Thanks, Riddle.
I think I'm over the whole weight-weenie thing, as I've gotten a bit older and looking toward more slow-twitch riding.
Who knows, though. When I was at my peak, and one of the fastest guys in my club, I still got some stiff competition from a guy who was nearing 70. I might change my mind and
ride with the hammerheads again.
Feeling pretty good about it now (314 this morning), and keeping all my options open, but being able to tour is my current goal.
My pants are starting to look funny. I've pulled out my size 48s, and they fit now. Huzzah!
