I have no vanity about what I carry on my road bikes. I have an ancient Cannondale Bugger on the handlebar of one of them. A normal size seat bag on both. The entire seat tube moves from bike to bike. My tubular tire bag is also from Cannondale. I don't like to carry more than a banana and my phone wallet in my jersey pockets, as a general rule.

My jerseys were wool, shorts too, but my pockets were in the back until I rode low racers.

I've seen gas stations with race fuel, but seeing one with Off-road diesel on the price board is a new one for me.

The only time I ever got sea sick was when I was down below on a whale watching excursion in Monterey. I was chatting up photography with another guy on the trip, when the diesel fumes got ahold of me. I left all my gear down below and ran up to heave over the port side. My wife and kids watched and got a real kick out of that.

I’ve had similar experiences from diesel exhaust while on fishing boats. Just awful, forces you to decide whether fishing is even worth it.

Yes, I haven't fully lived. Happy to not do so in the conditions you've described.

Got stuck behind this one person for most of the ride this morning. Whyfi is familiar, but I will elaborate for the rest of y’all. Pedal pedal pedal coast pedal pedal pedal coast pedal pedal coast pedal coast pedal pedal pedal pedal coast.
Worst part, this partcular person will speed up “catch up” to the bike enfront when he pedals and then coast to not over take. It’s a constant surge throughout the whole ride, unless the said person is pulling. It’s very annoying to follow. I did everything I could to prevent myself from slowing down every 3 seconds. I don’t know how no one has said anything to this person. I feel like still too much of a noob in the group to say anything but sheesh, someone needs too.

Then somebody THOUGHT they saw a spout, so they decided to run the boat in circles, slowly.
Then I DID get seasick, but there was no "run up on deck and puke over the rail", because the first deck was completely enclosed and the second deck was half enclosed, so if you puked from there you'd be decorating the windows on the lower deck. So, I had to sit as close to the center of the first deck as possible with a barf bag. I remember thinking, "If the boat sinks now, I might die, but at least I won't feel like this anymore."
As we headed back in, as soon as we passed Point Bonita, I immediately felt better and within a few minutes I felt completely fine. On other trips on the Bay, I've never had any problem.
