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 would recommend this place not too far away, but it’s no longer open for lunch. Shame, because I was planning to go the Saturday before Labor Day.

Pencils. But, I did get an ice cream cone after dinner. So the day wasn't a total bummer.

Interestingly, coming into Ticonderoga is where I hit my maximum speed crossing the country. Around 49 mph.

I believe I've visited Ft. Ticonderoga, somewhere back in the mists of time. Might have been when Dad piled 7/8 of us into a car that looked like this:


hauling a pop-up camper, from Southern PA all the way to Montreal for Expo 67. Then, on the way back, we stopped to see people and places that meant a lot to everyone in the family but me, since we left Rochester when I was about 3.

You can sail south. See if you can sneak by the fort outside of range of the canon.

Customer is a larger gentleman who is getting recurring rear flats riding gravel on 34mm tires. This might be a good option for him. At least until he gets a set of 650b wheels so he can start running 45mm.

Installation wasn't really too bad. It took a few inflations before they finally sealed and held pressure though. The insert hinders sealant distribution inside the tire somewhat.

I went to the one in San Francisco a few years back. It felt like the Neiman-Marcus of bike apparel. High quality but prices to match. Cool posters on the walls.

I just checked and there is a Rapha Clubhouse in Santa Monica, not terribly far from here. 50-50 I go visit.

Grace made landfall in Tulum at 5 AM, as a Category 1 hurricane. 25mph winds expected to arrive here in a couple hours and continuing through the afternoon. Heavy rain expected this afternoon through tomorrow. This is the fourth tropical storm we've prepared for, each time with a little less prep than the previous time.
