In sports, "front runner" is a term typically given to the favorite to win. Definitely not the Sixers.
Don't know what he does, but off the court he's sometimes seen at the Whole Foods 'round my way. Saw him there over the winter with Jenner's kid, who he is/was dating. After I saw him I was talking to some guy I know who was at the bar for happy hour. I joked that I heard Simmons ask a Whole Foods employee in what aisle he could find the jump shots.

Also if he had stayed with Leonard and double teamed the shot, who knows, it might have made a difference. Maybe.

Maybe get some genealogy done while you’re there.

Born in Australia to a father who was very highly regarded in the national basketball player system. Now the kid gets quite a bit of coverage in the national Australian media because of that connection, but there does seem to be some strangeness to it all.

Sterling Hayden was also a sailor. Probably known best for his roles as Cpt. McCluskey in "The Godfather" and Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper in "Dr. Strangelove."

This sport is getting too damn expensive. My Quarq crankset died so now I have to buy a new one. Too much money.

Pitch the power meter crap and buy Shimano 105 stuff. It's quite good and good value.

I understand. Although I am a total math geek, I am not a data/numbers guy on the bike. For the longest time I had no data other than the strava app running silently in my back pocket on my iphone.
I finally drank the Kool Aid and got a Garmin (the 130) and even with that I have it running to show the route schematic, no MPH/HR/RPM data.

I have a PM on one machine and for me, it’s strictly mental candy at this point. I use it for nothing.

I had one for a season. I couldn't commit to the PM Lifestyle, so I traded it for a smart trainer.

I bought my next five year supply of wool socks yesterday, and promptly rode through cold rain on a day when none was predicted. Twice I rode through cold rain and my feet remained warm, if not dry. I find myself marvelling that I haven't gotten sick, as wet and cold as I've been on this trip.

I know this is heresy in some circles to go by "feel" rather than speed/power/cadence/HR but that's my story and I am sticking to it!!

Oh and, btw, I am loving the new to me 1980 Trek 414. Can't wait to get it home and outfitted with better pedals and wheels.

Speaking of cadence, another cyclist expressed interest in a new, larger crankset to avoid spinning out on a 50/11 combo on descents at ~35mph. Looking at gearing calcs, that works out to 100rpm. It just baffles my mind that someone a) considers that "spinning out" and b) that their first inclination is to change their equipment rather than doing a smidge of work to be comfortable at a cadence that's not terribly unusual during a typical ride.
