My ride for today got cancelled and we substituted getting some baby chickens and planning a coop and chicken run for the yard. My fiancee had been working on me for over a year to get chickens and she caught me in a moment of weakness after feeding me fresh eggs from her brothers chickens and she capitalized on it quickly. I love fresh eggs, but I'm not convinced that this will be worth it. She has had chickens most of her life, so I'll let her do most of the work I guess.

Hey folks, if you have a minute, please look at my recent thread asking if my Giant frame is salable. I would appreciate your input. Even the snarky stuff.

On week days in Houston I feel I need to let rush hour get done, so I usually don't start a ride before 9:00 AM. That is about as late as I would want to start during the Gulf Coast summer.

Bought lightly used, no warranty. But that's fair enough. I got it for 1/3 the MSRP in 2009. It has served me well.

Swimming is a solo sport.

Yes, but I think he means (I know I do) that you are all alone in the pool. Sure there are the other participants in there with you, it isn't a time trial. But you are not swimming along with anyone from your team. And even if you were, there wouldn't be any communication. No peloton or paceline pulling you along. No one leading you out on a sprint.

Just finished a fantastic 50 mile club ride. Five riders. We even had a guest rider who is a collegiate racer from RPI who is home for spring break.
For some reason, the strava app on my iPhone is not working (when I load it, it kicks me right off), so I can't prove it. You will have to take my word for it.
