I still enjoy that movie.

I guess that’s the $200 question right?? I’m on a 28 S-works turbo that is supposed to be fast but doesn’t feel it most of the time. Granted, temps are generally in the 10s and 20s so who knows. The Challenge handmade tires intrigue me, but rumor has it they suck to mount. If RH made an extralight 28 or 32 tubeless, I’d be in.

Speaking of cold temps- I bought the Vertex WX-D from Pactimo when they had a 50%off sale. It’s unbelievably good- if it’s over 30 all I need is a jersey underneath. In the 20s and 10s just a light thermal base layer is enough.

I got so sick that quitting was the only option. Tried to go back once, it hurt a lot, so that was it. It became easier once I came to grips with never being able to drink again. That took some months and I was tough to be around.

Compartmentalization. And denial. And someplace else where I talk about the crazy **** happening in this country.

It’s really too overwhelming to think or talk about how nuts the world is. We’re destroying our planet and nobody cares because of… I’m not exactly sure.

My wife reads NY Times every morning and narrates what she’s reading and it gives me a ****-ton of anxiety, but it helps her with her’s so I don’t say anything.

Roding bikes and talking about them keeps me sane

Because of $. People at the top trying to stay at the top and the people at the bottom trying to claw their way up.

Yah

*sigh*

I try to but people keep derailing the forum with watches, knives, power tools, boats, baseball, football, depressing stuff, etc. :lol:

I had some Challenge tires for my gravel bike a few years ago, don’t remember which model, but they were like tough to mount. It’s like you need an extra hand or two. About the time you think you got it, the tire flops off the rim and you have to start over.

Yah, I’ve read that about them.

In my memory when it's that cold nothing feels particularly nice. That's why I'm in SC now :lol:

12 years till I go someplace warmer.

That's my favorite thing about coming home after being gone.

Kitties being extra cuddly is almost always a good thing in my eyes.

I have a dilemma.

For some of the gravel crap I’m doing this spring there will definitely be some off the bike in the mud type of stuff.

I’m totally happy with my Vector 3 pedals but I’m not sure it seems sensible to buy $250 pedal bodies for 5-10 rides that I’ll need it.

I’m thinking I could get $650 ish for the dual sided selling them- I could replace with a power2max crank /pm or just buy some MTB pedals and do these races without power. I guess the last option is a single sided stages. Decisions, decisions

You left out cats and Wordle.

I ordered a bike part yesterday.

Me too, but 3. And, an accessory the day before. And, a maintenance item the day before that.

I hate sweating more than I hate freezing. Much more.

Sweating doesn't bother me. It's the cold that I cannot stand.

Golf shirt weather here today. Temps close to 80. :bday:

Guilty of both.

Last night I think there was a possum in the yard next door because Stephen was acting like he did the last time there was.

It's cold here, but Sunday and Monday are both supposed to be in the 70s, but showers Sunday.

I need to get in some miles. I am 'posed to do a long weekend bike trip starting April 14th. At least the route is mostly flat.

Oops, dogs aren't on the list, I guess we need more dogs.
