Well, I'm not sure it seems like last week, but it sure as hell doesn't seem like 50 damn years ago!! Then again, I remember arriving in the Bay Area in time for the first big El Nino winter after the drought of the 70s, AND the first Super Bowl the 49ers won with Joe Montana as QB.

I was doing so well on the bike today, I think some guy on an old Kestrel accused me of being on an e-bike. It wasn't entirely clear, something about "the bike doing the work", So I dropped him. He'll probably comfort himself with the inaccurate belief that the old fat guy who dropped him was cheating.

I have reviewed the engineer report, and am satisfied they compensated for their strange location.

I'll agree on cheap beer, but the wear dimples on the tire are still quite distinct - it has a lot of miles left, probably close to 1k, as datlas said. The squaring isn't that bad and, on a rear tire, is irrelevant. I wouldn't toss a $20 tire with that much life in it, let alone one that's $50+

As of 15 minutes ago, a woman named Nicole Reist is still leading RAAM. I think she's almost 200 miles ahead of second place. Long way to go yet.

The boat is doing a series of day races and regattas in Maine this summer and I’ve been invited, but will probably decline. Wife and I might do a local distance race on our boat this season…or not.
I think my friend, a pro sailor who I recommended as a last minute substitute for this race, has talked the owner into some significant gear upgrades. If that happens over the winter I will probably do some racing on her next season in preparation for another go at Newport-Bermuda.

Friday, we did a nice little 45 or so miles, a couple k of climbing. Nice.
Saturday. I'll start off by stating I was the weakest climber of my group. But I never put a foot down. I made it up both Stiener Hill and the wall. It wasn't pretty but I did it. I would like to credit the guys I ride with for motivating and waiting for me. Great bunch of guys.
134 miles and 9600 ft. I set 48 achievements and 20 0f those are personal records. The best part...No cramping. It would appear I am doing better with my hydration plan.

If you don't regret it in the short term, post ride. It wasn't epic enough.

I think it's because she isn't on a road team. I think that's what Nino Schurter did when he raced the Tour de Suisse while he was the 9 time world champion cross country mtb racer.
Jolanda finished the TT in sixth and the winner of the stage had not been on a TT bike before, from what I heard.

Shopping for bike shorts. Lower tier though. If I'm going back to spandex I should have more than the one ancient pair

The Black Bibs are apparently very good value, for your consideration.

Hot one today - we might squeak over 100⁰. Gonna slip out for a short, pre-heat ride.
