Remove the ridge that defeats Quick Release Wheel?

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

For whatever reason I have almost all Descente stuff; jerseys, bibs, socks...the stuff just lasts forever, fits me perfectly and like you said, is SO comfy. I have a Descente jersey that's about 15 years old, now if I could just put it on over my gut.

I'm sure the ride was fun, but I had a much better time with my daughter while she was throwing up all Friday night and on Saturday afternoon, so there.

We need to start planning another one right away.

i'm not sure when the next OC ride will be, but we have something in the works right now for the san diego mountain area - it's looking like a century, though.

try getting ahold of OCRoadie for OC ride info.

With enough advanced notice I can switch days with the X for my daughter. I will be there this time...I hope!
