At one point, my cousin refers to his cyclist friend as a "biking queen." Again, this was in jest, but still, my cousin is a good three bills, possibly exceeding 350. I get that we (cyclists, road specifically) are eminently mockable, but damn - at what point do you decide that you shouldn't be casting stones?

I know you guys are all on tenterhooks regarding the weather for my big ride tomorrow, so let me set your minds at ease: temps should range from 50ish to 80ish, 0% chance precip, light winds am picking up to 10ish mph by afternoon. High humidity at the start (96%) when its cool but declining to 40% by afternoon as it warms up.
To summarize: that's some lucky weather.

How do you like your allez? I was between a smartweld and the TCR that I got. I chose the TCR because it was marginally cheaper, and Specialized was out of the matte black ones in my size. I couldn't do the colorful one.

I love it. Comfortable enough for all day rides. Tracks great through corners. Stable on descents.

Keep in mind, that I don't have experience with other modern framesets. For instance, it seems like a it has a pretty stiff BB to me but my basis for comparison is a 30-year-old Schwinn.

I'm just not into this neon trend with bicycles.
In fact, the TCR is the first bike I bought that isn't primarily white.

Trouble with weight loss and illness is the muscle mass loss. That sucks and getting it back on takes a lot longer than loosing it.

...the colourways come and go. You have to strike while the iron is hot.

I love dodging cars. It's a pastime or something. That aside, it has everything. My rides regularly spanned DC VA and MD, which was cool. Rolling hills through neighborhoods, that's something we don't have out here. Plus I mean, riding at night in a city on a brakeless fixed gear is just such a free-feeling activity.
