I hate the cagers sometimes.

I was wearing a stylish orange UT hoodie on the trail yesterday and a passerby made a comment about me being "lost," as if proper fandom has geographic boundaries. SMH

OoooOOOOoooh - I have just been made aware that Schwalbe is now making tubeless, tan sidewall G-One Allround gravel tires. It almost makes me want to wear out my (black sidewall) G-Ones faster so that I can get some for the Haanjo.

We told them he sucked as a technician, but you can't tell a manager he made a mistake. One day after shift 2 of us saw him loading his truck with paper towels, toilet paper, and even packets of coffee. Stealing everything he could get his hands on.
They didn't fire him until it was revealed he was throwing repair orders in the trash if he didn't want to work on the car.

For me, it was the (assumed) smugness of being untouchable in their steel and glass cage once they step on the gas and pull away. Having their *******ry and license plates on tape mitigates that to a certain extent.
Never heard of upRide.cc, is it just an online repository of a-hole cagers?

Slow morning everyone must be working. I'm done now and will ride in non-peak temperature. I tried to hit peak temperature yesterday but got hosed when it clouded up. It was warmer at noon than when I rode around 2.
