Is that just another way of saying coffee cake? Or is it something else entirely. Either way I could probably go for some about now.

I'm living free and easy in the NW Metro Atlanta area. No one is imprisoning me or otherwise holding me against my will.

I hope this isn't too P&R, but I read today that on FaceBook and other Social Media sites, antivax groups are basically swapping recommendations for all kinds of random 'home remedies' for COVID. ANYTHING but the vaccine, including topical treatments like Betadine! I worry that we as a society are becoming dumber.

It was probably based on wheat but had a ton of coffee added. She made it in the bread machine and I could smell it in the morning when I woke up. Good times.

I worked at a Taco Bell as my second job in high school. Still love it, although it kills me how expensive it's gotten.
I can live without the 7 layer, but I hope at least they learned their lesson in pulling potatoes off the menu.

Thats when it is showing.
So I ordered 2. A 58 and a 56. I never got to test ride a 58, and when I test rode the 56 the mast wasn’t long enough.
The 58 comes in october. If I don’t like it then I will wait for the 56, which just got pushed back til December from November.

They had another trek owner come in and let the shop borrow his larger mast to take some measurements for me. Unfortunately I was at work so I didn’t get to try it out.

Don’t really care for po-boys. Give me a good gumbo, jambalaya, etouffe, properly blackened fish, etc and you have my attention. We get bone in seasoned pork chops stuffed with andouille from the S. Louisiana shop close to my wife’s home that I could eat all year.

32" ? Is that the measurement you use? That's what I use and I would ride a 62cm frame. I like the bars high, though.

I like the reach of the 56. I’m a little worried I will feel to stretched on a 58 but, I might be over thinking it.

You called it a bike ferry, as if it operates just for cyclists.

I use 30.5 on my bikes with 175s, but 31 on the ones with 170s. But 56's are definitely too small. The Circuit is a 56, and with the saddle at 31" and the stem at minimum insertion, it's still 2cm more bar drop than any of my other bikes. Do-able for rides as long as 55 miles, but I has lower back ache for a couple days after I rode it for 65.
