  1. ...like this guy. I think my noggin is too tender? My nads to sensitive?
  2. ..but interesting to see his skewering of Lemond. I wish I was paying more attention to pro cycling back then.
  3. ...folks here might have discussed an American 1 & 3 finish in a race like Paris-Nice Sadly, the last mention of Jorgenson was a YEAR ago. Congrats to Jorgensen and to McNulty. (And Evenepoel).
  4. ...in Taipei. One of the centers of the cycling tech world, @Rattlecan. Maybe qualifies as a business expense, too!
  5. The annual bicycle show ain’t what it used to be that’s for sure. Mostly taken over by e-bikes displayed by people who have no clue about the technology and are totally incapable of answering any questions beyond how much is it and where can I buy it. Used to be a showcase for components and services. I even had a booth at the show 8 years ago but I wouldn’t waste my time and money now. They have gone after a totally different audience. Don’t think I will be going back.

    3D printed a fitting for my Stans sealant syringe It took 4 attempts to get thread correct. It's an M6x0.75 thread, but the threads are akin to an ACME thread (more square than pointy). Anywho, threads on a valve stem easily. The current one that is on the syringe is fit tight and could be because its a softer plastic. But with access to Solidworks & 3D printer, why wouldn't I do this
  7. @TrentonMakes try this on for size.
  8. I had not until Ryan wore some home yesterday. He had been wearing my road shoes, Sidi Megas, but he has a narrow foot and was getting some heel slip. So he told me he was going to the LBS, which happens to be RBM (Richardson Bike Mart) to look at shoes. Turns out they were having a big sale. He tried on several shoes and went with a shoe by S-Phyre, which I think is a Shimano brand. Super light and stiff and lots of ventilation. Has a boa system and the they have really cool feature on the toe that allows you to open or close the toe box by moving the attachment point for the BOA cable. I am scared to ask him what he paid for them, as the ones I am seeing are pretty spendy. He also liked some shoes by Giant, but they were too flashy for him. We talked about riding together some. Maybe he does a warm up with me for a few miles and then heads out on his own. Will be easier now that I have road shoes again.
  9. Washington state is UNSAFE! FALL CITY, Wash. — Five cyclists were attacked by a cougar while on a trail near Fall City Saturday afternoon. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) officers received a report of a human-cougar incident with documented injuries on Tokul Creek trail, which is northeast of Fall City, Washington, at 12:48 p.m. A 60-year-old woman was taken to the hospital with serious injuries to her face, neck, and jaw, according to the WDFW. The woman has since been released from the hospital. “It jumped from the side of the road and latched onto her, and her friends were able to detach and fight this thing off," said Sgt. Carlo Pace, with the WDFW Police. Police praised the heroic action of the other cyclist who stepped in to help during the attack. The cougar was then shot and killed by fish and wildlife police. "They 100% saved their friend's life," said Pace. “They were able to pin down a good size lion with its claws and teeth and everything else under a mountain bike until we arrived.” Many cyclists on the trails were on alert after hearing about the attack. “It’s terrifying. I was up here on the trail yesterday," said Luke Chouinard. "I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, but there is definitely wildlife around these parts, so you always have to be careful and aware." The WDFW said cougar attacks on humans are extremely rare. Residents in the area told KOMO News that while attacks area rare, they still know they are still in wildlife territory and to proceed with caution. “We’re always mindful and respectful that you’re in their environment and just trying to make noise and move quickly and always be cautious," said Tim Woolford. The WDFW said a "subadult" cougar on the scene was removed by WDFW personnel. A hound handler was also dispatched Saturday afternoon after eyewitnesses indicated there may have been a second cougar involved in the incident. The WDFW said a second cougar was not found near the scene.
