My wife and I have ridden with our club <40 years and were informed this week that we have been disinvited to some club rides for being too strong/fast. WTF? We are both over 70. 
We have been ride leaders many years and we have never told anybody that they weren’t welcome to a club ride.
Also, I just payed our dues a couple weeks ago. Guess that we wasted our money.

I started getting shin splints (splits?) In my late 20s. Used to run a lot. Slipped and broke my ankle requiring a plate and 11 screws. Tried to come back 2 years later. The ankle isn't happy, the splints came back. Thus, running is dumb.

A guy I worked with buys and sells old cars all over the country. He said there are services that will inspect the car for you and you can get a car shipped more reasonably if you are willing to wait for a carrier to be in the area, which could take weeks or even months.
He also has a friend with a diesel pick up and a car trailer and sometimes they buy a car together and go get it.

Oh well, I think I'd prefer a 2-man tent that weighs about the same (3 pounds or so) and doesn't cost too much.https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p...sltrltntxxxcat

Just ordered my race team kit. Officially Stoked.
Next crit is May 1st.
This morning the Madone dropped the chain. Shifting from the big chain ring to the little ring. The piece that is suppose to prevent the chain from dropping, prevented me from putting the chain back on. There wasn’t enough room between the piece and the small chain ring for the width of the chain. I ended up taking it apart in order to get the chain back on. Hopefully it won’t drop again anytime soon.
My ride from today isn’t showing up on intervals. Never had that happen before and not really sure what to do about it.
Hope y’all are all well. Just been super busy the past week. Have to go back to work tomorrow.

Do you know whether the chain catcher pivots? Mine does. I’d imagine they are the same.

Exactly this. I couldn't have said it better. In fact, make them quit.

Went here again. Too windy for a road ride.
That trail ends at a debris basin. There are a couple of them on these trails and you can climb around them but today I didn't.
There are other trails that go over the ridge but they involve pushing which I wasn't doing today.
There is a trail in those bushes that goes over to the next canyon.
I took the easy way out.

My son is looking for a summer place in Dallas while he’s interning. Came across an AirBNB that is a camping tent in a back yard. $800/month.
