Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I disagree. Grits can be good, but they are never the best.

When I was married to Clown 2's mother, we took a trip to Charleston, SC. We went to eat and I had a dish that consisted of grits, some tomato mix and some other stuff. It was quite tasty. My ex-wife made a rather rude comment about the dish and as much as I had enjoyed it to that point, the comment ruined the rest of the evening.
There is no limit to his heathenocity. Telling him twice is a minimum.

No milling, but I don't use too much salt, too much sugar, preservatives, or artificial anything. If labeling would allow, I'd be non GMO too. But, to each his own.

The LeMond is quite the nice bike.

It currently has 9 speed Ultegra. I wonder if I could switch it to 11 speed Ultegra.

...we end up using a lot of low chill varieties here, because they grow and produce well on the Valley floor. A freshly picked Golden Delicious grown up at 2500'-3000' elevation here is hard to beat for pie, but they don't keep well, so you almost have to grow them to get a good pie apple. Down here with less chill, Granny Smith, Fuji, and a couple of others that are less well known.

The single best apple I have ever tried here in California for pie is called the Newtown Pippin, which is a variety that is very olde, and for some reason grows well over near the coast here, like up around Sebastapol. They get used mostly as cider apples, but are just the best pie apple you ever met.......professional pie or made at home

...you could, but why ? 8 or 9 is the sweet spot right now. Chains are usually cheaper, less finicky in terms of adjustments, and she gets the same overall range, with just a few intermediate steps missing. Wait until everyone goes twewlve, and you'll get all sorts of closeout deals on 11.

Geez, a LeMond Zurich at 13? Can I go back in time and be adopted into your family? Or however that would have to work?

Very true. She is the odd one. She has the most capability in terms of bicycle cycling strength and tactics. Unfortunately, she does not get a lot of practice. She hates the two and three tooth jumps, but I really can't get her in a tighter cassette until she gets better conditioning. Strength wise she could run all day on a 12-23 cassette, but she needs a bigger gear due to conditioning.

I'm not sure of the size of the Zurich. It's a larger frame and Clown 1 is just growing into it. Mrs. Doug28450 used to ride it until I got her that dreadful Trek.
