I WISH. Well, one leg can do that, the other cannot. Tight hip flexors. Like I've said before, I'm falling apart like a cheap suit that got caught in the rain.

I was talking about my broken cable curse on today's ride, and one my my friends told me I should just get what he has.
He has a bike with SRAM eTap, and yes it is caliper brake supported. I suppose I could do this, but it seems effing stupid to pay three thousand dollars and get a bunch of battery headaches to solve my fairly simple problem.
again

Or bar end shifters. More paracido to brifters.

And now, thinking it through, I realize I could also harvest my elastic shoelaces from that same stash.
Wow!
Wow!

I enjoyed the race, especially the mountain stages. I hope it goes on.

I had friction bar-end shifters on my touring bikes. I broke the rear derailleur cable in Kentucky somewhere. I had a spare cable with me, the kind with ferrules on both ends. I used my nail clippers to remove the unneeded end.
Have you looked into aftermarket cables yet?
I was reluctant to stop using down tube shifters but now I wouldn't want to go back. I used to stick my finger into the front tire occasionally.

There's ONE MUP that I'm willing to ride on. Two reasons. First, there's very little traffic on it, and 2 - well, just look...

which stretch is that? i've only ridden that series of MUPs a couple times, and the parts where one might want to hammer it always seem pretty crowded and unsafe/unsuitable for anything other than a leisure cruise. especially the san andreas trail section from a bit south of the trailhead to the dam, and then again towards the southern end of sawyer camp. it's not necessarily crazy crowded like the two MUPs i'll willingly ride on (crissy field and sausalito-mill valley) but the combination of people, strollers, dogs, cyclists, and sharp turns and rollers seems especially dangerous!

I did a nice relaxing 68 miles today, including doing Old La Honda with the goal of keeping my HR well below LT. Mostly, my HR was in the 140s, with some 130s and some 150s, but mostly Z3 the whole way. Of course, this led to one of my slowest times for the climb, but I decided not to go full "Puke At The Top" intensity. Then, descending 84, I was a total coward, so that was THE SLOWEST descent of 84 I've ever done - 4 mph slower than my best!
BUT, but not burning all my matches on OLH, I had plenty of gas for a nice long ride. Imagine my surprise when I started being hit with raindrops! Yes, raindrops, in July! Not much rain though it was enough to completely wet the pavement a couple places. It was nice and cooling, so I didn't mind.
