We just had a storm front move through. High winds sideways rain. Couple rumbles of thunder. It's just windy now.

My 100-ish ride for tomorrow has been pushed back, but I might still do something fun - the wife was already resigned to not having me around for the first half of the day, so I might still have that long leash available.

Thunderstorms tomorrow morning, but not predicted for Sunday, so it could come down to the wire. Of course at the moment, the weather forecast and results are pretty much random.

I plan on a 100 mile ride tomorrow followed by 80 something on sunday. Also should get another 30 miles in today hopefully.
Does that make me a winner?

had to get my first prescription pair today. Picked out a pair of dragon glasses. Thought insurance paid full, but that was not the case. Asking price was 500.00 insurance did take a big chunk but not all of it.
All the ladies and my wife said they looked good on me, I didn’t fully agree but I don’t have the face for glasses or the knowledge. So what do I know.

I suggest try 80F85R. Give it a try. Likely to feel a bit more comfy, and I expect you will roll just as fast.

Two to three inches above the ankle. Should be getting a pair of sage green socks today to go with a jersey. I'd branch out from the navy more, but it's been hard to find socks around here.
Saw a guy Sunday that had socks up to his knees. Uh-huh, not doing that. Nosiree.
While we're at it, I like subtle kit - no team wear, fan wear, etc.
