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

Great helmet. This is my second Ionos. I have the white/silver in the 2010 model. The one I just picked up is the '11 with the new Roc-Loc 5. FWIW, I like them so much I have two.

One thing to note, they did change the fit for '11 contradictory to their marketing. I dropped a size in the '11, the biggest place where they made a change was in the width fit. IMO, the '11 fits my head better, and dropping a size over the '10 saves some weight and looks a little less well, full.

3T Rotundo Team in Garmin blue -
Cabin fever has made my GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) act up. I've been really good, but I came across a bar that I already wanted, in the Garmin Team colors that work for my bike (red is the normal accent color - no goo), on super-sale ($142[!]), with only one remaining... and in my size.

A boring necessary purchase today.

Missed out on my early morning ride because I snapped my crappy tire levels doing maintenance last night.

Asked the LBS to give me tyre irons that won't break. Apparently they use these in their workshop and are happy with them.

First impressions: very impressed.

Thanks, and it is soooo sexy in person. If you click the image of the bicycle on their site it opens up bigger and you can scroll through the images.

Very nice. I went with the clown version and I'm very happy with them.

I had to look to see what you were talking about. haha. IMO, the "50" is subtle enough. And since I'll be rotating them with my shiny red ones (and also since it seldom rains in SD), they should last long enough to eventually become hipster-retro.
