There is no place in Illinois that is 700' higher than where I live except maybe the top of the Willis Tower (1450') in Chicago and that's only if I go down in my basement (750').

After a week of nothing, a thunderstorm lands at 6am Saturday. There may be a 90 minute gap at 10-ish before the second one hits. Where can I file a customer service complaint?

Pro tip: don’t do it during a thunderstorm.

The same revision that has moved it so far east that I don't have concerns anymore. I may go through some motions anyway, in case it changes again

I guess you were running a fixed gear? Seems like maybe the lock ring wasn't tight enough or didn't have enough thread "bite". When I had a freewheel hub on an old mtb I used to keep an extra axle at home because I bent them so often. The last time it broke the chainstay.

Yeah, that's for Tuesday though. This is coming from the north. Will have a walk with AG in about an hour to get the blood flowing.

Broke off today’s ride early. I was telling myself I wanted to keep the load down for a longish ride tomorrow, but I may have just wanted to come home and drink coffee. I’m glad I’m not married to me.

Especially with a carbon bike, I don't ride in the rain or in the dark. I always get punctures in the rain and crashes in the dark. Just not worth my time. I want to enjoy my cycling experience and don't want to risk my precious getting hurt. I always say... my wounds will heal but not my bike....just sayin...

Grrrrr. Family obligations so only time for a quick ride today. Felt like a good day for a KOM run on a particular segment, though, so I went for it and felt pretty good about it. Got home and saw a 2nd place finish. Looked at the KOM... yup - car. I flagged it, of course, which gives me the KOM but not the recognition on the ride summary.
