We set out to do 60, but someone’s tubeless tire caused multiple delays and we ended up settling for 47 or thereabouts. It was blowing like stink on the way back.

Bought new shoes and pedals today. I suffered a rapid deceleration at the halfway point of my ride Thursday night. The new rig now has a dent in the drive side chainstay and is slightly bent. I have a friend doing damage assessment. Initial review was it should be ok. he had a bike shop BITD and still has equipment to check alignment to make sure.
I limped back with the usual scapula to buttocks involvement in addition to a direct hit to my big toe which caused a twisting of my ankle.
I will put my cleats on the new shoes along with my shims for leg length discrepancy and give it a go on the old bike tomorrow.
The front part of the rigid sole of the involved shoe was broken off requiring replacement. Pedal involved also was broken.
I don't want to do that again and advise against it.

Thanks for the well wishes, it is kind of embarrassing at my age to have to tell people why I am limping around the office. Also it was unforced self inflicted error. You guys understand because of the addiction or should I say addition.
Hopefully I will be soft pedaling tomorrow.

Turned on this game after dinner, and it is NOT what I expected.

And in fact, the measurement was the first thing I saw, followed by that fearless TD toss. Wow.

Poor DougRNS . It may be time to start taking it easier. Golf may be a more age-apporpriate activity.

Good news: daughter #2 got into Honors college at Pitt and they offered her roughly half off tuition!
Bad news: she says she still wants to go to NYU.
I told her NYU stands for Not Your University, she was not amused.

Pitt is a very good school and the cost savings are substantial. Has she visited the campus?
