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 was going to ride the'16. But the front derailuer is not functioning. Doesn't show up on the head unit. Won't respond to pairing mode. When I push the button for pairing it immediately starts flashing orange. Effing Sram. Waiting on the company to answer my email.
What head unit are you using? My garmin had to do an update tonight.

That would be nice after having fried chicken, or some messy BBQ, or buffalo wings. Why mess with napkins when you can just hit the showers after you've had your fill.

it worked flawlessly, even with my 10 data points selected.

Two rides in with a garmin and I don’t know how I made it all these years without one.

I might have to perform a b.b. servicing after that. Some places it was under water.

It would be a fine day to ride, as it's sunny and warm. One of my cycling buddies is off and doing a century.

I am here at work, stomping out disease.
