Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Where did you find Cajuns to season the fish?

They were dried and ground up then placed in a small plastic shaker. Inhumane I know, but it sure is convenient.

Not all that difficult, but the wiring is definitely more complex than a regular outlet. Also all the outlets on the circuit become GFCI even without the special outlet model and wiring. You must rigorously follow the directions. One wrong connection and the whole thing doesn't work.

Well they are a very self-reliant community. They can do just about anything that needs doing. Maybe they just think jumping in the bottle and doing it themselves is the best approach. Ya know, skip a bath for a few days and you get some powerful seasoning.

I'm going to redo the ugly electrical tape. Maybe use bar tape. Actually, the 3M stuff underneath is strong enough in its own.

Hmm. That might be "problematic" for my sense of style and panache. After rotating the saddle towards the eleven o'clock position and the cleat shim install, my issues are mostly resolved.

Thanks for posting as I might still do it. I need about a Half inch shim though. Could be too freakish and I can't afford any additional scrutiny.

I use a shim as well on my road bike. I haven't had the same issues on the TT, but then I don't ride the TT for long distances and the position is completely different.

I discovered gfci breakers. I'm going that route. It's a not normal setup, like everything I do. I frequently find myself looking for parts and connectors that don't exist.

A quick search says Voyageur, which looks like it's a block away from Sven & Ole's, which is someplace that I need to eventually visit (if only because I've seen a million of their bumper stickers).

It's definitely staying out of hot or not.

Half inch is a lot.

My legs are actually the same length, but one sit bone is just larger per X-ray.

YMMV of course.
