I take 12.5 mg HCTZ every other day. That’s it, I count my blessings.

I've mentioned before that my grandparents raised rabbits and a lot of other critters. Sunday was fried chicken and rabbit day.
I also ate a few rabbit meals in Mallorca. They are pretty big on rabbit.

I looked up the weight of the Aerohead rims, and they're really light - 405g. A23s would be 450, and Archetypes 470, so whatever I build, or have built, on those hubs will be heavier. C'est la vie.

But I do like Zwift racing, because there's the competition, and tactics, but no crashes.

It's a good thing chicken tastes like chicken, otherwise I probably wouldn't like it.
