Tuesday ride was 45+ miles and 6 riders. Nice day but windy on the way back, windy enough so we couldn't talk when up to speed. My friend had trouble with his Speedplay cleat on the last little climb. He says they don't make the cleats anymore and he has the pedals on several bikes.

400+, typically, though my noise tolerance may be different. It's very quiet for probably100ish miles, the rest is acceptably smooth and quiet. Not sure how much the brand/formula matters, but I'm using Molten Speed Wax.
I rotate two chains, too. For me, the big attraction to waxing is not having to clean black gunk off of my drivetrain, which makes waxing a time (and frustration) saver for me.

I turn on the crockpot, set the timer on my watch while I do other things. After the watch goes off, I throw my chain in, which gets a quick wipe before tossing it in. set the watch for 20 minutes, and go have a cup of coffee or something. When the watch goes off again, I hang the chain over the crockpot, let it drip and wipe it down, put it on the bike hot, and go about my day.

No. Why? It's not an oil-based wet lube that attracts gunk.
I am. If you're not a "risk taker," Wippermann has reusable links.

It's a social, fun pace and we don't drop anyone.
Remind me next Sunday or Monday and I'll tell you where and when. You could also join some club rides if you're in to that sort of thing. sfvbc.org
