Nice! I'm just going to assume that you ride a little bit faster than me 
I will always run a mudflap if there is any chance of rain and/or riding in a group. The last 200k I did had about 4 hours of rain. I was the only one who had fenders. Not a whole lot of fun trying to draft.

Oh hey, does anyone have a solution for something like this? I'd like a system where there was a switch or button I could strap to AG's bike that would send a radio control to a couple of lights on mine. The idea would be to use them so that when I'm doing windbreaking duties, she can use it to request more or less speed, because I have no good sense of how much she has in her legs and have no chance of hearing her voice. It seems like a simple thing, but a quick Google is mostly finding smart home type stuff.

Good for you! Itll get better in time. Patience grass hopper. I dont know if you partake but get a mirror. I use a helmet mounted mirror and love it. I rely on it heavily. After a while you developed an awareness with it in your peripheral vision, you'll know when you need to look.

The thought keeps coming up so I'll just say it. How about a string, from her handlebar to your jersey. One tug, two tugs. A perfect, low tech solution.

shot down this morning. Found a 2019 al trek domane 56 cm on craigslist yesterday. I had seen it before and he has been slowly lowering the price. Finally got to around 650 so decided I would take a chance and offer him a trade. I have a bass guitar collection that I have been slowly selling off. Got turned down....
Worth a try.
60 degrees today got the okay to ride a little longer than usual so gunna go for 40 miles I think.

Ive sold most of the heavy hitters. Fretless stingray, Fender American P bass, rare squire p bass special with matt sparkle finish.
I still have a korean made spector 5 string, fender squire jaguar, and some no name beat up p bass. bought it for 20 bucks and prolly my favorite of the bunch.
Sold the stack a long time ago, but still have a eden nemesis combo amp.
Offered the spector and the amp he didn’t bite.

I rarely play anymore but still have all of my basses and my rig. Every once in a while I get the though to sell them and free up some equity, but just can't bring myself to do it. I've got a pair of Ibanez SR506 6 strings, one of which is fretless with an epoxy fingerboard, my first bass - a 5 string Peavey Millenium, and the 1978 Gibson G-3 that my dad gave me when I graduated high school. Amp is a GK1001RB II through an Avatar 2x12 cabinet.
I absolutely don't need the bass rig living in a townhouse and not actively playing music with anyone, but it's one of those things where it's not hurting anything to keep it around, and if I ever find the opportunity to play music with other people it's a super capable and practical setup.
