Really my only options are Amazon and MercadoLibre.mx. Everyone says they ship worldwide but no one ships to Mexico. And for good reason. Unless they ship by courier, it can take four months for something to move across the country. By then they've refunded the purchase price and have lost all. I will likely try a Qualidyne product, in the US$35 range. Bibs are only a few dollars more than shorts.

I actually have both bibs and shorts, and honestly don't have a really strong opinion. The "higher end" lines tend to use Bibs more because that's what the pros use, and I am fine with bibs but also fine with shorts.

134 miles and 9600 ft. I set 48 achievements and 20 0f those are personal records. The best part...No cramping. It would appear I am doing better with my hydration plan.

Nice.
My buddy did B to VT Saturday. It’s ~140 ish miles with 10k climbing, he averaged 240 watts with a speed of 20.9 and had numerous KOMs. He posts nothing on strava, so hard to determine what his actual training looks like.

You can observe the 41 thread in your own time. I have no skin in the game. I don't have an easily bruised ego. I am curious. Yellow

Made a map of my Vermont route. Stayed at Jamaica S.P., Mt. Ascutney S.P., Silver Lake S.P. (2 nights due to rain) Stillwater S.P. (was supposed to stay there 2 nights), Brighton S.P. (2 nights), municipal campground in Newport and a hotel room in St. Albans. Caught Amtrak back to Brattleboro the next morning. Hard to tell from the compressed profile, but there were some nasty grades, especially on some of the unpaved sections. Mileage inside of campgrounds is not shown. Nor is the mileage in and around Island Pond during the day off at Brighton and the mileage into town and back in Newport.

How would other teams react to a Trek-Segafredo rider getting help from a non-team rider?

This is the only kind of car to get excited about. One without a human driver. (contains cycling content)

I planned out a 42 mile ride (Dan would be so proud), and told myself I wouldn't have any pastries, but that tart cherry crostata had me under its spell. 1.6 miles of gravel according to ridewithgps.
