My usual LBS extracted the broken bolt from my seat post collar and gave me a new bolt, both for free.

Didn’t do the race. By the time I got home, I was physically exhausted. Went to check it out, looked like a lot of fun, but I don’t even know if I would have been able to finish.

I didn’t know what to expect, and thought it was going to be a little bit more extreme. It was actually much like you described and I prolly would have been fine, but again I didn’t know what to expect, and decided It was best not to get in the way.

5:00 already. True, the days, weeks, and years fly by, but it's likely the hours that are the root of the problem.

Beautiful day for riding here in CA! It was cool and overcast for the first hour, but once that burned off there wasn't a cloud in the sky, which is a vivid blue like you don't see Back East. Temps were in the high 60s/low 70s, so pretty much perfect. I took the Ritchey, since I enjoyed it so much last Saturday on the C&V ride and besides, the Litespeed is all covered in dried sweat! At least it won't rust!
I stopped for a nibble and a drink half way through.

Stafford looks awful and the Rams look awful. Don't recall a Super Bowl winning team looking this bad.

AG and I were actually discussing it over dinner. Because of Stafford and Baker, mainly.
