There was one (maybe still is) for members of the media where they race similarly prepared Crown Victoria police cruisers. Fun to watch.

If you haven't ridden in any wet stuff with them yet, be careful when you do. In the dry, they're some of the most grippy tires I've ridden, in the wet they're one of the more slick.

I think that I'm going to roll the Vittoria NEXT this year, but haven't bought them yet. I did see someone selling the S TR at $55/ea, but I never thought that the GPk4/Attack & Force lived up to the hype, so I'm kind of hesitant on the S TR.

Have you seen the newer beaver toothed BMWs? I’ve had several Bimmers over the years, but I may have to become an Audi guy (again).

If they are worth it it's one thing but if they are only AS good as 5ks then meh. I will continue to search. Nothing has really caught my eye as of late though.

I had a coworker who got Dengue on vacation. She said it was the worst she'd ever felt, worse even then she'd ever imagined she could feel.

Went up the local mountain last night after work.

Put a longer stem on and moved my saddle back a bit - seems to have helped me rotate my pelvis more and get a bit of weight off of my hands. Still adjusting to the new position but 75 miles on it so far and nothing more than my lower back being a bit stiff.
Tried one of the little side roads on the mountain after descending for kicks and giggles- 18% switchbacks are a unique feeling

I got Chikengunya Fever once. Closely related to Dengue. Took 7 months to recover. Still have joint issues from it. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
