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

I'm on-call pretty much 24/7 - I don't necessarily need to answer/respond right away but just seeing who its from or what its about so I don't have to stop and pull out my phone to check is a nice convenience.

I really liked the 810 but I really only used the directions function on it once so I don't think I'm really giving up much.

Just got back from Performance Bike, since I was out running errands and things...

They have already started their Labor Day sales and have 20% off on a ton of stuff. While nosing around in there, I found a real nice Giro Trinity helmet for only $34 bucks. Since I needed a new helmet anyway (and switch brands from that old, nasty, Bell helmet that I've worn for a few years), I picked it up.

It's a heck of a nice helmet for the price. Fits perfect, no pressure points or uncomfortable feeling anywhere.

Kool-Stop Dura holders with dual compound pads for summer. I'll switch to the wet weather "Salmon" pads in the winter. They are going on ebayed Dura Ace calipers.

That must've been a bit socially awkward, not to mention a nuisance when in the shower or getting a hair cut. ;-)

Got a pair of Schwalbe One tubeless tires in 700x23, and an Ultegra 10 speed cassette.

I took the 10 speed cassette and put it on my wheels for the Orbea, took the 105 10 speed cassette that was on them and put it on a 32 spoke wheel I had purchased for the Raleigh, and took the Sora cassette from that wheel and put it back on the stock wheel of the Raleigh.

I now have a trainer wheel to use with my old tires, my Orbea set up with tubeless tires, and my son riding the Raleigh in the factory wheels.

Jersey from my local shop. Like the shop logo, and the owner is a decent guy.

Tried buying some brake pads as well but none of the local shops had what I was looking for.

I ordered the Wahoo Fitness Bike Pack to make a $31 cycle computer out of an old iPhone.

a 50/34 compact crankset for the old 85 steel pinarello. it had previously been relegated to 15-40 miles rides around town because it is
heavy (and relatively bombproof) but i've done flattish/hilly centuries on it with a 50/39 and the bailout gear as a 39x27. i can muscle it up
short climbs but anything over 6% longer than a mile got pretty tough. it should be ready mon/tues and can't wait to ride it up some of the local
monsters.
