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

There wasn't even a hit you'd notice. It looked like a normal, if not even mild tackle. Then he gets up, takes a step, and crumples.

Being understanding in the dark is counting for a lot, though you may not find it out directly for a long time.

That might be the catch.
Do you have your push present ready?









I thought not.

Velo, I would rather wake up early and ride on a day where I know everyone else is hung over and asleep than stay up late the night before.

Those changes would be more than I paid for the bike. Not gonna happen. My gravel bike is very close...CF wheels, maybe. My MTB needs a power meter, but is otherwise pretty close to perfect. My trainer bike needs new bar tape (I have it, I just need to put it on. I can do it all by myself ).
I’m kind of in the same boat. My Marvel is my daily and I love it, but I want to upgrade from 6800 to electronic shifting. My 60.1 is Campy Super Record and I’d love to convert my Marvel to EPS but then I’d need a new rear wheel and at that point I’m a couple thousand over what I paid for the bike new.

Maybe I’ll just stick with the newer Ultegra 12sp Di2. I do want to get the Speedplay power meters regardless at some point.

On a related note - those of you who do a lot of structured training: Do you have to barely get through a workout? Or is it enough to just wish you could stop?
Yes

Torn between going lighter with a Columbus Minimal or going heavier (but sexier) with a Soma Corsa.



I vote for the Columbus.

I could be happy living in Pacific Grove.

Always try to hit the seafood restaurant on the corner and across from the park.
