Huh. Going through the Instagram feed and I see that my favorite MTBer (Kate Courtney 
) is buddies with Reggie Miller. I never would have guessed that Reggie was a cyclist, but looking through his IG feed, he seems to be at least a semi-serious pretty damn keen, with road, MTB, possibly gravel/CX bikes in the collection.
I *hated* Reggie as a player, but he's really grown on me since, so this is pretty cool.

Interestingly, I learned the transatlantic sailing record stood for 92 years. Then it got broken 4 times in six years.

If I had today's winds on the seas I could set another record with this carbon boat.

That’s the monohull record, which is like a speed record on an upright, unfaired, bicycle. Banque Populaire, a trimaran did it about 50% faster, which is, in turn, about half the record speed for a wind-powered boat:

HTML continues mobilly. Perhaps it is permanent. A deep state plot to discourage bike forums viewing with mobile devices. Good thing I have the support of the tough guys

And already it is too late to begin a morning ride of any significant duration. Cooler weather coming next week though.

In this era of Photo-chop and elaborate trickery you can't be too careful.

One of the other threads has somewhat shifted to the topic of bargain hunting and, in doing a little research, I came across some NOS 1st Gen 11-speed hydro Di2 levers for ~$130 for the pair. If I understand correctly, they're compatible with all of the etube Di2 stuff. That would knock a huge chunk out of the upgrade cost, so it's kinda temping me...

There's a Tacx Flux Smart trainer at my REI Garage Sale for $270. The return tag says that an internal component "makes a noise." I have a feeling that the return excuse is BS. Tempting.
