Thanks for the feedback, Chris, I'll do just that.

SLR02 in the house! Switched out bars and cranks to my preferred ones.

Holy cow, that's small!

Looks nice Marshall! Good ride?

^^ This.  I'm dying to get out on the MTB but weekends keep getting packed full of other things.  I think Monday's holiday might finally provide opportunity.

Looks nice Marshall! Good ride?

Mid 70s, breezy and mostly sunny made for a very nice ride.

Thoughts?

Why did it make me think of Brent?

 

 

1) I hate you

2) Sounds good re: fraud. How did he have a support vehicle?

3) This is America, Gram. Fat people > vets. You should know this by now.

If someone is interested in a trainer for the winter: There is a guy getting rid of Tacx Bushido and Vortex smart trainers for a really good price. I am waiting on one and I have seen people posting about already receiving their units, so it seems legit, but I haven't received my unit (it shipped, should be here this week). I think he still has some of both models. This is the smart version of the trainer that will allow Trainer Road, Zwift, etc to regulate the resistance according to the course/training set.

Not sure about the green but....

 

 

 

My new bike saved me from several hospital trips this year so it's definitely a success.  Smashes out downhill runs better than anything short of a dedicated downhill bike, and it's still light enough that goofing around on my local trails is still fun.

It was unseasonably warm today so I took REI's approach to Black Friday.

Hi guys:

My rise to Pico de las Nieves, the hardest mountain pass in Europe.  Puerto. I'm very pleased with myself.

2h15" total time. Kms 5 to 7 is the most hard, very, very hard, a slope of 19% without any pause . I've never climbed anything so hard. It´s awful.

 

Edit: I used a 12/30 ultegra and a 34/50 compat.

Good God, that looks ridiculous. I think this may be even harder than the feared Angrilu.

You can do this riding backwards.

I don't disagree with that statement.  Once my shoulder is better.
