Ditto. I've got arm warmers and vests in both of my cars, equipment bag, and a couple of my bents. (Bents generally have lots of storage)

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.

Watch out for the fish when you open the doors.

Do you have a greater sage-grouse? @BillyD is a no-show.
No is the answer to your question.

ikr.
I really wasn't paying attention; this happened as I was finishing up a banana and was looking for someplace to throw the peel. Even after it happened, though, I had a hard time finding the glass until I located the sealant splotches and followed the trail. It was a chunk of brown beer bottle and wasn't nearly as easy for me to spot as clear glass, so the banana distraction might not have made much of a difference.

Did 30.66 miles today in 75 degree dew point at noon. Thankfully, I was only going 75%. Did not need a vest or arm warmers.
To recap the past 24 hours: vinyl is good, serviceable bottom brackets are bad compared to a cartridge BB, tubeless is now bad, tubulars are now good, visors are bad but a cycling cap under a helmet, albeit hot as hell, is good. This thread is about food or photography, seeds ain't hip to avant garde John Lennon or Styx and Billy D is busy in August. Oh yeah vests are the best thing ever.
What did I miss, please advise. Thanks.
P.S. Pie?

I rarely nap. I do sleep 9 - 10 hours most nights. Have all of my life, even as a kid, teenager, and as an adult. It's in my DNA, I guess.

One of our Cat 3 gals decided to enter the Women's P123 National Hill Climb Championships up Pikes Peak today. She finished fourth, which does hit the podium in the Nats. Pretty amazing.

Pro tip. Don't take the dirt nap.
