was supposed to be sunny and 65 today. Neither of those things happened.
Anybody have experience with time trial bikes? Buy new or used? could I just throw aero bars on the madone? Coach says my next bike purchase should definitely be a TT bike. I am leaning more towards cycle cross if not the emonda. But I think I will just race the C2 for now. Thinking of use. I don’t see myself riding a TT bike for fun, and I don’t see myself doing more than one TT event. Crits and Road is more what I want to do. I would like to do cycle cross in the fall, plus I can use the cycle cross bike on gravel. Not to mention they are a lot cheaper than a TT bike. |

Is it asking too much for people to try to keep up?

I backed the tension off and nothing happened, not really louder or quieter. I notice it jumping while backpedaling. In the biggest cog, it runs smooth pedaling forward but if I back pedal, it drops down 2 cogs and seems to bind a little regardless of tension

PA has 67 counties. I have ridden my bike in a majority of them. Without counting, I'd estimate at least 40 of them.

They have a bit of a special edition of the Madone for just this use case. The only real difference, as far as I know, is the handle bars - the TT version comes with some bolt-on aero bars. I would imagine that you'd be able to buy them separately.

The trek speed concept does look sweet, but I just don’t see hopping on that for fun, and the capital trail isn’t really clear until you get past Charles City.

When I was a kid in the 1970's we went to Hershey and back then you could actually get a tour of the chocolate factory.
When we moved there in the late 90's, they had eliminated the factory tour and replaced it with a Disney-esque faux factory *** giftshop travesty called "Hershey's Chocolate World." edit: fun fact, the stupid censor won't let me use the 3 letter word, starting with c and ending with m, that means "combined with" because it's stupid. |

It's ok. For whatever reason, it does rub my fur the wrong way. I am trying to come to peace with it. Work in progress.

I've had the same thought. Pactimo has their best winter long tights at 50% off, but nah.
This year, when the temps started getting down into the upper 40s, I found that if I dressed so that I was comfortable for the first hour or so, I got progressively cold after that, even when going hard, and by the time I got home from a two hr ride, I was pretty unhappy. I am scared of hypothermia, which I have had in the past and is just one mechanical away in this weather, and I took it as nature's of saying, "fake miles for you, old man." |

It’s looking more and more as though I am going going to need a Twitter “presence” in order to function professionally in today’s scientific “space,” in other words, ever hire another postdoc. Maybe this is a sign I should retire.

I hope I never have to sign up for that or facebook to do my job. If that becomes a thing I may be forced to retire too. |

I was jst about to leave work, having completed a bunch of scRNAseq analysis, and I noticed a little distortion in my vision, just below my focal point and a bit to the left. "Is this another ocular migraine?" I asked myself. Spent the nex 5 minutes trying to see it, with little success. Just about the time I decided it wasn't, I realized that it is, indeed, an ocular migraine. So I guess I'mma stay here at work for a while. especially since it's decided to expand right into my focal point.
Should be gon ie in 20 minute or so. The first one freaked me right the f*** out, but everything I read on them says they're nothing to worry about. Just seems like a bad idea, driving at night while having one. |
