A little of everything: Beets, Swiss chard, cucumber, onions, eggplant, tomatoes, shi****o peppers, bishop hats peppers, rosemary, thyme and sage.

With the cover on spinach and garlic overwinter nicely.

If accurate and it sounds right, that is the first time I heard why sidewall cuts are an issue. I always wondered how one gets a cut on the side wall unless they run right alongside something. I had my share of flats with cont 4000s, but never on the sides. Probably luck and local roads has a lot to do with it.

I accepted my fredliness years ago so I wore one to the group ride Saturday. I was the only one and I don't really know them, but it was hot and I didn't know if or when there would be water stops and I need a lot of water. One of the guys was chiding me on a climb about having seen me climb better before. I told him the Camelbak was slowing me down.

When I ride with my regular club I never use it because I know there are water stops. With a lot of solo riding this year and water sources turned off and wanting to avoid stores, especially when alone, I started using it on hot rides. With 2 big bottles and a 2 liter Camelbak I can carry about a gallon. I tried an extra bottle in the jersey and 2 bottles in a handlebar bag but the Camelbak seems to work best for me.

I am on track for a 200 mile week. You can surely top that if you are a serious cyclist.

Velo Vol , looks like you might be getting a LeMond facility for a neighbor soon:

(I think they're fine, too. We'll see if they spontaneously delaminate out riding)

Preliminary ride on the rear pads showed greatly increased stopping power and no noise :thumb:

which shock are you using?

I was thinking how in winter we have five straight days of clouds (how does water even evaporate when it's 40F?).

But when Velo Vol is mowing in July, the sun goes into cook mode and we don't have a cloud to cover it for hours.

I don't get it.

It's tucked in behind the ORNL carbon fibre lab. I like how the LeMond facility has more security than ORNL. Big ol' fence around it and a guard shack at the gate!

Fox Float something but it's low end and doesn't have a canister. I run 260 psi in it and it works pretty well except for lots of pedal strikes. It's a dw-link knockoff.

If you just need new seals, I'd do it myself for about $20 in parts. If the shock is damaged(dents or scratches) I'd pay Fox to do it.

I'll see if I can get a seal kit, I think the shock is still in good shape. Fox charges $150.
