Blood on the Kings

Big Star in the Hipster Dufus District.

Yes. The 110 also gets you the meals etc. during the weekend.

Thanks. Chicago has been awesome this week. One of my favorite cities.

Got bored last night wandering around Chicago so I decided to pick up a point and shoot and do some photography. So many great things to shoot in Chicago.

I have two washers on mine. The reason the first pod broke was because it did not clear the arm so tightening it snapped it. I assume you would have plenty of clearance. We also set torque on the low end of the Nm scale they give. Will your shop take a pod from a spare kit for you? That is how I got mine so fast. Evidently 2 weeks for a pod from Garmin.

Have a great one Jim.

Yeah I can tell the pedals are right because of those dots where I was 100% on the right foot. I start off from a stop mashing with the right while I fight to clip in. I am right handed, left eye dominant and left leg evidently. I know back in the day when I skateboarded I always pushed with the left foot as well.

Probably only interesting to Chris, but this is what I get on Garmin Connect. It shows my balance is a bit off to the left. I guess I need to try to pay attention to that as I assumed it would be the opposite.

Hopefully Justin will have our HC Jersey kits together by then.

Looks like registration is up on that website.

Maybe you can ride with Justin and I when the rest tear out at 25MPH for their centuries Mike. Is this Sebring thing official, e.g. sign up, etc. active?

Great work Dan. I guess you never found a way to get Suunto stuff on Strava?

Sounds like fun riding at speed for all those miles, I just wish I was up to something like that. Nice of Strava to update their interface to show more Power Meter data. Just a short ride as it was pretty windy and the trail was packed with old people that demanded to start from every stop at a full wobble and ride head on to oncoming cyclists. It was good to see someone went through and wiped out all the Strava Hazardous flags some asshole had done on my local trail keeping me from keeping track of my times.

I will probably go out for a short test. Riding by myself is too boring. We did discuss a HC meet at the NAHBBS next year in Charlotte. I intend to try to make it and Justin thinks he can get down there for the event. Seems like a decent place to meet for some riding and ogling bikes. Anyone else interested?

I have changed a lot since my fitting as well. Maybe it is all just a scam?

Any chance the seat height had slipped gradually over time?

Some finished shots of the Garmin install. Added almost 200 grams of weight over the carbon Looks.

I ended up going back to the shop and having the Vectors installed on the Calfee. I figure I can use it there while I await the revised pods for the Cervelo. The 800 is already making calibration a bit more difficult as the instructions only speak to 810 and I do not have some of the menu items they are listing. Chris, done calibrating and everything works as expected, including balance percentages.

Justin is getting Mad Fibers. Great ride, though I was in poor form. I did manage to beat John Fox on the climb so I feel like a superstar even if he was not aware when he did the climb that he would eventually be racing me. Justin killed it on the new bike and blew me away on the first big climb that kicked my ass. I had nothing. My legs felt like rocks for most of the first half of the ride.

The Caad10 crew is here. Time to roll.

Yeah it looks like plenty of clearance on those. The DA are well over the 38 max that Garmin supports but it is definitely narrower than the FSA so it probably has room for the cord to plug all the way in. On mine the pod was not touching the crank arm with three washers. But with the three washers the little connector cord would not reach to engage the plug.

It works for Red, not Dura Ace. Red is a much thinner Crank Arm.
