Stacked my new and very expensive Spécialités TA 14-28 cassette onto the hub of my old road bike. No B-screw adjustment needed, but I did have to order a new chain.

Three-plus hours of slacking. You people act like you got lives or something.

I'll find some birds to post, don't everybody applaud at once.

So my company is sponsoring a group of employees for a Bike MS event here in June. They're offering to buy us company-branded kit from some no-name supplier, but they'd be NOT BIBs and "standard" cut jerseys. Am I a snob for turning that down and just riding in my cool kid NOT NOT BIBS and team jersey? Ain't nobody got time for riding a century in crappy kits after all the money I've invested in finding stuff I've liked.

Think of how much more food you could stuff in those baggy pockets at the refueling stations. I'm pretty sure that you need 100 cal for every two miles, so the pockets will be a lifesaver.

This bit of inspiration hit me yesterday morning. That's the logo of the century put on by HWSNBN. It's canceled for this year, but we weren't going to do it anyway.

I flippantly drank coffee with dinner, knowing a) my system would accept it and b) that I wouldn't have anything on the table tomorrow except continuing recovery.
