Road cyclists all all metric despite where they are from

If you are trying to say @RabH Isn't a road cyclist, you will fail. At least among this group, he's the roadie.

Not a kosher one Even American roadies think km and kph (km/h in Europe). (I'd say @mschwett is the genuine roadie among this group).

From today's fast and picturesque gravel group ride by name Korboloza Vilgoza I organised More: later!

28 miles, 1:40. Assist levels 0,1, 2. Today I was short on both time and daylight, so I did a fast ride out to Harding's Beach in Chatham. Before the ride, I switched out my ISM saddle for the stock Most saddle just to see if I liked it. I didn't. It's OK, not great. Anyway, it was between 55 and 60 degrees F, with a light wind from the west. We had rain for the last `12 hours, so the bike and I got wet. That's what fenders are for. My feet got cold on the way back because they were wet. Nothing a shower couldn't cure. The bike rode well, although I need to drop some pressure in the tires. The frost heaves are jarring, and they shouldn't be. I got back right after sunset.

@harryS I’m guessing you must live not to far from where I grew up, St. Charles.

Beautiful scene! That's one very sharp bike.

Lots of fine fall beach days here lately, too, but SoCal winter put a warning shot across my bow this morning with a gray day in the low 60s. Somehow we'll soldier through.
