59 miles today, standard Sunday route. 3200 feet of climbing. Mostly took it pretty easy, but there was no real headwind for once, so on one 3 mile, mostly straight, slightly descending section, I got aero and went a little nuts. I didn't set a PR, because my top 3 times on there were all done with tailwinds, so they were a bit faster.
It was still in the 40s riding along the creek through Hillsborough, but it warmed up for the rest of the ride. Except this one spot in Woodside, crossing a creek. I swear, it's always 10 degrees cooler there than anywhere else! Beautiful sunny day, not a cloud in the sky.

With all the talk about fake shimano chains,
Would you guys and gals order shimano group set pieces from Amazon? Parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas, easier to send them an amazon list with all the pieces of the groupset then telling them which website to go to for each piece. Example, jenson has rear derailers but does not have shifters. Or do you think there is a high probability one or more could be fake?

for me the temperature was just about perfect except for the first half hour or so (went out at 8am), shorts, tall socks, long sleeve "jersey," wind resistant gloves. sweated just a bit in the sunnier climbs, peaked around 62 degrees, blue skies.

Even if Amazon is the seller, they’re just taking shipments in and stocking them. There’s no one verifying the authenticity of anything that’s coming in or is going out the door. But that’s just me.

I just watched the video. Not real convincing. Max power went up all else went down. I suppose it is better than doing nothing. It seems like he wasn't riding during the 30 days. He also was still sore on day 30. What happens after 30 days? No squats and go back to regular routine?
I'm not sure I could even do 50/day without the 22.0462 pound weight. Hmmm...

beautiful. we had pretty gusty winds north of you, the kind where it always feels like a headwind but probably isn't. or at least, is only a headwind 80% of the time.

I limited all my Ebay purchases of R8000 bits for the Litespeed to North America. AND they had to be authorized Shimano dealers and have 100% feedback. The cheap listings from China scared me off.

The gcn video wasn’t really clear whether or not he was riding. Also seemed like it was trying to advertise for woop.

That’s lame about amazon. Walmart actually has a pretty big selection of shimano groupset components. I’m assuming they are legit?

I'd probably avoid this one: Sold and shipped by Joybuy | Jingdong E-Commerce (Trade) Hong Kong Corporation
Looks like they only sell weird sub-Tourney level stuff though

Concur. And the maze underneath would all be thorny, given my luck. Not little thorns, like barberry. No, bigass thorns like bougainvillea.

No my best, but I managed to avoid the trap others fell into.

EDIT: Or perhaps it's more accurate to say I fell into the trap earlier.
