Great shot. I think this is a re-creation?
Truly needs to be in the Ironman docufilm you must be prepping.
mild suggestion:
consider lobbying for a rotating sticky bike, that sits there for 3 months or some period of time. Eh?
Ironman's getting a bit of a free ride.

It is, no idea why it got a sticky. Perhaps the Legend is real..I will be passing that same spot around 9:30 am tomorrow, 40 degrees though.

No, but I was thinking of what a great bike shop it would make.
Frame-building in the back storage rooms (complete with vents where they used to cook hogs).
Parts-stripping of local buys in the middle section, for internet parts sales,
Completed re-builds for sale in the front two display windows.
Access to NC 56 for FedEx BikeFlights.
Plenty of open road to test bikes.
Clear fields of fire if I have to shoot someone trying to steal one of the bikes.
A convenience store a little over a mile away with cold beer and hot coffee.
Freakin' perfect.

You know, with those double headlights you're going to look like a car wayyyy down the road. Don't miss work, but for some reason I miss the ride in.

He! I wasn't commenting on the dress code for work, but on the weather! In weather like this I wear fleece pants and shirt, thermal undershirt, Smartwool socks, balaclava, reflective rain jacket, full insulated gloves. I don't bother to change for work, don't have to. But I'm getting tired of starting off in the morning in sub-freezing temperatures.

June or July 2017, first ride on the new-to-me road bike. Hadn't finished tweaking the bike to suit myself back then. I needed a lot of core work for flexibility.
March 2018. I think this was the day I tackled some tailwind assisted KOMs. Look pedals courtesy of Texaspandj. Had to settle for 2nd on my favorite 6 mile roller coaster segment. Then a friend took the KOM and bumped me down to 3rd.
New shorter stem, courtesy of RobbieTunes. Got in two rides last week before i was hit by a car while I was riding my Univega. Dislocated and fractured shoulder. Looking forward to riding again in a few weeks. I suppose I'll have time to finish that bar tape.
