Nah, ain't gonna happen . . . that thread is dyin' like a wounded quail.

*I* was tempted to jump into it, because whenever somebody makes that outrageously fraudulent statement that "all frames fail", it just makes my blood boil.

But the cooler side of my head prevailed.

Well that ride wasn't very helpful. Things seemed discombobulated almost the whole way and I got very little from it other than the cardiovascular benefit. Even my calf muscles were acting up, which almost never happens on an hour ride.

But I didn't get run over or yelled at, so there's something.

Anyone ever send someone a tweet of disapproval?

It's kind of hard to let off steam in 140 characters or less. Better than nothing, though.

I nearly hung onto the Tuesday night idiots this evening and won the sprint of the gruppetto.

The day of rue is coming very soon I tell you. Very soon.
