Is this just something that came up recently, or have you been justing for years? Just because you just noticed it doesn't mean that it hasn't been going on for years. It could just be nothing, but it could be an overactive just button.

My semi-communicative cycling group decided to leave an hour early this morning, which they decided in an 11:30 pm e-mail. I got to the start point 40 minutes ahead of the normal start, saw the cars and no bikes, and took off to catch them. 20 mph wind was inconvenient. I caught up to them 43 miles into a 55 mile ride. They had stopped for coffee, which is the only reason I had a chance. I rode with them for about 4 miles, and they then promptly dropped me. I wonder if I should be reading something into this.

Also, might be a good time to pick up a smart phone so you can check your e-mails in a more timely manner.

I usually get to the start of a ride at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Gives me time to get ready without being in a rush, also get to go over the bike to make sure there are no issues. Nobody should ever show up at a ride at the start time.

Buying a Lexus to make trips to Redbox is like putting a compact crankset on a $10K TT bike.

As far as the compact I'll make you a deal. Join me for a race some day, you use your standard and I'll take the handicap of using my compact. When you beat me I'll install whatever crankset you tell me to.

You should listen to me about the compact. I guess you have to learn the hard way.

I was just starting my ride, some guy opened his front door, threw a block of ice at my head, and went back inside. It hit me square in the temple and knocked me over. I had my helmet on, but it was sitting far back on my head - I hadn't had a chance to stop and adjust it yet. 
Sounds like you pulled a Cardoso. But a flying block of ice???

Can't blame them for trying.
