Then i thought, screw it. I'm ruining the fun of this year's riding before it even starts.
I need to chill out with the metrics and just enjoy the ride.

so i popped the garmin mounts off my stems. i might bring the garmin along on races or days when i want to challenge a strava goal, but in general i think i'm going to just roll. i took the first ride today, and it was...good.

i realize that most people may not give a crap about this. thought i'd share.
