What on earth was it doing at the Walmart grocery store gas station? It barely fit under the roof. I about had cardiac arrest.

If you had been at a Buc-ees you wouldn’t have had this problem.

The lady in the picture is extraordinarily strong. Not only is she really fast on a bike, she is a big mountain skier and mountain climber. She did Mount Whitney in 13 hours, which is really fast. I was sad when she moved to another state.

I was about 1 click away from ordering an Ultegra Di2 group set this week, but now see components of the new 105 Di2 showing up on websites. Hmmm....
