RIP

Same advice here, Jacob. I know it's difficult right now but hang in there and continue to support Emily. And also remember that doctors work for you, if you're not satisfied with their care you can fire them and look for a better one.

This. They screwed up your order and you shouldn't have to settle for a BB386 crank and adapters.

Watching the Mayweather vs Guererro fight. I hope Mayweather gets his ass beat, he's truly an A-grade scum of the hood cuntbag.

Sorry about the Garmin, Vicki. Great job being a road warrior though. No shame riding alone, that's how I prefer to roll. I don't have to worry about anyone's pace (or lack thereof) but my own

Had a Toupe for a few months since it came stock with my Roubaix. It never really bothered me but I found myself riding the nose all the time as the flat part was too wide and I felt like it was trying to spread my legs a little too wide. Hence the move to an Arione. Personally, I like me some firm padding. I feel like the softer it is, the more likely for spots to rub my man bits on.

What new seat Jeff? I thought you're running Romins on all your road bikes?

Holy shit, I thought the Giro starts tomorrow but it started today! Anyway, I'm happy Cav won the stage and is in Pink (but not for long).

Thanks for the reminder, Jeff. I found out about the Giro airing on BEin Sports earlier this week but just called today to add it. Dropped Showtime too so I'm actually saving some money.

x2, Thanks Ben!

Sorry about your loss, Steve. My condolences.

Yes, my name has a link embedded on it that takes me to an eBay page with something about "Raffy learns to read". I know I'm a retard but illiterate? (I had to google that spelling )

It looks to be available in the link you embedded.

Thanks Nate! Sorry, forgot to reply to this. I'm taking Amoxicillin 875mg twice a day for 10 days.

Sounds good Dusty, congrat!

Thanks guys. I feel loads better today but still not 100%. Unfortunately I have zero appetite for beer right now, Al. Dusty, does this mean you're not getting laid off?

Nice work Brent! Keep it up, you gotta start somewhere, right? I know what you mean. I find myself more flexible as the miles accumulate so while my current fit with the new deeper drop bars are just right, I wouldn't be surprised if I find myself wanting more by next year or even the end of this year's riding season (if Florida even has such a thing). My next frame will definitely have to be more aggressive. The Roubaix's headtube for my 49 is 125mm and I'm aiming for something in the 100-110 range with less BB drop to give me a higher riding position relative to the front end. There's a lot of frames that can suit these requirements.....Tarmac, Venge, Orbea Orca, Dogma, etc.

Yep, my fitter said the exact same thing, "you should have gotten a Tarmac". It's a Deda -20 degree stem I have with a 8-10mm (I don't know exactly) FSA spacer. I only have like 2.5 cm of drop but being short that is to be expected.

Went to the doctor and got diagnosed with Strep throat. I feel like I was in a bar fight last night and someone shoved a porcupine down my throat. Taking a sick day off work

I'd be up for a pound or two of each too if you wanna share.

Funny enough, they didn't complain the day I brought it in. Perhaps because stripping and cleaning the drivetrain was part of the $105 they charged for the labor package. The next day, I brought it in to have one of the brake cables shortened as it was rubbing my Garmin mount and they lightly gave me shit about the EFS residue that I dripped on the FD and bottom bracket.

One more glamour shot. New red cables, drivetrain was ultrasonically cleaned (it was filthy when I brought it in) and new-to-me Deda Campione bars and my favorite tape: Zipp Service Course CX. Tires were both changed recently too.

Between Friday and today, the wind broke my balls again but I got in 70 miles on the nose. I think I am serious when I say I'd rather ride in 95 degree wind free weather than fight 15 mph winds. Of course, my people are people of the sun

Belated Happy Birthday Ryan! Hope you had a good one!

Happy Birthday Kevin!
