Mail - Good News/Bad News
I just came in from getting the mail.
Good news: not one but two cycling mags came: Bicycling and Road Bike Action.
Bad news: They both suck. Actually just Bicycling sucks, RBA is so-so.
BF is better than both combined.

Either yours or my mail is running about 2 weeks behind. BF is always on time.

Good news: Bicycling came again.
Bad news: I have no idea why they keep sending it to me, or when I actually ordered it in the first place.

I must be turning into a retrogrouch, because I seem to remember the Bicycling Magazine of the mid-1980's as being actually useful.
Not so much anymore.

I got some good stuff in the mail today... I ordered some Tektro R530, but they sent me Cane Creek SCR-3 instead. The seller sells those for $11 more than the Tektro brakes.

The mail may not bring any good news, but it does bring some great presents (from me). I should have about twenty packages coming in the next week or so.
