Changed up my OCP'ness

Been riding at position #3 for a while, gonna try #2 for tomorrow's club ride. This change to match my recent rearward movement of saddle, to alleviate the excruciating quad cramps I've been consistently suffering.

Your inscrutibility remains intact.

Q-rings are racer-weenie gear not OCP. They dont fit the mold of bling or retro cool

True. They haven't made the leap (sorry...made the jump) to OCP yet. Some very notables using them at Sunday's crit.

Wait. Maybe this ISN'T BD's inscrutibility. Maybe this is a GENERATION GAP.

F me.

I feel better now. That's c. 1955. Even Pcad wasn't around that long ago.

However I must add that on the group rides Pcad currently participates in, punctures do not cause the entire group to stop and cheerfully assist anyone. Think 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen and you get the picture.
