Bespoke things/products are game changers if not life changing. <——- let’s please move on.

Sort of like “artisan.”

What I want to know is, why is it "ART-i-san", but not "ART-i-san-al", but rather "ar-TEE-sanal"?

I've been retired 25 years from my main job where I had to attend workshops and other semi-intellectual classes. I probably was exposed to "thinking out of the box" ca. 1995 and yet I'll still hear some idiot on tv say it. <cringe>
He should probably stay in his "wheel house." <more cringe>

Rode the trainer for 20 minutes today. A century must be just around the corner! Set the bike up with a flat pedal on the left, wore a flat soled sneaker with cloth under the arch and tape across the injury. Actually broke a little sweat. Now icing the foot while hoping I didn't undo any healing that had happened. Doesn't feel too bad.

Just got back from the mythical group ride. Mythical in that there was an approximate 50/50 girl/guy ratio.
Still not sure that really happened, seems unlikely.
Pretty nice weather for the valley but still very warm. Now I'm prepped for July rides up north.
Also the first time I've ridden the Legnano in a couple years.
