And in other off-season CX news. Yeow, get a load of those cantis with the U-brake style spring adjusters!!! Those pointy bits might suck a little in one or two crash scenarios tho.

A cool 87A after the sun set. We still have a mask mandate here in Yucatán, and I was wearing an N95 walking the streets of Merida this afternoon, at 105°.

When I bought my SECOND new car, I took along the Not-Yet-Mrs. GeneJockey. After I got the salesman to admit that the car in the ad had NOT, in fact, been sold, and agreed to buy it at the ad price, the Not-Yet-Mrs. GeneJockey demolished the Finance Lady, who was trying to sell us on the Extended Warranty by sweetly stating, "Well, we think Volkswagen makes pretty good cars, so we don't think we'll need that." If looks could kill..... |
I wonder if I'm light enough to ride a frame that light

Sad event this evening. I was leaving work and walking to the Saturn. As I was about to get in, I saw two deer running across the parking lot about 10 feet in front of me. They were spooked. They turned and ran across the next building’s lot and then into 30 MPH traffic. One got hit by a car with a loud hollow noise, the other avoided the car and ran off. I walked over to the side of the road where the deer was lying. Dead. It was about 100 feet away from me, close enough to see everything as it happened. The motorist did not stop.
Poor Bambi. At least she did not suffer, she died pretty much instantly. |

Well, I got two of these... Panaracer GravelKing SS + Plus ProTite 700x28 Semi-Slick Tire
Last time I raced Boulder Roubaix, I thought I needed to be fast on the road and the gravel would just be survival. I was wrong... The road was slow, the gravel was like a crit. At midnight. I hope these help a bit. |

Gonna move by June 4th? Weld County Grinder is that day. 66 miles, but only about half is gravel.

Is this an April fool's joke? |
Some of my friends are plotting an early season century ride out to Lancaster and back for tomorrow. I think I will give it a try.

I should have had today's Wordle in 2 but ended up with 3. Not too shabby and still batting 1000. :bday:

I also recall that you drove around with the sticker on the window for several weeks.
