I used to say I aged backward during those years.

Well, THAT'S embarrassing!!!! The creaking noise the Canyon was making was the SEATPOST, NOT the press fit BB I rather extravagantly replaced. Boy, is there egg on MY face! A little assembly paste, properly torque down the screw, and....... silence. ALL the creaking noise gone.
I also raised the saddle the 3mm I'd lowered it by, and felt a LOT more able to put down power. I rode exactly the same route as last night, but 5 minutes faster over 22.6 miles, AND I felt a whole lot stronger. Maybe it's the position, maybe it's the relief from having solved the riddle, maybe it's that it's 5 degrees cooler - the wind was pretty much the same. I don't know. I DO know that yesterday I was tired and uncomfortable in the saddle and found it hard to push hard, and today was very different.

I was super in to botany when I was in school so I took quite a few biology and plant physiology classes. I'm just delighted that there is an alternative context for the root "turgid" than what I have seen before

Brakes definitely needed a bleed, but the seatpost and clamp wedge were absolutely dry. Added some carbon paste and all the noises disappeared.

I guess the Lady Wildcats aren't out yet. I forgot about the double elimination action. They face the Beavs next.

I don't feel too bad about replacing the BB. I'm pretty sure the Wheels Mfg. one is a better product, and I am a big guy. BUT I wish I'd thought of the seatpost first.....

My old hardtail MTB needed a seatpost regrease pretty regularly or it would creak, even out of the saddle.

9 runs in the 8th. Not good. The Mighty Owls will have win this one without me. I'm going to bed.
