You know, looking at that picture, I initially thought that seatpost has MASSIVE setback, like 4 cm! But then I looked where the BB center is, and I realized that unlike some seatposts that add a fairing to the back of the post (like the Canyon Aeroad), this one seems to have a fairing at the front. Still, it's a good 2-3 cm.

beware. I've purchased a number of Chinese cassettes on ebay and Amazon this past year. After 6 or 700 miles the shifting degraded noticeably. So I purchased a couple of genuine sram Force cassettes to replace the cheapies. Then I noticed some of the genuine products look distinctly like the Chinese versions and the Shimano versions were the exact same thing. These sellers are also selling chains marked as Shimano in a very suspect packaging.reminds me of the counterfeit cleats.

I'm still waiting for my 1994 aluminum Cannondale to spontaneously crack-and-fail.

Both of my aluminum Cannondales did not survive the '90s. To be fair, both were MTBs, and both had tubes crushed against rocks during crashes.

Giants fan hates the both of them and had no one to root for. Though honestly, slightly prefer the Eagles, so good enough.
Actually, I do think that outside of the playoffs, we should do away with overtime and ties. If the score is equal at the end of regulation, both teams get an L. Who cares if we don't have a .500 record across the league?

Also, "good" news - the exercise-induced hematuria is from a kidney stone. So, not fun, but not a big deal in the grand scheme of things (from what I understand). And would have just grown worse if I hadn't found it by running.

Yikes! That's not how that's supposed to look.

I did the same route I did last week on the Ritchey, but this week I was on the Canyon. Based on HR, I was 6 minutes faster over 59 miles with less effort, which seems odd, but I keep finding that with the Canyon - it doesn't necessarily FEEL faster, but it turns out to BE faster. Weird.

Never heard of that one but people I knew tried smoking banana peels. I don't think it worked. Remember "Supergrass"? Legal herb that was supposed to substitute for the real thing. I tried it, it didn't do anything.
I did smoke Pall Malls on and off. King size with no filter, you could smoke them right down to the end. I think there was one other big brand like that, maybe Chesterfield? Sherman cigarettes weren't a big thing back then but I did try them, gnarly. It wasn't until people started putting Angel Dust on them that they became well known.

Just checked my chain on my cervelo and it’s already showing time to replace. Checked my records and I have only put 1000 roughly on it. 
I usually get closer to 2500.

It's going to be 70 degrees here on Sunday. I have a 60 mile gravel ride on Saturday, in the cold. 60 miles and 2200 ft....on gravel. (Sigh) I hate the off season. It makes no sense.
I ordered a pair of 40 cm wide bars as an experiment for the zwift set up. I have 42s on it now and still get numb hands. But it is better than my out door bikes with 44cm bars. My hands go numb frequently, and I'm sick of it. So Im going to try what Coach Scott on you tube suggests. To wide of a bar bends the wrists, which mine do. I m starting to think he's right and that's the problem. Time will tell.

I put 40s on all of my bikes. I was doing it for the aero benefit but I have to say my hands have not been getting numb on any bike since I made the switch.

If I hadn't just gone through an excrucating day with a kidney stone, the Coke-colored urine the next day would have been alarming. This was some years back, and it only happened the one time.

Any day now, that Cannondale is going to crack and fall off the hook it's hanging by!

Looking at selling prices for houses, it's clear the best time to sell our house would have been 6 months ago, while the best time to buy another one seems to be coming soon. Thanks, Federal Reserve Board!
