Hopefully it keeps the unwashed mass away. Many people who drank this water have died, I have not died yet, but I will some day. 
I have drank it for years, and know people who's family have drank it for generations, it tasty, and freezing cold.
The water is safe, the sign is a liability thing, all the springs in the area have similar signs.

Nope, but what I mean is there's no band or even hymns at church to perform in public.
And yet big bicycle makes the bicycle worse by added gears that aren't wanted or making them fatter.
A bugle with valves.
Spring/mountain water is good. I filled up at a couple spots back when I was a cyclist who ventured into Blount County.

These days I plan my longer ride around available hydration. Velo Vol would not approve

They have gotten markedly better in the relatively short time I've been a rider (Di2, TT frame design, superior gearing choices, wheel width, power meters). Going back more than that decade brings a whole lot more.

I wore my long-sleeve summer jersey this morning for sun protection.
Tomorrow will likely be fake miles, based on the forecast.

Solidworks is amazing for 3d work, and even more amazing for 3d assemblies.
Alas, my student version expired long ago and we only have AutoCAD at work.
I've been working on 3d modeling in AutoCAD lately and I'm starting to get the hang of it. A lot of stuff is a PITA compared to Solidworks.

).Yesterday I finally got around to calculating the grade of my driveway, because this bad boy is the primary reason we need to relocate. As we get older it’s just too hazardous to keep cleared in the winter. So I dragged out the self leveling laser and the tape rule and calculated the driveway to have a grade of 25%. Needles to say I’ve never attempted to ride up there even though it’s only about 50’ long. #kneebuster
PS: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! (i just saw the photo too).

Nope.
I'm surprised you're surprised.
I don't know the lyrics but the oboe part makes for a good lament.
Incorrect. See post #15186. #RaspberriesBad
Just practicing enough to maintain status quo, basically. I haven't played outside the house since March. Sad.

I think my Gunnar might be considered modern steel. It's True Temper OX Platinum, tig wleded with sloping top tube. It's about 4 pounds in size 62. I have a Kestrel fork on it because that's what they had lying around. I haven't ridden it much since I got the Seven in 2012 but I took it today to the old club and did 60+ miles with 4200 feet of climbing. It's way more comfortable than the Seven but harder for me to climb with, partly because it's 21 pounds without pedals.
I'd post pics but Photobucket is holding my pictures hostage. It was free when I signed up, wtf?

Ok I have a dumb question. Can you use butyl tube stick-on patches short-term on a latex tube? I have never flatter my summer wheels that have latex tubes, but the double flat concern has crossed my mind as I carry one spare tube and some peel/stick patches as backup.
Anyone know?

It's obviously a prized bike converted to a townie by a now older and less flexible rider, but . That's a odd placement for the cable holder for the alfine shifter and it must be odd having your hands that far behind the front axle. It now probably has more wheel flop than a recumbent with tiller steering. Still if it means that someone can keep riding then overall it's good.

You all must be getting bored. And it's not even winter yet. I go away for a hike and come back to find more than ten pages added. I can't keep up on a bike, and now I'm struggling to keep up here.

Google search took me to WeightWeenies forum (shocking, right?) and multiple posters there say that usual butyl patches CAN work on latex tubes. So I suppose I can try if/when I get a flat. Assuming, of course, I overcome my lazy mechanic tendencies and actually put my summer wheels on the bike.
