’s that?

Oh dude it’s like those little Icons and medals you get inside your Strava feed that tell your a really good at riding 




Oh. Yea those a marketing scheme to make me feel important for riding the same boring ass loop more than anyone in my village..

Um yea I guess..

Hey what about the KOMs...




Oh being the best on that particular part of the trail?

Yea ...I suppose..

Man dude your a real bummer...I mean Strava is great tool, I mean like it’s like real, and when you know I need to go and really hammer it gets me out the door.  And well I like comparing myself to all my followers and see how I stack up! I mean I think with my work load and TSS i ould could really elbows with the best in scene..




I get it...I’m not bashing it or anything...

Hey Henry 




Yeah 

Aren’t you concerned about making routes




No, I usually have a pretty solid idea before I live where I’m going, and well if I don’t that’s the cool factor of just getting out there ya know..

Hey Henry...




Yeah...

What about those end of the year reviews ya know the one that shows all your miles and time
 stats..



Oh..the version I use doesn’t allow me to that.

shit bruh your still using the free one?




Yeah

Man dude why?




I don’t I don’t like paying for things I can do for free, and besides I hear there increasing the annual fee.

Dam, you that cheap? An extra 100 bucks a year is gonna cramp your budget?  You could make your cycling life a lot simpler and save yourself time, instead writing your miles, and time on that  free calendar you got from People’s Federal Loan and just pony up! 

Might give ya, more time to ride, read, or listen to your new favorite album?

Hey Henry 




Yeah..

Aren’t you gonna come back on me? 



Here’s the deal dude...
Im all about the experience and making my life a tad easier, im not that aggro guy 24/7 everyone thinks i am, in fact I've softened up more over the past decade than ever before. I get the Strava thing, im not that much of a dinosaur that i dont understand the lure Zwift. 
My big gripe is when companies are making huge cutbacks, laying people off and then jacking prices up without a solid guideline. I understand its all about the grip, and the company hasn't increased its prices in ions. different stokes for different folks, but there last shenanigans has me more and more not seeing the point in having an extended account or if any with Strava, man dude if you have lost that much soul that you need an ap to get your ass out the door you might wanna reevaluate your space on this rock. 

Hate on ol Henry all you want but man im not even TMS and I hate TMS...
