I was all ready for my long TT bike ride. It got some KOM hunt love yesterday going like 45mph, but not much duration. If you must ask why a middling TT enthusiast needs a 56/42........that'd be why.
Then..........the di2 cruise home of shame. Neglected charging habits. So not quite 3 hours of gravel instead after a bike swap.
Damn the early morning trail runner groups. For F's sake, the trail is stupid wide and you run 8 dudes wide and act like you don't see and hear a bike coming towards you ringing a bell. Morons. It takes the motorist "why do bikes ride two beside" to about the millionth degree.
