Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I’m sort of in the same way. Pretty sure I’m having allergy trouble because I’ve had a lifetime of it but some of my symptoms could be sinus issues or a cold. Who knows? Could be a combo thing.

They did a covid test on my daughter and she was negative. I’m pretty sure what ever I have came from her. There’s something going around Willyburg.

In a venn diagram, we're in the part of the year when winter and mowing season overlap (not to scale).

Also, historically speaking I don’t really get knocked to the ground by pollen. I usually have more issues in the fall, but what do I know.

So I can interpret this correctly. What side is winter and what side is mowing season?

Here in NorCal, those two overlap almost completely, barring irrigation.

Did this shirt have really long sleeves with laces or straps at the end?

Simple short sleeve t-shirt.

The pocket is supposed to go in front, not the back.

Maybe your just a trend setter. We’re you the first to wear two pairs of polos at the same time with the collar popped?

That’s something that should never have happens but it did, and you can re live it by watching Hitch.

Making progress on Habanero build. Cables and housing done. Brakes connected. RD set up. I still have to connect/adjust FD and install chain/wrap bars.

I connected the RD cable to the RD but it looks funny as the cable looks curved as it exits the housing and is connected to the RD. All my other RD’s have been in a nice line. See pic below. Is this right?? I think it is, but looks wrong. Ideas??
