    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    To our credit, we do try to learn to decipher UK accents. Watch at least one UK murder mystery a night. To be honest, the Scots aren't the only ones we need subtitles for. Of course, if all Scots talked like Craig Furgeson, there'd be no problem. Miss that guy. I watch all this UK mayhem...

    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    Many have been saying lately that Pogi's taking the excitement out of pro racing. I think he just laid that to rest. And Pidcock! Can't wait to see how this season unfolds.

    You guys have been following pro racing a longer than I have. Does it get any better than this?

    The holy trinity's doing 41 km/h up the start of the Poggio at 8%!

    I know male peacocks have to put up with them to get the girls during mating season, but those huge tails must be a real drag the rest of the year. ;^} Gauntlet thrown, @DaveMatthews .

    Well, how you found time for 200 photos on a 1-day ride of 124 mi is beyond me! But glad you did. Enjoying the Scottish place names on your map. First thought when I spotted Earl's Seat was Sheldon's spot on the couch in Big Bang Theory. No one else dared sit there. And unlike the Earl, Sheldon...

    You have no idea what Americans in general think. That's my point. Why do you insist on making these silly generalizations about Americans? It's bizarre.

    Then how come every time a Scot pops up in a British murder mystery, my wife and I have to back up and turn on the English subtitles to figure out what the heck he's saying? ;^}

    Drum roll, please.... And now ladies and gentlemen, the #1 reason that every American knows "sea"... Closely followed, of course by...

    There you go making stuff up to suit your agenda again. Never said or even implied any such thing, and I certainly don't believe it. But you know as well as I do that you don't have to be anything close to a genius to know a word as common as "sea". Done wasting time.on this subject.

    Signs of Spring

    Well, made it back from the group ride alive. Average age was probably pushing 70. No one had a heat stroke. The ride was officially 24 mi with 52 ft/mi of climbing. Getting to the ride and back home brought it to 37 mi. Proud that I kept up in OFF most of the time but had to resort to ECO and...

    Absolutely not. Just think it's not as bad across the board as you apparently do. And time and time again on so little credible evidence. You were expressing a piece of utter nonsense as a "fun fact" — your words. You're not entitled to your own facts. YT is not an authoritative source on how...

    Just for fun...

    You bet it's me! After I got back from today's road ride, I jumped my house.

    Signs of Spring

    Today's predicted high at the coast is 79°F. And they're predicting 80 and 81 for the next 2 days, at the peak of our local heat wave. Honestly, doubt we'll get past 75 near the water. Of course, the mountains and deserts to the east will be a very different story. Last night, however, the...

    Fact, eh? That's a lot of Americans. What percentage have you quizzed on the word "sea"?. I'd be surprised to find a single American who doesn't know it. But maybe a lot of them temporarily forget it on the way over.
