Microsoft just reported its Q4 earnings and the news is mixed. The good news: it's a beat on both profit and revenue, excluding extraordinary items. Microsoft reported: Earnings per share of 62 cents versus expected EPS of 58 cents. $22.2 billion in revenue versus expected revenue of 22.04 billion.
First ride today on my first road bike (been a mountain biker until now). Averaged 13mph on a rolling route with a couple of sharp climbs. I'm quite pleased with that considering I'm still learning the bike, how to use the gears, ratios etc. I also expect it is going to take me a while to get faster.
Ideally your cycling practice will start with a hill 2-3 kilometres long and rising about 30-50m per kilometre, but we all have to take what is near us. Choose a nice relaxing gear, at which you can pedal up your hill at 65-80 rpm, keeping a consistent speed, and try to go up steadily. This is important!
