Nice bikes, @RPK79 and @thin_concrete
I remain un-lightning-struck. Had a transcendent 20K TT today. No suffer, just felt great. Nicked by Nemesis yet again. But honestly this race today felt like some kind of very different experience- just calm, collected, Zen, I approached the edge and did not fall off. Totally cool vibe, made me feel like I could really go somewhere with this stuff. Steady 107% FTP effort. Second place, happy with it.

Rain, wind, etc.
Watched all 6+ hours of Paris - Roubaix, then took a nap, swapped the cheap crank out of my CX bike for an Ultegra 6800 and now I'm off to a birthday party for my 14 year old grandson.
Sleep good tonight even after the nap.
