I didn't take the time to watch it. When I was still an addict, I used a stovetop espresso maker, with robusta coffee. A high caffeine coffee in a strong brew.

I joined in 2010, but spent the bulk of my career in C&V. We were warned to give the 41 a wide berth.

IKR The 41 was wild back then. Good times.

The Mavic MA40 though, pretends to be bigger than its stated size. This one was a Ukai. It weighs a ton! I wonder if it's steel. I got it as half if a $20 wheelset some years ago.

For cyclists... I suppose that there are a lot of people that ride at an effort level that's akin to walking, so maybe air intake isn't an issue. I don't know what they're protecting themselves from, but it's not getting in the way, at least?

I was, but after too many issues with the water failing to press through the grounds and shooting up the sides of the plunger and spraying everywhere first thing in the morning, I switched the pourover. As a benefit, it's all glass, so no plastic on the coffee.

I'm a daily espresso guy, but I've been hankerin' to take out the pourover for an extra dose some days. Would need to get some more beans, though, too - I don't think that my espresso beans would be appropriate. Maybe when re-supply next week.

One more discovery was made today. If I don't kill myself working outside in the first half of the day, I can skip the nap and continue to be productive through the afternoon.
Woo woo
And it sure doesn't feel like Sunday. Feels like Tuesday

Hey MoAlpha did you see the leader board? Maybe you should take a short spin this afternoon...

We are a boring drip coffee family. See pic below. I expect this is GNC Denali level coffee but works well and is consistent/reliable.

Speaking of Strava, I just got a left-field follow request. The guy is local and he rode today, but from what I can see, we didn't cross paths, so I'm wondering how I got dug up.

I get those on Strava (and Zwift) sometimes. These folks seem to follow hundreds of others. I think they are called “collectors.” I shrug it off but do not reciprocate.

Yeah, I checked - he's not one of those. Follows fewer than 40 people, most of them local. I'm assuming that he ran across me sometime in the last couple weeks and is looking for more route ideas or something. I accepted the request, so if my remains are found scattered among several dumpsters sometime in the near future, it was him.

Drat. Somehow the Hananero’s shifters are not quite identical in profile. When I redid the cables etc I set the level at the back part of the shifters. It’s level there and level where the hoods touch the top part of the bar. But the meaty part of the hoods (where you rest your hands often while riding) is NOT level and off by about 6-7mm. It only bothers me a little, but I don’t think I can adjust one of the hoods unless I unwrap the top half of the bar tape. Don’t wanna!
Suggestions?

I just remembered an older couple that I saw on the ride today. For their very typical grandma/grandpa appearance, they had some bangin' cholo bikes. I think that the ape-hanger bars were square stock that was twisted and then there's ALL. THAT. BLING.
