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

I sent the seller a message asking "are you walking it here"? His response was not encouraging so I canceled that sale.Turns out it hadn't really shipped yet. I don't do moving carrots. I ordered a different one, saved $1.50 and had it in 5 days.
I keep thinking “should I?” Perhaps I should.

Combination of luck, timing and patience got me brand new specialized ones for a good price from the evil auction site.

I don’t know what model I have, but unless you’re from Velo Vol school of thought about winter, I recommend a light weight jacket. I’ve been wearing mine for the last three months and it is just starting to conform to my shape. I was recently given a “normal” weight vest, and it actually stands on its own when I put it on the floor.

Those fan cutout things in the arena, which is what you posted, may be the dumbest thing in the COVID era, which is quite an achievement.

why get the cut out for $30 when you can experience the glory of a live game only $10?

Just interviewed for a gig in Wonderful Wenatchee Washington. Fingers crossed (even though the houses are too expensive up there).
