Just tell yourself that they're turning themselves inside-out, while trying to look casual, as they pass you and that they're going to slow down when they turn off the route in a quarter mile. That feels a lot better than Strava stalking them and seeing that they held that pace for another hour.

So are you just thinking about venting for the moisture regulation, rather than temp regulation? My Rapha has different fabric, front and back, and supposedly helps to keep you from self-basting in an oven bag.

Kind of both I guess. Today I was fine, upper body temperature wise. I didn’t even know I was drenched until I was done. But I would like the option to have some airflow if I were to get hot. My wind breaker has the pit vents. So if I start to get warm I open those first. If I’m still hot then I start thinking about maybe removing something. Like arm warmers. or keep the arm warmers and remove the jacket itself.

Vaguely on that topic, there’s an actual Honda CVCC in the neighborhood. It’s even in pretty good shape other than the muffler not being attached.

A lot of them are making road bike looking e-bikes now. You can also get a "Copenhagen Wheel" or some such thing and stick it on any bike. We had a guy fly past us on Tuesday and at first glance it seemed to be just an old road bike but I could see the huge diameter hub in the back which is a motor.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new mandate from the governor requiring mask usage at all times (except when eating or drinking) when in common work areas, which includes my desk out in a high-ceiling shop environment.
Trying not to kvetch too much since I get why it's happening, and a lot of other people have already been doing it for months, but man it's going to be obnoxious.

It's all a matter of what you're acclimated to. Look at Vol for a minute (and only a minute), he thinks it's winter already.

Man, some poor Schmoe on Craigslist is trying to sell a unfortunate looking (the 650c wheels leave a big, unsightly gap between the ST and wheel) 48cm Cervelo RS for $1700. The thing's gotta be 10 or 12 years old and has the Ultegra with side-exit cables to match. Eesh.

I can understand the e-bikes for the casual rider, that bike is not designed for a casual rider.

You looking for N+1? There's an insanely sweet deal local to you on the for sale subforum. Don't you ride around a 56cm?

I've been doing some long-delayed unloading of some stuff, so I'll pop in to the usual categories and take a peek for anything interesting.
If I were to buy another bike right now, it'd be something with at least 3" wide tires, ideally 4"+