  10. Never thought I'd still be riding over 50. I did some challenging rides at 40 just because I thought 50 was out of sight when it comes to riding. I'd view 50+ forums and wonder how these old fokkers were still riding. Now I'm 58, and a half and still feeling pretty darn good. Almost 9 years beyond 50 and I can see how one can ride into their 70's. 80's is pushing it though I did have some cycling friends who were still out there at 86. Not sure I'd want to at that age. I think I'd be more inclined to do some walking miles at that age. But, I never thought I'd still be cycling at this age.
  11. Welp, my FSA SLK Light crank is toast🤬 The aluminum inserts that are bonded to the carbon arms are loose. Not sure for how long, but the non-drive side is very loose, and the drive is is slightly loose. First I thought it was the pedal, but nope. The insert moves. I have calls into FSA, and to a Cannondale dealer (I bought a bike from them). Being 12 years old I assume FSA will brush me off. But my goal is to get a Cannondale crank installed, which is why I contacted the store. PS this is why I hate carbon, specially when bonded to dissimilar materials.
  12. ...or, rather, he found me??? I was on my ride yesterday afternoon, and on the last 4 miles or so before getting back, when I passed a garishly dressed dude riding in the other direction. Bright yellow kit that was great for visibility. I thought to myself, "I wonder what team kit that is?" but kept riding. Anyway, a short time later, as I rolled to a stop for a road crossing, I heard a bike roll up behind me. That bike continued to draft me all the way home, and while I was waiting at a different intersection, I said hi to him and recognized he was the garishly dressed guy. When I got home, I checked out the rear camera footage, and noticed her IMMEDIATELY turned around after we crossed paths in the beginning. It was not a "natural" turn-around point, so he apparently did it just to get a chance to hop on my wheel for a stretch. As ever, I'm fine with folks drafting me. I prefer they announce themselves. If they don't, I stick to the bare minimum of safety warnings. If they do, I will often either chat with them a bit and/or at least be more active with warnings and comments. Not sure why this guy was so tongue tied that even when I said hi and commented about the weather at a stop, he was not very talkative, nor did he offer the simplest, "Thanks for letting me sit on" sort of thing.
  13. ...are inherently attuned to the wind strength and direction. Who else is in that club?
  14. @Longjohn's GOBA video postings (which I JUST NOTICED!) got me thinking of other multi-day rides, and one of the RV blogs I follow posted on their RAGBRAI ride this year from a cycling and RVing perspective that I enjoyed. I think it is a much bigger ride (30,000!?!?!?) but you can also see how it really does have a big impact as it rolls through these smaller towns. Gotta add it to my bucket list. I guess @JerrySTL has his KATY ride, I know @bikeman564™ has mentioned a cross Michigan ride. The video mentions events in Wisconsin (RAW) and in Tennessee (BRAT) and there is the one I wanted to do but didn't up in Seattle (STP). Is the one up by @BuffJim on the Erie Canal an organized event or more akin to the GAP/C&O ride whenever type? I gotta start collecting my "list" for rides after retirement options. In LJs GOBA video, I didn't see too many RVs - almost all tents. I'm a little surprised by that after seeing how many were involved in the RAGBRAI ride.
  15. @dinneRI bet you know aboot this. My uncle sent me the link. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2024/01/01/highest-elevation-winter-race-in-the-us-wyomings-drift-100-a-pain-cave-for-racers/
  16. One of my duties as VP of the club is to look after insurance. It comes to $8.50 per club member and we had 199 members last year. The policy covers some medical bills up to $10K as secondary insurance. It also covers the club from some lawsuits. However I was reading the fine print, and it doesn't cover individual club directors and officers if we are sued. For example, we kick a club member out for some reason, and they sue. Everyone thought that we were covered and a few even have said that they wouldn't had run for office had they known they weren't covered. We are going to contact the insurance agency and find out if my assessment is correct. If I'm right, it costs $600 a year for coverage.
  17. ...this was where I got mine (on-line). I mentioned I had never heard of bikeinn, so it makes sense it isn't a US thing:
