It’s rare that I can convince my cycling friends to do a relatively long ride in the winter, but somehow I was able to get them to agree to an 80 miler for today. It’s a destination ride to a really good donut shop in Kutztown.
I would like to think it’s my cycling persona that sealed the deal, but it’s more likely that it was the promise of epic donuts.
I found a hard shell travel case on CL so will go check it out after the ride.

I think this is a fantastic time to get a ritchey breakaway.

they have their summit series jerseys on sale right now for $75 down from 150ish- I’m a huge fan and have been stocking up slowly over time. They’re super comfortable and cool nicely. They also have a pretty decent rewards program.
this jersey for $70 is a steal

It’s amazing how fast this infection hits and is gone.
Symptoms started Thursday morning as a sinus headache, fever hit Thursday afternoon, yesterday was miserable with body aches and a fever that wouldn’t go below 101even with NSAIDs.
This morning no fever, no aches, just congestion and irritating post nasal drip. I could probably go ride if my wife would let me (she won’t).
3 more days of isolation in my office…

I had one issue w. The R3 that was mostly related to winter abuse. No issues with the Aspero on either the stock or wheels mfg BBs
I had a cold with a continued cough that had been going on for like 2 weeks before this
I’m mostly irritated that
1- I can’t ride
2- I’m missing my friend/personal trainer’s birthday party tonight and
3- I can’t ride

Most of my jerseys are hand me downs, the few bibs I have are either no name or cutaway. my jackets are pearl, castelli and rapha.
Honeslty for the price. Castelli stuff I like the most. You can always find it on sale and the quality is great.
They just need to update their sizing.

I think I got my bout from my grandson in October, bless his little heart. Lingering sore throat, brutal congestion and incessant coughing. After 3-4 (sic) tortuous weeks I thought I was over it, but a week later it bounced back for another week just before Thanksgiving. I took 2 covid tests to make sure I wasn't spreading anything to family for the holidays. Finally, right around New Years the hoarseness abated. I think.
I swear, I don't think I've ever had anything like that before in my life. All the while, no fever.

As a senior regular here at BF, you should be accustomed to this in the winter months.

I had to get past garlic breath when I first kissed my wife, but she's proven over the years to have been well worth the trivial annoyance. I love garlic now anyway.

Having been here since 2005 I only recently discovered General. I've been told I'm too incompetent to use a glue less patch and told I was trying to exonerate the Corvair, at least I think he was including me.

Last Sunday's ride, despite the rain I was pretty comfy, except my feet. I wore toe booties, since it was in the 50s, and my shoes and socks just got totally waterlogged. It took till Tuesday for the shoes to dry, under a heater register, stuffed with newspaper. So I ordered myself some Velotoze waterproof shoe covers, which arrived on Thursday. If things work like they usually do for me, there will be no more rain this year.
