And hates/is afraid of water, so we know he's not getting within 100 miles of a coast.

My daughter better not do that. We have money spent on her plans for a late 2022 wedding. Not changing that now.

Oh, I do. It's part of the job description. However, that doesn't change the fact that I was right about what you'd posted. If you now agree with me that Tennessee is part of the East Coast, then welcome to the party!

It was okay. I got a niece out of the deal.

EDIT: NOT the niece who won't get vaccinated. This one did a lot of the heavy lifting - figurative and literal - while Dad was in hospice care at home.

What do you say?

that's not much of an inspiration be it a flash or not.

I have a vivoactive - it's a watch.

Nice, captured your essence very well.

It's been said before but bears repeating; it's not easy being Velo Vol

That is outstanding. :thumb:

Seriously, she's very savvy about bikes and what she likes, make that picky about bikes. I'd have to drive or fly to Colorado so she could go hands-on with it before she would commit to buying one. Charts and graphs and a three-part harmony just wouldn't cut it for her.

sounds like time for an e-bike for you then.

That's pretty cool. Girl has talent!

Can you imagine anyone even wanting to try?

I dunno, but see if you can get a Klondike Bar out of it.

I think so, but I am admittedly biased. :love:

I swapped out the 11-25 cassette for an 11-28 in anticipation of Saturday’s Savage Century.

I accept your proof as submitted but it might not pass muster for someone.

You guys are all so helpful. :rolleyes:

Do it! If you want to feel better about the cost, we can talk about the basic boat instrument package the electrician and I are putting together for LSS. :eek:

you look very contemplative. As if you're thinking of ways to outsmart the censor filter.

Just showed my wife. Her response - "That is amazing!"

She's a big Matisse fan.

Let's hope this is the last time we see a spike. Note: State of Georgia data.

I just found this in one of my junk piles. I was thinking I might be too old for it and getting ready to sell or trade but then figured I'd put it on a road wheelset for the Lemond, and keep the 12-26 for the gravel wheelset
