Squirrels are kinda smart about going back. Though I had one that ran across the road, then decided to go back then when I was close, went back the way he was going, chattering at me. Had one jump out of a tree this morning right in front of me.
 
Inspired by recent EBR discussions of lightweight, low-power e-road bikes and the recent La Vuelta a Espana road race, went into the Trek shop in Encinitas yesterday to ogle (1) their Domane+ e-road bike, and (2) the regular road bike closest to the ones I just saw raced in the Vuelta.

In the 2nd category, I found this baby — a carbon-everything Project One Madone SLR 9 AXS Gen 8 gussied up chrome paint. Yes, paint.

Mads Pedersen and his Lidl-Trek squad rode Madones in the Vuelta. This Madone, Trek's top-of-the-line road racing bike, is touted to be their best-ever trade-off between light weight and aero design in their best-ever carbon fiber.

SRAM Red groupset. The Project One designation means this one got its custom chrome paint and groupset at the factory.
