My ride out to Sycamore on Monday was much better than any ride to there I've done. The research I've done that suggests the best way to ride is a cadence of 80 to 90 is right. When we spin slower, we engage the fast twitch muscle fiber that burns glycogen and we build up lactic acid and run out of gas quickly. When we spin rapidly, we elicit slow twitch fibers and burn fat as fuel. That way we can run on our fuel all day.
Effigies are used in grieving by providing a tangible representation of what has been lost, allowing a mourner to connect with who or what they've lost , which can help with the process of acceptance and emotional expression, particularly when the loss is sudden or traumatic; they can be used to focus grief and memories around a physical likeness, offering a sense of continued presence even in their absence
