A truncated ride today. I really really didn't feel like going, and half way through I still didn't feel it. I hit rain ten minutes out, still in the village, but it was only one cloud so I powered through it. At the turn around point the roads were dry and the sky ahead was black Easy decision. I don't feel that post ride refreshment, so maybe there's something going on.
The Mrs comes home Saturday night, bearing three jerseys and a pair of shorts. Thus ending the need to take my kit into the shower with me after every ride. Woo hoo! I'm basking in the glow of not having done it today either.

I would be much poorer economically if AG left me, but that would be the least of my concerns.

Mine also came with freehub bodies for Shimano and Campagnolo. The store (Competitive Cyclist) had them in stock with the Shimano freehub but I asked if I could get the Eyetalian style so they switched it and gave me the Shimano part no charge.

The urge to make organically-derived words spelled like they're pronounced erases the etymology that produced them and is incredibly destructive.

Well, I'm sure glad Zwiftpower put me back in D. I just barely took 3rd in a D race with a field of 8. Mostly, I burned too many matches, stupidly, sprinting for primes in a race with no primes, then having to claw my way back up to the lead group when two guys attacked right after one of the sprints. I ended up without enough gas in the tank for the sprint.
