Good ride today. We had 15 riders to start. I asked the gang to please split into two groups roughly 50/50. It did not happen. After the first major hill, one of the riders said her hip/leg was bothering her, so I stayed back with her. A few miles later, the grandfather of the group (77) got shot out the back, so I pulled these two until the rest stop. The lead group was just leaving as we arrived, I recruited one more sweeper, so the 4 of us finished the ride at a civilized pace. The difference in (ugh) average speed between the two groups was about 2MPH.
Weather started off chilly but sunny and it warmed up nicely. |

No commute, done at 4:30 which gives me 2.5 hours of light.
If I stop work at 4:30, I don't get to my parking spot till 5:15 or later, so I generally can't hit the road before 5:30. |
WAY back Wednesday. I was born too fat for this sport.

Now in Flemington NJ visiting the folks. My dad turns 88 in 4 days but we are celebrating early since daughter #2 is home. :bday:

I rode with my ride buddy, Mrs. T, today, and I even managed to keep up. :bday:
It was so windy she had a hard time staying on the road and had to keep catching up. My fat butt had no problem staying anchored to the road. :) |

So I read that the Kremlin is upset that the President called Putin a war criminal.
Crimea river. |

Yup. My friends always want me to join them for the Hell of Hunterdon. Roads have similar vibe to my own Chester county.
Fun fact: Hunterdon is one of the wealthiest counties in the country. It got as high as 4th. Last I checked it had dropped to something like 8th. Lots of NY/N. Jersey lawyer and financial biz money thanks to the building of I-78, which is slowly ruining the rural/agrarian nature. |

On a larger scale, this has the problem that Putin is a bully, and once the bully has a bloody nose he loses a lot of his intimidation factor. And "joint training exercises" will now result in a huge defensive buildup. Only horrible that the human cost of this is incalculable. |

Petraeus did a column for (I think) CNN masterfully examining the sequential failures of the Russian military. It's all the more brutal for being extremely flat and unemotional in its evaluation.

When I put it together years ago, I put a smidge of Carbon paste/prep on the CF seatpost, and it did not slip or seize at all over the years. I am inclined to repeat this process, but I did an internet and BF search and it seems there is no consensus on what prep (if any) to put on CF seatpost going into a Ti frame. I expect that means there is no perfect choice and it probably does not really matter. Thoughts? |
Had an awesome 40 mile ride OUTSIDE today. Was awesome!

But I did get a pic of a Ferrari 308 GTB, entirely by accident. I was trying to catch the light from the sunset creeping up the hills opposite me, and took the pic. Only later did I see the car. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...444533fbd3.jpg |
