Anyone have a recommendation for a head unit? I'm tired of my Garmin 520, especially since it stopped pairing with my iphone (which seems to be a known issue).
What I need - ANT+ and bluetooth compatibility for devices, ideally auto-upload through an app to Strava for outdoor rides. I don't really use any fancy map or route features at all, Strava live etc. Must have a lap button
. So really simple, ideally a couple hundred bucks.

Need new socks. Years ago Mrs. bought a bag of black socks that fit great and lasted for years. Now they are wearing out so I ordered some Hanes and they are so tight I can't wait to take them off. Last time I bought white socks I had the same problem. Gonna try some Reebok socks next. Wish I knew what those old black ones were but they are unmarked.

Damn, I only have Torx down to t10, guess I'll have to avoid Garmin HRMs. The last HRM I had you used a quarter to open the battery hatch.

Yeah long climbs on Zwift suck - an endless push against trainer resistance. Epic KOM is about as long as I'll do somewhat regularly. And again it also has roller-y and flat-ish sections where I can get the flywheel some inertia.
AdZ - Did it religiously early on to get the Tron bike, now very seldomly. I put in a hard effort to PR before my hernia surgery and did a horrible positive split, went out too hard.... the last 10-15 min was awful. I think I got 46'. Mt Ventoux - Still haven't done.

I've been to a few car shows and they can be fun and interesting. Went to one that had a chili cook-off and we ate a lot of chili that day.
Went to a custom car show at the L.A. Convention Center years ago. Huge turnout. That was a fun day.
Also, the Nethercutt Museum is a few miles from here. A friend's father worked there as a mechanic for years.

Bad crash on today’s ride. It was on a reasonably fast downhill with tight turns. I was off the back (as I am a wussy descender) and did not see actual crash but my friend apparently overcooked a turn and wiped out hitting the guardrail. We called 911 and waited for about 10 minutes for the ambulance.
I don’t think he lost consciousness but was clearly dazed for a few minutes. Luckily it was not life threatening. He has a concussion and an open wrist fracture. They are keeping him at the hospital overnight for surgery tomorrow, with fingers crossed he comes home tomorrow.
Riding is great, but crashing sucks.

yikes, sorry to hear that datlas, hope your friend didn't whack is noggin' too hard and that the wrist heals completely. I too am a wussy descender. Fortunately, descending bravely is almost never selective in the available road races in the southwest US.

UAE Team Emirates rider (Brandon McNulty) takes over as race leader after late attack. Happy to see Zonie Brandon back in yellow!!!! Rode a break with very elevated company included Evenepoel, Roglic, Plapp and Jorgensen. Hopefully he sticks it!
