Addiction LXXIX

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Time for my night ride.

Remind me to count the number of shifts while I'm riding. If it's more than ten I will resign as a road cyclist.

So if you get to 10 in the first mile or so, will you get off and walk home?

In that air? risky! Indianapolis has cleaner air than Knoxville. Sad.

Hmmm....
Sliced bread is the greatest thing since Di2. If you can find a way to install externally without it being fugly, do it.

I had a couple of days of bad air. Yesterday I dropped down into a valley and could smell smoke. My throat got a little sore. I think it was the stuff you now see in NJ. A couple of morning sunrises were also strange. I’m in York, PA. Everything seems to have blown east now.

I've never had a shift cable, front or rear, fail.
