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

Went to the eye doctor today. Plan was to get a prescription pair of oakley sun glasses, but at the last second I changed my mind. Went with contacts and another pair of glasses. Plan is to wear the contacts when I cycle which allowed me to get glasses I actually like.





Picked these tifosi davos up this evening. Super light, and good coverage. 1/4 the price of the prescription oakleys.



In other news BB isn’t doing well on the MadOne. LBS is reaching out to SRAM to replace it under warranty. If that doesn’t fix the problem then a new frame will be happening. I kind of want to go the new frame route since the back wheel is so hard to get on.

You know what's annoying? When a YouTube video's audio and video aren't synchronized.

Unfortunately, it's still at the shop. Broken rear spring. Still waiting for the part.
