No problemo. I saw two bicyclists on the road which is a bit rare for that street.
Apart from the penalties, UT proper didn't really stink it up. It lacks an SEC quarterback and has a lot of inexperienced players. Makes it hard to win.

I spent some time today washing a couple of my bikes, including the Ritchey, so of course I also re-lubed them. I spun the back wheel up while checking the shifting, and when I stopped pedaling it and let it freewheel, I discovered the freehub now sounds like it was filled with gravel.
Great.
So, I figure I need to service, or replace the freehub body. Small problem - it's a 25 year old Shimano 7403 hub, meaning there's a special tool to remove the freehub, and then, with luck, I can clean up and re-grease it, because I almost certainly won't be able to find a replacement freehub body. I found the tool. In Belgium. I ordered it, so it will be here sometime in the next...month. So, now the Ritchey is out of commission and the Bianchi is still in the shop, like an Italian exotic car, waiting for a part.
Good thing I have 6 alternatives.

Speaking of gravel in the hub, I was mountain biking in Tahoe in 2010 and whenever I stopped pedaling it sounded horrible. I took the wheel to REI up there and they dropped everything and replaced the freehub for me so my vacation could continue. That was awesome service.

An interesting tale. Seedsbelize2 came into being when Seedsbelize got locked out completely back in 2016, while trying to do a password change. Over the years I would take up the challenge, and fail. A week or so ago, I took up the challenge again, because I could log in on my chromebook, which has the password stashed somewhere, but not on the phone. As of yesterday I cannot log into seedsbelize2 on the phone, even with a known password, but it works just fine on the chromebook.

Here are some pics from the epic match up at Sun Trust park, home of MLB's Atlanta Braves. J-State has an impressive band.
Note: KSU won in 5 overtimes.

Aware. I hope you are right. But as Han Solo told young Skywalker, “don’t get cocky!”

I'm not sure if this list is current, but no they are not. Why would I cheer for KSU over the Mercer Bears?
