The thing made a lot of noise until he got up to speed and it was forced against the rim. It was weird every time we slowed for a light and it started clunking again.

Well, I didn’t crash, I didn’t podium, I learned a lot.
I was the only one from my team in the Cat 4/5 race. Seemed like everyone else there was on a team and they were all working well together. The front kept slowing way down on the back stretch, I took the bait twice and took the front. Everyone hung back let me blow myself up. By the last lap I didn’t have anything left for a sprint. Pretty disappointed, but I did have fun. Just wish I knew better.
It was pretty hot today, hottest I have ridden in this year, and that def, affected me. My heart rate was pretty high from the get go.
Not sure what I placed but I know it wasn’t good. My wife and daughter came to watch, and the daughter had to use the potty which prompted a quick exit.
Told the wife to take pictures, she was sitting right at the first turn. This was all she took…………..

It's only 70 miles away, as the crow flies (albeit a pain to drive). Are you going to Chimney Rock/Lake Lure?

You could get those for $300 not too long ago.
That thing looks like it just came out of the box though!
The weird photoshop blur is giving me the willies though.
Waitaminnit, what's going on with that crazy rear derailleur? Sora Triple? N/M about the straight out of the box comment

I went to French Creek State Park for the night. Virtually all of the 2,400' of climbing was in the last 18 miles, and into the wind. Pughtown Rd. was a female canine in the open areas. And the final climb tot he campground is a Richard punch. Yesterday morning I stopped on Hopewell Rd. There was a giant cat in a horse corral. I called to him but realized he was stalking something. He pounced into some tall grass and emerged with what looked like a mouse in his mouth.

That was a long weekend. I tried everything. Heat, stretching, massage. I did a hard ride on Zwift and worked my neck around a bit once I was warmed up that helped a lot. Did the same on Sunday. I'd say 40% improvement in range of motion. I can turn my head to the right now and look up slowly. Lots better.
