- The 414(now the only road bike I have(while Bob is here). It’s been and continues to be a big adjustment)) was making a huge drivetrain racket yesterday . UGE. Couldn’t figure it out. How could it get so dirty so quick? This morning, in the stand, I saw that the chain was only riding on the upper pulley wheel of the rd. It’s a Suntour Cyclone first gen open cage number. Fixed that, did a little cable adjustment, a little limit screw adjustment and it’s good to go. While I had it in the stand I tweaked the spokes that needed tweaking to stop brake rub, and replaced the rear skewer. The old one wasn’t holding the wheel centered.
- And while we’re here a tiny rant about closed cage derailleurs. The open cage is such a wonderful invention. And too short lived.

It's about 50 degrees, 20mph with gusts to 30, but it hasn't started to rain yet. I could go out and get a couple hours in, maybe. Or not.

Flying out tomorrow AM to Boston for a conference on using AI in Biopharma. Not looking forward to it - low social needs introvert and all that- AND I'll be off the bike for a week, because after the conference I'm flying down to visit The Home Office. Coming back Friday night.

Fiesta Island time trial, 1st/2 in 35+ division, fourth fastest time overall. I rode a 27:26 on 275w, at 26.9 MPH.
Windy today, speed band was 25 - 30 MPH depending on location on the island. These races are real early, so even though they are local, I never get enough warmup in and always feel like my cardio is a bit blocked and not ready. Mostly limited by discomfort in the legs, but HR is far from maxed out. Still, it was fun to get out and give it a go!
One of the three faster times was from an athlete in the Men's 60+ age division..... Wow. What a specimen. I know I have a ways to go as far as optimizing my equipment and position goes in time trial, but still, getting beaten by an old dude is very humbling! 60+ counts as old to you guys, right?

And, yes, I remember 60 fondly.

big john I think they go rain or shine. I was prepared to abandon given the weather report, but fortunately it held for us. Our forecast has rain in it for today, but looks like it will come a little later. Is it rainy up in the LA basin?

In my mind you’re not old until 70 arrives. Think young and live longer imho.

edit, I actually live in the NE corner of the San Fernando Valley, so it could be raining in L.A. for all I know.
