The take home:
1. Its light at 5:30am now!
2. Beautiful morning here too. A little crisp though, in the 40Fs.
3. Riding with the disc this week just to fully test everything, I really like the way the wheel rolls. It feels like it carries a lot of momentum and you're just constantly topping off speed. Pedaling is funner with the disc.
4. Feeling mighty on the bike right now.

I had wild sardines packed in oil and lemon juice (drained) on two small pieces of toasted organic spelt bread with tomato slices and a bit of horseradish sauce. And black coffee. Breakfast of champions.

How many of these items will YOU have for breakfast this morning?

Nice. It's a fun little course but I wish there were some technical corners in it. That's what I need to practice.

I won't eat it yet for a couple of hours, but I've got my standard weekend breakfast packed in my bag for work: Bircher Muesli, which is uncooked rolled oats soaked at least over night in milk and mixed with shredded apple, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, dried coconut, cinnamon, salt, a little homemade vanilla sugar, and a little diced homemade candied orange peel. Topped with the berry du jour, which happens to be blackberries.

Keep that thing off my wheels. :D

Can't see any holes. Would they be hidden by the tire? Because I am not removing the tires (tubulars.) Also, it sounds solid I think, not water. And it is in both wheels. :(

Congrats! If it's not a Colin Laing, then someone went to a lot of trouble having decals made. :D

Just remember, the stoker is always right.

Like I said before, drama. In this thread human tragedy alternates for our attention with red Corvettes and confetti-decorated bicycle frames. That seems to be the accepted standard. Don't talk to me about proselytizing and tone deafness.

It freaks people out because the oats aren't cooked. But uncooked oats are weirdly sweet-tasting. The whole melange is really quite tasty.

Practical too, in that I can make up a batch on Sunday and breakfast is made for the week. I just grab a container and off I go.

Did Tuesday Night Worlds for the first time this year tonight. Bridged to the winning break of four with six to go. With two to go, they decided to attack while I was pulling, just as we were cresting the small hill and going into the nasty crosswind. I was not attentive enough and took too long to react. Got droped. Then the field caught me and droped me on the last lap. Takeaways:

- I'm glad I went. I ate way too much wind during the first few laps, so the practice was welcome so that I don't do the same this weekend.
- People on the break will pretend they are your friends, but they aren't. Do not trust them.
- For all the BF talk, those crabon wheels do make a difference, especially when launching yourself into the wind at 30mph.
- Doing an hour of sweetspot in the morning and then a crit in the afternoon is not the nicest of things that you can do to your legs.
- I'm out of stuff to say here. Wish I had ice cream.

And eat your hearts out, [MENTION=185471]WhyFi[/MENTION] and [MENTION=29415]BillyD[/MENTION]: I just ponied up a few grand for the 24-70/2.8ii and 70-200/2.8ISii. Stupid Canon with their stupid combo deal rebate literally twisting my arm and forcing me to splurge. Ah well, at least now I'm about done.

Ha ha ha ha ha.

New bike day. Steel is real, of course. I'm not exactly convinced it's a Colin Laing, and Trainsnorter said to check with the tandem forum but I was afraid one of them would snag it if I asked about it, so I just went and got it.

The little lady and I rode it down to the park and it rides pretty smooth. Unfortunately the bike has the wrong shifters. Luckily I have the right shifters in the garage.

The thing is, other than the big whites (which I'm not spending for or carrying around), how much is actually left? I'll have the 24-70L, 70-200L, 100-400L, 100L for macro, and 35/2IS for super low light general awesomeness. There's the UWA, but I have a hard enough time with composition as it is. What else is there?

Now, there's the 5D4 and SL2. Yes.

Yeah, that last bit is the saving grace. This will force me to get around to selling off my 24-105L and 70-300L, and maybe 50A, but I do have the 35/2IS and 50STM. And the 100L. Don't think I'll need the 135 or an 85, and that 16-35? Yeah, that's the bit I lack the skill for. Clutter clutter everywhere; a tight framing is much easier for someone with my utter lack of skill. Don't think I've ever wished for wider than 24mm. Or like twice. Might just do the 17-40L and save a boatload.

I mean, relatively.

Remember that. Mean people, jerks, friends. No matter what you call them, you're all in a race, and race things happen. When race things happen, nice things generally don't. Then, you sit around and talk about the race things after the race with those same not-nice, untrustworthy people, and do it again the next available chance you have.

Man-o-man, bike racers are weird.
