Addiction 2022.4

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

My wife's shop loaned me a 2022 Trek Emonda SLR 6 mechanical Ultegra to test ride yesterday. I loved the handling and the climbing. Nice machine but I want flat top bars instead of round and an electric shift group. The shop manager asked me whether I wanted a SRAM eTap Force group with PM or Red eTap, or would I like Ultegra or DuraAce Di2 and a ceramic BB?

He said just tell him and I could pick it up Friday.




Anybody want to buy a Colnago?

No, just the ultrasound. They called it that though. "Procedure" is probably better

What do you wear on your hands for sub-freezing temps?? This is always my weak point and so far best solution is mittens but I miss the dexterity of fingers.
