wuts the pinch bolt? I figure out a way to get the cable in the slot, but then I don't know how to get the cable tight again.

Pinch bolt. A BOLT that PINCHes the cable to the derailleur.

Quite a bit warmer here than it was last week, about 95 at the end of our ride. 95 is normally not a problem but since we were not acclimated there was a bit of sniveling.
We start with a few hundred feet of climbing and I had a lot of trouble getting going. This seems to be the new normal for me. Later I feel much better and don't embarrass myself as much.
Anyway 5 of us did 60 miles. We started with 6 but one of the ladies turned back early because she was afraid of the heat. She could have done the ride, she's a good climber but always underestimates herself.
Also we didn't make a water stop in the last 25 miles so a couple of us ran out. That seems to happen a lot on club rides, too.

Wait. It’s been on the Bay for a year? And, you are thrifty/tightass? 🤔 This is not a time to worry about being insulting.

Finished my club-mate’s
ride. He invited six of his friends to do the ride with him to celebrate, but he extended the invite to a small group of us as well. So we had the bday boy, HIS six friends (who I had not met before), and five of us who went along too. It turns out his friends are serious cyclists and kept gapping/dropping the birthday boy. We would regroup periodically. But about 15 miles from the end, they all took off and left him for dead. I and my 4 friends stayed back with the birthday/ride leader and stayed with him until the end.
I don’t know if it’s ironic or just “tough love,” but if I invited a bunch of friends to my ride and they dropped me like that, I would be kinda pissed.
Thoughts??

If the cable just came out of the guide you might be able to get enough slack by putting it in the big ring, then shifting to the small without turning the crank.

Got on the scale and I'm still 4 pounds lighter than I was this morning despite having lunch and fluids. Think I'll have some water.

Now that you mention it, I used that very method to get the Litespeed's FD cable back into the unnecessarily shallow track on the BB once.

There is a 2000 Litespeed Ultimate frame in my size that has been there for at least 2 years. And at $1600 BIN, it will stay there. Of course, now that I HAVE an Ultimate, it would stay there even if they halved the price.
