Not really, but it's better than ever...and it's home. The city is putting in bike lanes like crazy. It's all the stop signs and traffic lights that make for weird cycling, A hundred mini-stops and mini-sprints. I can drive 35-45 minutes north for much better riding and I do when I have the time.

So I put the new ones on and took a quick ride. Much harder to get out of and I had to adjust one cleat. Bigger ride Friday I was lucky to clip out a couple times, then the cleat screws came loose and I almost fell. Got that sorted and today got them muddy and it made me feel like a novice. I'll figure it out.

bampilot06 what happened?
EDIT: nvm, saw that it was your teammate's bike so I'm less concerned (still hope he's ok). Sounds like the race went well outside of that - nice

Local club is having a social Mt Hamilton ride tomorrow, to see the snow.
You normally don’t have to ask me twice to do Mt Hamilton, but brrrrrrr. It’s currently 31.6F at the summit.
What do you think? Go or no go?

I'd stay in the garage... but that's just my proclivities
. The climb sounds great, the descent not so much.

I hit snow on Hamilton in May a few years back. Man was I surprised. Took it super easy on the summit and during the beginning of the descent. You will love it.

Yeah. My cousin's kid (kid? He's probably 50!) did a Century on Zwift. I don't know how he managed it.
When I have to do a longer ride (like yesterday and today), I look for routes with some rollers and some short (1//2 mile) to medium (2 mile) climbs, just so I remember to get out of the saddle. It's not a problem IRL, because, well - here's the profile of my usual Sunday route....

Would they have sent a bill for $0.34?
Same with prednisone.
