But all that aside, my main reason was Ernie Davis.

Should have just gone with the Bronco's. For a 6-0 team, the whining was literally unbearable here, and no one would have accused you of jumping on anything. Then last night happened. In case you haven't figured it out, a defense such as Denver has, only comes around once a decade, or so.

Twitchunts have to be the best part about running and tri-ing!!!

She's a Dallas fan? Smart woman.

But really, Buffalo is the choice. Sure they usually stink, but at least they're local.

Unbelievable D.



Speaking of football, John Gruden SUCKS. Every year I pray he gets replaced, but somehow manages to keep that job. Worst game announcer/commentator ever.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. My condolences.

Couldn't help myself and went to Velomine.com in Springfield, IL and picked up a Colnago CX bike. :)

Nice! I had no idea they had Colnagos. I pretty much only look at wheels there, and occasionally glance at Campagnolo track cranks.

Zero Evo Disc with Ui2?

So I rode my bike to work. You're all supposed to think that's fabulous. :lol:

But really, we'll see if I can manage Wednesday and Friday as well. It's supposed to rain Thursday and I haven't sorted out my fenders, yet. Though I am thinking of 3D printing some custom brackets...

I checked the schedule in our area and I think we're done unless I drive 3-4 hours. Probably be a gravel bike until nex year.

I get by with entry level Asics or NBs from the LSGS (Local Sporting goods shop) or DSO (Department Store Outlet).

Got my current Asics from the latter for $28

Got some Brooks for $130. They make good saddles I hear so the shoes must be alright. ;)

Hey, at least the 41 is consistent.

Oh mama, that's hot!

Interesting DT shape from the bottle cage mounts to the BB cluster. Never seen 'em flat there.

Tree company s taking a tree down across the street. I wanted to go over and see if they needed an experienced saw man but my wife wouldn't let me. :(
