How was the supply stock? The one by me didn’t have much left since it was changing hands.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure anyone wanted to be reminded of that.

Just what I always wanted. I wonder if they're big enough to hold a can of beer?

But yeah, I like the stem, too - paint-matched is always a big bonus.

FWIW I can't find it exactly bit I want to say that bike is $3-4k.
Size feels 52-ish.

Regardless, I'm sore and achy and I'm doing sessions under an hour with climbing and intensity that's way less than most of y'all.
Anyway, I'll be glad to get back outside when the weather abates a little.

Zwift is just trying to piss me off this morning.
I'm looking to complete some ride maps for bonus XP, so I decided to do Everything Bagel, the longest NYC map. About 20 min in, and with close to half of the climbing out of the way, something ***** the bed and I lose HR and Power shortly before the desktop app shuts down. No map completion for me.
I didn't feel like restarting EB, so I went to Makuri Islands. I completed one course there, while chatting with a buddy. Started on another course and, about 15 min from the end, Zwift interrupts and ends my ride with a "Hey - your subscription just ended."
Awesome timing.

'Great Expectations' in the vault. Great read. Moving on to 'A Tale of Two Cities'. I'm glad I found Dickens when I did.

Perfect fall morning for a ride. 45°, light winds, and not a cloud in the sky

Hey Velo Vol there is a “Brass Ensembles” concert at my daughter’s university tomorrow evening. Program below. I believe it is live streamed, but we will don our masks and hear it in person.

Today is the first anniversary of me losing consciousness on the sidewalk and fracturing my thumb. It was Friday the 13th.
