today was quite the ride. 5 miles in my left crank arm came off. so i took 2 minutes and put it back on, and made a note to get a torque wrench. i then went 3 more miles til it started pouring. Got within a mile of home, hit a pothole, and got a flat. but still got PRs on every segment except the one where the arm fell off, and am 11 seconds from KOM on one segment now.

yes 11 speed

I just know I can't get it tight enough to not have just enough play to make shifting less precise.

it rained, and the rest of my parts arrived, so I rebuilt my bike. Ultegra R8000 full group, 52/36 crank, 11/30 cassette, fulcrum 6 wheels (apparently I need a spacer, so my "magical r8000 shifting" isn't quite magical yet), ec70 stem and bars

120/-5 is pretty good so far.

I'm hoping 120 is good, but I'll let you know

I just went to a 120/6 stem. Got me a little more reach, and a little lower. My Ultegra group is working it's way through the covid affected international air shipping. Did 25 miles/1000 Ft of climbing today. Averaged 14.9mph. Still avoiding the small ring.

Riding without using the small ring, so I'll be ready when the mid-compact gets here.

Today's ride on the new to me Lemond: 17.3 miles, 13.6 mph, 798 calories, 589ft elevation gain

I miss pastrami, I can't find it in TN.

Incremental gains. 69% humidity doesn't seem like a lot, but ugh.

oh I know Your worst ride are my end game goals...

And I feel like 14 miles at 11 mph is an accomplishment Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

yesterday:

oh for sure, those early 90s mountain bikes were basically 26" road bikes with knobby tires. I threw a goofy touring handlebar setup, because the frame is way too big for me to use with drop bars, and I wanted to ride it longer distances and be able to change up hand positions.

I hurt my foot running and didn’t want to lose the gains i’ve made so I went out on the bike today. i rode my old mountain bike because I figured the extra weight would help.

I mean, it'll be at least 2 more generations of hardware on intel, so the hackintosh isn't dead yet...*typed on my hackintosh*

I was pretty happy with stock pads, and a blue Hawaii with my esp950s

we actually got a longer run than most. It was pretty cool. And I really dig the ARM system. They're doing cool shit.

That ARM system is a beast, and it’s good someone other than Cray or IBM is at the top, honestly. Keeps them on their toes. I’m hopeful that I can continue to be employed working on summit for a few more years at least, and maybe stick around long enough for whatever the next wave of HPC will be.
