I am mostly recovered from my shot but still a little crummy so decided to skip today’s ride.
Both daughters have concerts today at 3PM, so mrs datlas and I have to divide and conquer. She gets to go to the better one. I am taking one for the team.

I think the new wheels are appreciably faster, but the tires are new and better, it was breezy, and I don’t have power measurement on the bike. What’s for sure is they change the weighting and handling and aren’t quite as comfy and sure-footed as the Ardennes+ with their 21mm ID and 65 psi. These are 18mm and I had them at 80/75 today. They also get a little twitchy in the puffs.

Some of my unenlightened club mates still pump up to 115 because that’s the number on the sidewall. Sad!
I would hope Velo Vol knows better and is just being obtuse.

Ideal gas pressure law be careful, you'll get a suspension, a fine, and lose a draft pick

On paper, it's a beautiful late winter day in MN - mid-40s and sunny. In reality, it's damp cold, windy and somewhat miserable.

Since it’s a University with a music program I think you will get more traditional music.

Oh, and in the Only in MN category: I overheard a man at Chipotle, when asked about his choice of rice, answer with, "uh, wild rice?"
