I almost wussed out due to thunder and lightning as I was dressing, but I persevered.

Today's ride was tough. Really tough. It split very early on a red light. I was in the rear group and the chase was on. Then it never stopped being on. Probably the hardest I've ridden in a while. 30 minutes NP of 300W. 1 hour NP of 270W. Considering my FTP is ~250W yes, that was hard.
New bike is nice though.

These are definitely some keepers. You should get the critters to sign modeling releases.

Just got back from a 50 mile organized event. I forgot my fruit cake but luckily, they were passing out "Fruit & Nut" granola bars. Close enough.

Just stopping by to remind Billy that he should be pulling good ole American plugs on disc brake threads-
I guess pulling a Euro plug is more pro, though.

Do you have a greater sage-grouse? @BillyD is a no-show.
I actually was talking to a buddy at work last week about these. He's going to hook me up with some private owned land to shoot some. I've got other grouse but just find them pretty boring to shoot. Some of them are just plain stupid birds. They don't spook and you can walk right up on them.

Totally agree. Jersey, arm warmers, vest is much more versatile than a jacket, which is too hot for me a lot of the time.

56° right now and it's ride time - kind of wish I had a vest right now... 
Actually, SAS express shipped some replacement bibs for me, so no exchange for a vest, but I am still considering purchasing one while the sale is on.
You know how your awareness of a particular car goes up once you own one? I never knew how many damn Sportwagens were out there until I started driving one, but now they're everywhere. Now that it's on the edge of my mind, I have a sneaking suspicion that the times when it would be nice to have a vest will shoot up dramatically, 'specially as we creep closer to autumn.
