Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Reynolds traditionally uses their own (rebranded?) hubs on their wheelsets.

I would love to build up some Assault rims with some light hubs. Perfect all round road wheelset.

That's the kind of roads I use these Eastons on, so I don't destroy my c24 dura ace.

I beat the heck out of them.

And yet, they went on and on about how he was one of the best ever last night. I couldn't believe it.

When this man is wrong, he IS WRONG until he gets fired. That no huddle offense against teams with run games... what kind of idiot thinks that's going to work? I think there was a DAL/PHI game not too many years back where PHI had like 15 minutes of possession the whole game.

Oh, the bread. Yes, it was awesome. I didn't get a pic because I had to work late tonight, and by the time I got home there was only like 1/3 of it left.

BUT WAIT THIS IS CYCLING RELATED!

So I had to do the international meeting with these guys in Taiwan, and the meeting starts at 7pm goes until whenever. But the part we needed to be there for required a specific project manager from Taiwan to be there. But he was late because he rides his bike to work on Fri and is very slow. Eventually we gave up on him. We get to try again next week. Ugh.

Ben McAdoo looks like two kids in a trench coat with a fake mustache pretending to be an adult.

A classis was a game against the Cardinals. Philly was comfortably ahead at the half. What does Reid decide to do in the second half? Throw the ball virtually non-stop despite having the NFL's leading rusher--McCoy. Some radio talk show host crunched the numbers. IIRC, there was nearly a 15 min. stretch in the second half without one running play. What happens? They go nowhere and leave plenty of time for the Cardinals to mount a comeback, which they did. The Eagles missed the playoffs that year by one win. Not a division win. One win. And it wasn't the only game that they lost that year because of his poor decisions.

And my wing. We did this because I'm such a slob, and have no interest in being reformed. For example, I can't not spill coffee, either in powder or liquid form. Worse yet, I have a very high tolerance for clutter. My private bathroom is to the right of the kitchen. I also have a cluttered porch and a separate woodshop.

Total disaster, but my shop is in worse shape, currently.

The tools themselves are where they should be all the time. I'm persnickety about that.
