I'm not sure Sen. John Kennedy has seen it either.

Silksong crashes Steam, Nintendo eShop on release day — highly anticipated indie video game took six years to arrive and is already one of the most played games ever on Steam. My (sainted, octogenarian) mother asked me about Silksong today. Its launch was so big that the type of news she listens to covered it.

My nickel - gravel gearing is fine. My Cervelo has a 40T front and 10/44 at the back. It's fine for 95% of everything and only leaves me slightly wanting plowing downhill (you run out of gear). Otherwise I don't sweat the fact that I probably ride it like a 6 speed instead of 12 speed. RE: E-assist, I'm biased. If you think it'll help you get out more, go for it, if you think you'll use it as a crutch and lean on it too much and not get the exercise benefit I think you're after than avoid the temptation.

That's better...

The gear sets on gravel bikes tend to be a bit shorter than on road bikes - you can upgrade them if you are making the bike do dual duty (and swap the mud tires for road tires).

That's the one I was assuming you would look at. Too much money but the S-Works Creo 2 looks sick.

This Alien show rocks. Show of the year for me so far. Easily.

One of the greatest clothing designers ever, Giorgio Armani, has died at the age of 91: I am sure he came into my orbit in 1980 as the person who created Richard Gere's iconic looks in the movie "American Gigolo": RIP to a legend in the industry.
