Cordcutters here so no beisbol today.
We get 9 hours of it on regular TV tomorrow, so I’ll be sure to enjoy at least 6 hours. |

It used to be thought that being in the drops was faster.. but I think that the most aero position has been shown to be on the hoods with forearms parallel to the ground. Maybe they're up to date on their aero? :innocent:
I'm probably in the 25% region, too, but it's primarily about sketch-factor, not aero. I’m a little behind on the thread, but same here too. I find myself the fastest on the hoods just like you say. |

As my wife says, "I don't follow Hockey".
I was out actually cycling. On the road. Today's ride was one of those where you're not really feeling it, and your shifting feels wonky, and your legs just don't seem to have that snap, and the wind is in your face no matter which way you're going, and you figure, "Well, it's better than working, I guess". Then you find out it's your fastest ride on that particular route, and you got 10 Strava achievements on a road you've ridden dozens if not hundreds of times. So, I guess I wasn't THAT bad. |
My club has started posting a ride schedule again. There is a place to signal your intention to join the ride and the people listed aren't really the people I want to ride with. Before covid 40 or 50 people would show up and only 4 or 5 would indicate on the club site so there might be someone I enjoy riding with.
The other club which I joined late last year has about 6 people listed as coming on their page and I don't really know them. They're always friendly but today's ride is too short and I've done it a lot lately. I'm bad at making decisions, always. |
Time to ride :bday:
Then I have to cut one of my lawns :fight: |

Since modern bikes sizing is described in terms of stack and reach, I'm trying to translate the measurements of my current frames into terms of stack and reach so that I can compare more easily, but I'm coming up with some weird numbers. Must not be drawing something right :foo:
My only CAD software is at work, does anyone have any recommendations for some freeware that works decently well? This year my favorite 2D CAD program became paid only, and I'm not about to pay $100/year for something I use so rarely at home :( #Codger |

it was rained out by the time I turned in, but other games I saw them using seats behind the dugout.
It's kind of a cluster with improper mask wearing and constant fiddling around with the masks. I saw spitting as well, that is an automatic thing that's going to be hard to eliminate. That and crotch adjusting of course. |

Somehow my student version of AutoCAD from a couple of years ago is still working, fingers crossed it never dies. I wouldn't mind drawing one up and seeing how it compares to your results, just send me numbers for one of the frames. |

SkechUp? Or if you want to go true 3D, Fusion 360 (aka RhinoLight ;))
Happen to have a spare key laying around for Fusion? ;) I do have Solidworks on my work computer, so if I ever need to do any 3D stuff I could probably just use that at home.

This is not now, nor will it ever be an issue for me. I have no idea what is being discussed in many of the conversations here. And the acronyms and series' of letters! I barely remember the meaning of 'twss' from one incident to the next.

I had been seeing the notification that Draftsight was going to get rid of the free version, but I was just hoping that it wouldn't update on my machine or something. No such luck, they made sure that if you were going to use it you were going to have to pay for it :( I appreciate the offer, I'll see if I have any luck with one of the few free systems I found online. One of them seems promising but it's always frustrating to learn a new software after using a different one for so long. I'd probably made around 250 sheets of drawings using Draftsight a few years ago so I got really familiar with it. |

I can’t wait to see how they plan to pull this off, I think they’re about as delusional as the wh. They need a bubble situation like the NBA, but there are at least 3 times as many players and coaches involved. What’s the plan, Roger?
Bah. Humbug. |

Got my ride in. Had to stop 4 times to answer pages. Not bad all in all. At very end of ride got hit by a visual migraine which is always interesting, I am hoping no evil headache to follow. Ate a bajillion wild raspberries at one page-stop. They were quite good.

I suppose I could drop $100 and get new 10 speed Veloce brifters...... Then I'd need another 50 to recable.... Another 20 for new bar tape..... While I'm at it, that bar is 13 years old. Probably could stand replacing, there's another $50-100..... And the pedal spindles seem a little loose. Should replace those.... But they're old Looks, so if I replace those with new Keos, I'll need to replace the pedals on the other 3 bikes...... |

I think I will always have my appreciation of vintage steel, but there will come a day where I get a modern bike and I want to make sure that I get the right size. So I'll just take the opportunity to make translate numbers that I'm familiar with into numbers that I'm not too familiar with.

Then I googled 'visual distortion', and the first thing I read was 'ocular migraine' which described it to a T. And it went away within 20 minutes, like it said it would. WHEW! |
