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

You're just saying that because the Jax-Razor at the LBS was so impressed by you.

Evidently you can meet women at those things. It seems to have worked for Willie.

I do not think we heard very much detail about this trip..... or maybe it was just lost in the addiction abyss.

There was a guy at the LBS who was very much how Crash and I imagined R*z*r is in person. He was quite impressed with crash's carbon pedals, socks, and guads.

Nice 44 mile ride this evening. Did about 21 miles solo then met up with the bike club. I'm now a whopping 32 miles from reaching my goal of reaching 1,000 for the month. Woohoo!!!

No, no, no. It was, "How YOU doing"?

does anyone know of a custom wheelbuilder that does powertap rearwheels?

Everyone seems to sell them as sets (at least on their sites) psimet, november, williams, etc... I am hoping to get a 50-58mm carbon clincher on a pro+ hub for ~ $1200 (hopefully less) which seems ballpark since the powertap sets are between roughly 1600 and 1700.

Gonna email november about it tommorrow, but they are out of rims for the time being anyway.

I know it's not custom, but I saw a link to this on the other side of the internet. https://www.trisports.com/power-tap-pro-dtswiss.html

Haven't heard from coasting since the mountain climbing challenge. I hope he didn't fall off.

I just went mountain biking today, and it was fun. Wet, and muddy, but fun none the less. It was more fun than I remembered, and we didn't even smoke any marijuana.

Yeah, something like that. What sucks is that I can't get him back since he rarely has his phone on.

I don't think I've had Mary Jane out for a MTB ride since around 1992, but it's still the most fun ever. I'm hoping trails dry out by Sunday so I can hit up some of the local action.

I've been off-roading it more this spring, since my road bike is in pieces right now. Not real MTBing, the country bike isn't tired for that. Just cruising the farm fields around here.
