I got Roxanne's road wheelset installed on Thursday, took her for a cruise on Friday, and up Diablo on Saturday. With the light wheels she handles pretty much like a relaxed road bike. While I miss the aggressive handling and uncomfortable efficiency of a racing bike - I'm accepting that comfort is more important to my aging corpus. I was a little surprised though that my Junction time was about the same as any hard effort - hardly any weight penalty and lower gears help with the steep bits.

Wildlife Encounter: a turkey looked like it was in a cage near Buckeye Group Camp - I stopped on the way back down for a photo and the cage was empty - maybe he was behind the cage and I was mistaken.

| I look so modern with a bike from this century. |

| Oh yeah, Tesla terrorist got a good yelling at. |

| These things are so beautiful when they're racing - this was sad. |
Check out all this cool data on my new Garmin 1050: I especially like the gear indicator, even though it doesn't say what your cogs are, you know if you have any left. Posed in highest gear because that's how I roll... downhill.
Also, the app keeps track of how much time you spent in each gear - how did I ever ride without this info?
