Thanks!
This is a once a year type deal. The climate is different, the air is different, the road sucks. There are a ton better climbs, and getting 80-100 miles/10,000 feet is a walk in the park, and you don't have to deal with this crap.
I was 2:50 this year, which was very disappointing.

I didn't ride on Sunday because July is loosening its death grip on the Ches and a day with good breeze and survivable temp finally landed on a weekend.
Tried out our nice new genoa furler. Kind of 105-level, in bike terms.

I just met a patient who works for a wholesale bicycle parts distributor.
I half-jokingly asked if she could get me a good price on an Ultegra groupset, and she said she would be happy to.

That's about what wholesale is for the groupset.
