A truncated ride today. I really really didn't feel like going, and half way through I still didn't feel it. I hit rain ten minutes out, still in the village, but it was only one cloud so I powered through it. At the turn around point the roads were dry and the sky ahead was black Easy decision. I don't feel that post ride refreshment, so maybe there's something going on.
The Mrs comes home Saturday night, bearing three jerseys and a pair of shorts. Thus ending the need to take my kit into the shower with me after every ride. Woo hoo! I'm basking in the glow of not having done it today either.

I would be much poorer economically if AG left me, but that would be the least of my concerns.

Which version did you have? I still have a set of 1st Gen Ksyriums that are currently serving trainer duty, but I have never had a problem with.

I hear it both ways but not really sure what is the "correct" answer.
I recall that when I joined my local bike club way back around 2005, it seemed that EVERYONE was riding these wheels. They have become a bit less popular in the past few years....hence the Wheel Fairy's wheel of choice to give away. Possibly.

I wonder if those are the original tires? They came with Mavic tires and tubes and I still have one of the tires in my car in case someone needs it.
Mine also came with freehub bodies for Shimano and Campagnolo. The store (Competitive Cyclist) had them in stock with the Shimano freehub but I asked if I could get the Eyetalian style so they switched it and gave me the Shimano part no charge.

He's hanging in there. Still a bit delusional at times. He moved to a physical rehab yesterday. Very happy to have him out of the hospital. They got him up on his feet yesterday, for a few side steps each way. First time with his new hip. Nice people and the foods waaaayyy better. Thanks for asking.

Well, I'm sure glad Zwiftpower put me back in D. I just barely took 3rd in a D race with a field of 8. Mostly, I burned too many matches, stupidly, sprinting for primes in a race with no primes, then having to claw my way back up to the lead group when two guys attacked right after one of the sprints. I ended up without enough gas in the tank for the sprint.
