    Seixas now has 2:05 on GC 2nd Roglic. Tomorrow's Stage 5 said to be the hardest of the 6. Should be interesting.

    Horn, Bell or Voice, how to warn others of your presence and intentions

    Guess that's the kind of partner you want on a tandem — ready to help out any way she can. ;^}

    Quite a Stage 4 finish! Watch it if you can.

    New 1500W Avinox Amflows

    The issue I foresee — certainly in California and probably in some other states as well — is that 1500W power boost. In California, no legal ebike can have more than 750W of motor power as of the first of this year. The new language says nothing about what kind of power that is. I lay blame for...

    New 1500W Avinox Amflows

    Q1. Will these Amflows be legal ebikes operable on public roads and bikeways in Massachusetts without license, registration, and insurance? Q2. If not, how will your shop handle that?

    Seixas laid low in Stage 3 with a little more than a minute on GC 2nd place Roglic. Easy to understand why he'd take the day to recover after his phenomenal output in Stage 2. But guessing he won't do that again in Stage 4.

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

    Just a thank-you to everyone who helped me with my planned SL 1 brake upgrade. Going with Shimano GRX RX820 gravel calipers and 1-finger levers. Will probably have all necessary parts by the end of the month.

    Yeah, he was literally putting everything "on the line" in some of those curves — including the one with the ragged rock wall waiting on the other side. Made the caller very nervous. Me, too. That outweighs his lack of Grand Tour experience? His radio would probably compensate to some extent...

    Not sure I've ever heard a name for them before now, but that one's as good as any. These lines don't seem to come up much in conversation in coastal CA and Colorado.

    Good way to put it. Quite an exciting final descent by Seixas — nail-biting at times. Never heard those road edge lines called "fog lines". Presumably as in, so you can see the edges of the road in fog? Maybe a New England thing? We're no strangers to fog here in coastal CA, where I've totaled...

    Luckily for us, the murder mystery genre seems to attract better acting.

    Carrying photography gear on a ride

    Based on the British TV we watch, they certainly have the formula: First astronaut emerges from the capsule only to find a beautiful young woman dead in the lunar dust at the bottom of the stairs. Then out comes the world-weary DCI...

    Hard to say, but I imagine it's a bit like medical scheduling — something I'm painfully familiar with from both the provider and patient side. We always had to allow for emergency add-ons and patients who ended up taking way longer than anyone expected. Of course, you can't treat people like...

    Quite a performance by Seixas! Lucky us, with 5 more days of GC-biased racing to see how this all plays out. I like that commentator in your clip— a very unique style. Know his name?

    Interesting preview of the 6-day Itzulia Basque Country, which starts today with a brutal ITT around Bilbao. Pog and Jonas won't be there, but many other heavy hitters on the roster — many with important histories with this race...

    Sorry about your rear wheel. I think you should go straight to the ENVE 45 mm deep-section carbon wheels I just saw at my LBS. Only $2,050 each! ;^}
