The friendly folks at Alamo Trek got the brakes on Roxanne fixed up perfectly (still waiting on my road wheels though), so I rode the new bike with the stock gravel wheels to the Junction for the first time this morning. On the way down I somehow buggered up the derailleur adjustment and I kind of limped back home after failing to figure out how to un-bugger the thing... there's no knurled knob to tighten up the cable or anything on an electronic derailleur - there's a couple buttons you have to push at the same time while doing something else and I'm going to figure it out as soon as this posts.
The weather is getting really nice and lots of riders were out on the roads and on The Mountain.

| The USA National Women's Team was out training and I decided to allow them to pass. |
OK, these next three photos show an interesting stupid move.
 |
| This guy passed me at Bridal Nook - no big deal. |
 |
| Then he took the inside line around the hairpin - DUMB |
 |
| And another guy coming down had to do an emergency move to avoid him. We had a mutual head-shaking moment. |

| Roxanne's publicity shot. I'll make a product review post one of these days. |
