Makes me wonder if what I got Back East was, in fact, COVID. Mild sore throat, mild aches, turned into drippy nose with concomitant post-nasal-drip throat tickle. No real cough, no real fever. Passed in about 4-5 days. I never tested, because that would have involved having to buy a test!
If you traveled closely with another contact and they did NOT get sick, odds drop to 25%. If you traveled closely with another contact and they DID get sick, odds go up to 75%.
And that's what you get when you mix an actuary with a medical doctor.

You will never know, but I would say odds are roughly 50-50.

It's still VERY contagious so I think anyone with a "cold" should probably test. I am hopeful that future variants may not be so stupidly contagious and that the whole thing will fade into the pathosphere.
They are still sending free home kits if you order, and they are readily available at pharmacies.

So for various reasons, I am not really into using a saddlebag and carry a spare tube/minipump/tire levers/co2/etc. in a little cloth drawstring bag that I keep in my middle jersey pocket.
However, the bag has come apart due to some breaks at the seams and minor holes (likely from the edge of the tire levers).
Any good suggestions on other options? I used to just use a Ziplock bag but those seem to tear too frequently. I am looking for something a little sturdier. I wonder if they make drawstring bags out of Tyvek (tm) or similar HDPE fibers, anyone know??

Good news/bad news.
The good news is that for MOST people, covid is roughly the same as a cold.
The bad news is that it's SUPER CONTAGIOUS.
I still think it makes sense to get a fall vaccine if you have not had covid or a vaccine in the past 4 months, but that's up to each person to decide.

I don't know how their other types of bikes compare, but the TT on the RLT isn't particularly long or short. It's pretty much spot on with my old frame for TT length.

I saw a Tic Toc of the new Campy E groupset today its a 12 speed, hydro braked, triple.
Edit; it's not a triple, there are 3 chain set options. I misunderstood the narrator
