Car dealers literally mask their new car designs in optical illusions for road testing. So the public eye and competitors have a harder time getting the scoops.

Customs. Clearing times vary a lot. I had a package take 7 days to clear customs in LA once. A month later I ordered more of the same thing from the same vendor and it cleared customs within hours of arrival. Koo koo.

I actually don't know what the bars are, as my dad had them painted to hide the logos.

Also, this is the coolest disruptive camo =

Today I feel surprisingly fresh after doing a relatively quick century yesterday (5:45 moving time and a few top 10 trophies). Forcing myself to stick to the plan of a rest day / easy recovery ride tonight, even though I'm really tempted to do the wolfpack hustle ride...

Planned out the caadx build.

Wasn't too excited about it. I'm most likely not going to go bike camping anytime soon, and I'd only do fire roads and gravel stuff. Caad have held a soft spot in my heart, and I had an itch to build a bike again.
