Never had index on a road bike before, and never more than 7 speeds on the rear. Just a weird year. Also thinking every day about retirement. I have worked 6 to 7 days a week all my life. Only taken 3 vacations in the past 40 years. Just want to do what I want to do when I want to do it. Won't retire for another 10 years or so, but maybe sooner? Again, it is a weird year.
