So our May ride got rained out (the family friendly ride). Today, however, was our makeup ride and wrap-up party. About 15-20 of us made it out to do a ten mile ride at the riverpark, along the TN River. Xavier and I rode, and he was the youngest participant by at least 6 years. We wound up being swept and came in right as they were serving burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches. We ate lunch, had the award ceremony (where our team won largest team), and then we said goodbye for a few more months to some Diabetes association friends and we signed up to do the 25 mile ride together next year. After everyone packed up, Xavier wanted to ride some more, so we did enough to make him realize he needed some bike shorts, so we called it a night and headed home. Thanks to everyone who supported us and the cause to help Diabetes awareness and research, it's really appreciated! All in all, we raised 123,000$ in the Chattanooga Tour de Cure! A little short of our goal, but still a pretty solid showing. <3 Brent

You're a horrible person. **BRENT**

Not bad for LTE While doing 70mph in between EDGE spots In rural TN. **BRENT**

I say go bike shopping for new carbon, and find a better lbs to fix the C'dale. One bike just isn't enough. Also, get a vintage steel Colnago. And a Ti Serotta. That's a good start. **BRENT**

My condolences to you and your mom, Larry. I know how that is, and it's tough. **BRENT**

Feliz navidad, todd! **BRENT**

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz2rAgXjkCA I just want to do this all day. **BRENT**

So, have I missed the U Turn impressions somewhere? I'm curious. Still wanting a Pro-ject Debut Carbon, but curious. **BRENT**

A buddy has the 35 and 50 Art for his 5D3. I could see if I could post some of his stuff. **BRENT**

We are not amused. **BRENT**

I want to shame deepak. Someone get deepak to play. I'm in for two leagues. **BRENT**

Going to post the other 6? **BRENT**

That's my Suunto Vector. The dial is 45.6mm, housing width is 51.4mm. I know it's a different style of watch but the size feels about right for me... Upper end of "medium sized." 40mm is definitely more of a "ladies watch" look for me. 42-44 would be the smallest I would want to look at for me personally. Lots of watches I like that just wouldn't look right at all. **BRENT**

http://turntablelab.com/products/pro-ject-dinosaur-jr-custom-debut-carbon-turntable-purple It says it should be shipping late June/Early July... May want to contact them about it. The Debut Carbon gets a lot of praise for the segment. I'll be getting a black one when I can. **BRENT**

Oh. 42mm would be too small. I thought that was mid/upper 40s. Thanks. **BRENT**

Nice, PJ! What size is that? Looks like something that would look normal on me. **BRENT**

Some photos of random people (and possibly not-so-random-people) at the 2014 Zoe's Rainbow Dash, a charity fun run put together by the parent's of a friend of my daughter's who we tragically lost in a boating accident a couple of years ago. It's been a nice event the past couple of years, and they're doing at least one more.

LR5 is pretty easy to do basic things... IMO. I really need to start using Photoshop (I signed up for the 10$ subscription and didn't cancel.) It will do a lot more than what I use, but you can find cheapish copies online and you're set. **BRENT**

Watching the GCN video, the guy was saying the Madone was their aero road offering, and this is more the "strong + light" one. I dig your Classics edition Domane, though. I figure the H1 fit is similar to yours, no? **BRENT**

Glad I could be of service. **BRENT**

Watch out, the SL models are all H2 fit, you have to drop bank to get an SLR with an H1 fit. The SLR 6 through SLR 9 have H1 or H2 fit options (as does the standalone SLR frame at 690gr and 4200$), but the SLR 10 (that we all know and love) is H1 only. I'd love to try an H1 Domane, but not sure about this. Does anyone know if this will be taking over the Madone line? **BRENT**

Specialized came out with a 20k one with McLaren a day or two ago. Also, the new line from Trek goes all they way down to a sub-2k Tiagra equipped version that's over 19 pounds, but I think it's still carbon. The Tune wheels are sick, though. **BRENT**

Cool, Nate. The place is about a mile or so from my house. I don't get to go there often enough, and it'll be the first time for the kids. I think Rachel Ray came here for her "$40 a Day" TV show. Had a bit of food and left a dollar or so for tip. I know she was on a budget, and that got them some press, but I REALLY hope someone dropped a 5 dollar bill on the table or something. That's Mr. Pink numbers... **BRENT**

I was woken up early by a call from work saying our systems were still down and to not report until noon. Yay! Extra sleep! Now, I'm wide awake, too excited to go to sleep, and I have plans for breakfast with kids, roomie, and a good friend from work at a place called "Aretha Frankenstein's." Awesome pancakes, huge biscuits (which I hear they will be out of if Jeff, Al, or Colin read this post before then), and also a variety of adult beverage for sale with breakfast. I figure we're going to get paid for four hours of work, so I should either have a really short day, or should be able to get some extra time in today and leave early on the 3rd. Good times! **BRENT**

Just do RX-100 III
