It was my thin balaclava, used for rides 42F-55Fish.
By December we'll be reminiscing about the days of innocence when no one wore masks in public.

Best paint jobs I have ever seen. Photos don't do them justice.
Edit: Heh. I was su busy looking at the bike that I totally missed the vagrant sleeping on the bench.

Today's ride was one of those all-too-rare things for me - I set out in to a ***** of a headwind with the hopes of having a tailwind on the way back... and wonder of wonders, it worked!

I have done Cycle Oregon four times. Between that and some other large events, I have seen a decent number of Co-Mo tandems. The one thing I have never seen is an blah one, much less an ugly one. Sometimes I think they must refuse to agree to bad pain scheme requests by customers.

I still think they’re hideous (don’t tell WhyFi), but I’d just never look down.

I have a gravel bike project rolling around in my head: titanium frame, Campy Chorus. groupset. Still thinking about wheels. May build from scratch, haven't built a wheelset for myself in a while.

1 more week of paid time off. The store was planning on opening 4/2, but it got moved back 1 week. I built 91 bikes this week, and did another 20 or so preps.
With AZ now shutdown, the extra $2k will come in handy.

Depends on what the budget becomes. I know some of these guys from the cyclocross circuit and their bikes are beautiful. Their Drifter would likely be the big budget choice. Our shop used to have a relationship with American Bicycle Group (because of QR), so I am looking at Litespeed. Plus, I lusted after Litespeed road frames BITD. And, of course, Lynskey is on the list.

If I'm going to take a positive out of this mess, it's the timing - if my MIL had acted with any sense of urgency and got in to an assisted living facility before stuff went sideways, my wife would have been a wreck. W'burg has a large retirement community and has been the worst county in VA.
The positive test wasn't in my mom's independent living building. It was in the assisted living building, which is even more disastrous.

It's a potentially disastrous situation. Put a bunch of old people together, some really old, and expose them to visitors and staff coming in and out. Her place acted quickly and shut everyone out and if you lived there and left, you went into 14 day quarantine in your apartment.

I ordered a pair of Assos bibs not not bibs from Competitive Cyclist and they came today in a box with a return label for Back Country. Did I miss something? Same company?
