Dis the same 26 miles lumpy loop I did yesterday today. Got windfucked both days but overall, a great week of cycling. I think I'm at 90 miles this week.
I'm probably gonna get lectured about this but I ran my stem with no headset cover for the past 2 days but with a shim so as not to contact the top bearing directly. This gives me almost .5 more inches of drop for a whopping 1.25 inches total. The extra half inch may not sound like much but I like it better this way. Probably not gonna run it this way for a long time though.
EDIT: Also picked up a pair of White SIDI Genius 5 shoes at competititivecylist for $120. Sizes are limited but I think it's a great deal for someone in the market for new shoes.

I know, I just like to rag on the old hotel
Rode 26 miles today, half in the pouring rain. Gave my bike a long overdue cleaning. Cleaned and lubed my chain using Rock and Roll Gold which worked very well. This is cleanest I've ever got my chain on my own.
Good, the event hotel blows chunks. Not sure how far the Residence Inn is from the event start but the La Quinta is about 4 miles away. It's actually a newer, nicer La Quinta, not one of those shithole ones.
EDIT: The Residence Inn is 2 miles away.
Picked up Assos UNO bibs and 2 pairs of Assos socks for $163 shipped from Ribble.
That's about $50 less than what I would have paid at the LBS just for the bibs. And the LBS's wonder why a lot us go online to but stuff? No shit Sherlock!
