    What have you done to your bike today?

    Might be overkill, but I'm considering one of these: Especially for when I go to bike parks where time faffing around with the bike is lift $$$ down the drain. And I've never seen a tool I don't want... :p

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    FedEx? No. UPS? Yes... although it was years ago. From more recent experience, UPS and DHL have shipping set up so you have to pay the fees before they will release the delivery. The added duty fee doesn't surprise me, but it does seem odd FedEx isn't set up that way as well.

    Nice! Now you need gold pedals. ;)

    What beer are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

    Tonight: Nice imperial stout, although I don't notice any of the barrel aging. The 10.6% ABV is well hidden, although it's been on the shelf since 2019. I didn't get a picture, but I was at Broken Goblet Brewing last night to see a friend's band open for Fear. I had a couple of Fritz's...

    Tell me where you rode today...

    What??? Not on the Heckler??? Forgot how much I love this bike. The park was really busy today, but considering how nice it was today, not surprising...

    Things that make you frown :(

    Yeah... the difference between Thursday and Monday is wild...

    What have you done to your bike today?

    I would imagine production versions will have bump-stops or something to prevent the stem or bars from slamming into the frame.

    How I found this one is ironic to me as the person who posted it was a big Trump supporter during his first term...

    OFFICIAL Spring Allergies Thread

    What's interesting to me is it seems like the more time I spend outside, the less my allergies seem to bother me. It seems like I build up a tolerance to the pollen during the early Spring. My allergies were the worst during the time I wasn't riding much and spent too many hours in my ex's...

    Tell me where you rode today...

    I saw Lance made it down - the really tall dude. I know it's been a while since he made it to one. Good on him considering the health issues he's had recently.

    Tell me where you rode today...

    I haven't been to one of those in 20 years... maybe this year.

    Tell me where you rode today...

    (yesterday... doh!) Despite Tom recovering from being sick, we didn't stop much and he still blew my legs off, despite my e-bike help... Van temp sensor said it was 94 degrees F yesterday, although with the fairly low humidity I don't think it felt that hot. Still much sweating...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    Deisel is definitely not cheaper now... If it's over $6/gal here on the East Coast, I can only imagine what CA prices must be... Part of me wishes I still had my 2003 TDI... but part of me is also glad I don't. I do feel extremely fortunate I don't have to fill up any of my vehicles very...

    Yeah... the market seems more whackadoodle than usual right now... not that I'm complaining as it makes my 401k look better... but I agree... this just makes no sense.

    Is strava going from suck to blow?

    I've had that happen. One of the reasons I don't use the app anymore and bought a Wahoo.
