Hrm. I don’t look as closely at Trek as you. My guess is it’s a matter of the nature of the routing and whether Cervelo can accommodate gentle enough bends.
Interesting to see that the direct mount rim brakes are roller cams! Very clever ones at that. |

In any event, if ever there was a prime candidate for a MUP soul-crushing, this was he. But I resisted and rode my ride.
Was it a BikesDirect Motobecane or an old one, fabriqué en France? |

Kudos on your restraint.

You might be right in another few months, but that's not the case right now.

"For your big, stupid rides" :lol:
That's really sweet, an aero bike that's advertised as able to take fenders? I wonder what the mounting method is, if there are hidden mounts on the inside of the frame or what. That would be incredible to be able to run real full coverage metal fenders, and if it looks like there's enough clearance in the front with the 30mm tires that you could maybe fit 28mm under them. Edit: hidden fender mounts, too. |

I just got home from a lunch ride. During said ride, I made a left with about 50 yards of room in front of a group of riders. Rode about three miles and had to stop to text one of my employees back. One of the riders caught up and asked me why I didn’t slow down so he could grab my wheel....
:wtf: |

Point being, if the guy mowing Smokey's yard doesn't wear a vest, I don't need to either. The robins were back on the lawn today, after a hiatus last week. I figured they had already started migrating south for the winter. |

Made a half batch of pickles with one of the garden cucumbers. None of my Thai peppers are even close to ready, so I tossed in a couple habanero from the grocery store - will give 'em a go later tonight and continue to test over the next couple days to see if they get hotter (and pull out the peppers if it's looking like they're going to get too hot).

That's basically what it all comes down to, anyway. "It doesn't cost you anything to have someone behind you" becomes "but hold a smooth steady line, point out obstacles, and don't make any sudden moves".
I'm waiting for the thread where the OP complains about the "irresponsible" rider he hooked onto all unbeknown and who failed to take adequate care of him, maybe 'causing' him to flat by just dodging a pothole and not pointing it out. Mind you, I skipped the last dozen years, so I might have missed it. |

Because I'm the only one in my house who eats pickles, I didn't buy any for years and had forgotten just how good a real good pickle can be. On the plus side, since I've started buying pickles again, I don't have to worry about anyone else stealing them.

I like a nice pickle.

Pickles are utterly gross.
