Dude - WTF? My shoes were supposed to be delivered today, but UPS tracking says that it's going to be delayed due to a "TRAIN DERAILMENT," which seems to be UPS-speak for, "$#!t, we're running a little late on this one."

One shoe probably fell out of the train during the derailment.

I'm peeved because I think I could have hung with the Road Nazis a few more miles.
There is a downhill then curve and then a short climb over a bridge. My speed was off and I had to slow at the worst place just before the hill. It killed my momentum and I couldn't accelerate going over the bridge. By the time the road leveled off I was too far out of reach to bridge the gap. And that was that.
Grrrr.

Scott changed the spec on the Addict R2. Now it comes with a compact crank. They have Fredded it down.

Cervelo puts compact cranks on their TT bikes.

I just watched a video on the Scott website about their formidable women's pro team, including E. Stevens, the woman who dropped me on the finishing Hook Mtn. climb at the end of the Nyack Ride two years ago. Hey, if you're going to get dumped by a babe on a bicycle, at least try to make it a top world class pro.
I think it's quite arguable that Scott is getting more exposure for their product from this thread than that stupid woman's team. So where's my free clothing, bicycle and pricey aero wheels?

Watching sports on TV is dumb.
Except F1 and the major Tours, of course.

F1? I had such hopes for you.
Now . . . . . . . . . none.

Gotta learn to keep your expectations low. Fewer disappointments that way.
I think F1 and Pro-Cycling are compatible: Elite-level competition. Full of primadonnas. Obsessed fans. Most of the best races are in Europe. Americans largely don't care about either of them.
