All this talk of memory loss and yet here I am sharp as a tack.

2 cm longer same angle. And I got the gloves today that we talked about.
Initial ride it feels better, and the my hand feels natural in the position it’s suppose to be in. I dropped it on spacer and I like how it feels. After some more miles if it feels like I can go lower I will drop another.

If you're bending it on a road bike and not banging it into anything maybe you could have someone make one for you out of a stronger metal.It's one of the few things I haven't had trouble with. I was in the mountains with some people I didn't really know and a lady bent hers somehow and I encouraged her friend to bend it back and it snapped off. Oops.
And of note, the P2, like most tri bikes, lacks a replaceable hanger. Never had an issue; sturdy CF. At some point the R2 will be replaced by a cheap-ish steel frame with a non-replaceable hanger, like that Smoothie, or a Ritchey Logic.

Wheels Mfg made a small run out of titanium a while ago. I'd have bought a dozen.

Oh and hey, for your "bars cover hub" fit, does that happen on the hoods, in the drops, or both? Mine are like that on hoods, but in the drops the hub is forward in my vision.

I've noticed yours here. The new ones are quite different, but also well-regarded. I did note that a review of the new ones said they respond better to gradual diesel-like increases in power rather than snappy sprints. Which means it's perfect for my power delivery type. One day. I won't replace my R2 pre-emptively with one, but if anything happens to it, that's likely the answer.

With the new stem, hub is blocked on the drops not on the hoods.

I like to sprint but I don’t know if I am good at it, and I definitely can’t sprint for long.

I have a daughter graduating HS this year off to either UW or UM next year per the plan. I do really wonder if it makes sense for Freshmen to attend college remotely and may be better off waiting a year. I just don't see how the value of a prestigious or big name university gets translated through online learning. Relationships with others will be limited, figuring out how to navigate university won't truly happen. Hate to delay growth and graduating, but it would seem that there would be some argument to do a different approach. On the otherhand depending on the major, many of those first year classes are just getting pre-reqs and fillers out of the way.

Yup, that's exactly what happened with my mom.

Bummer. Sounds like the other guy is game, though - you could always start taking off for town signs and see if he, or anybody else, joins in. Do you think that it would be frowned upon by some of the group leaders?

Here's the issue:
I never had an address in Canada. I did spend a summer there with my uncle when I was in high school.
Does that count? It seems like they might not check that. The only required documentation is for citizenship.

The opposite with my mom. She was relieved to be done with him and cleaning up after him and worrying about his drinking, etc. etc. She eventually moved to Boise to be near baby brother. She lived 15 years after my dad passed. When she got sick my brother asked if she wanted to go back to LA and be buried near dad. She said no, 55 years was long enough to be with him.
