5 to go...no more free laps

4 if I don't count today...but today ain't over yet...

How do you want your bike porn?
Loud and bright...

 ...or muted, and (sort) of understated?

Can we choose both?

 I hate it when they know exactly why you're drifting to the back...

If you watched the Giro yesterday, you know that it got pretty Alpine at the top of the Galibier.

Here's the video of the last 7.5km directly from RAI TV.  GALIBIER....

Couldn't figure out the embed code.  Click the link...thank me later...

Wonder how much Cav hung onto the car yesterday? 

Nice rides this weekend...
Saturday was the first truly warm and muggy day we've ridden in thus far.  I gotta say, I'm just not acclimated to it yet.  Rode okay, but felt meh.  We did have a nice little group though.  Should have been bigger, but...well...I'll leave it at that...
3 hours and 85km fell under wheels in a tick less than 3 hours, and no efforts were made...sort of what a Saturday ride should be.  Long and steady.

Upon return to Service Course, work on the HMS Back-yaarrrggghhh-d continued...for then next four hours.  It's starting to look like something...pics will follow upon completion...

As is expected of a 43 year old, I woke up Sunday, and my entire body was stiff and sore.  It had just stopped raining.  It was wet.  More rain was expected.  I had to ride to get the parts working again.  CX bike...road wheels...and GO!
Nice 2 hours out thru LexCO and back.  It did look threatening a few times...


And the first 40 minutes felt like being beaten about the hips and legs, but once I turned onto 321, everything was good.  Tailwind all the way home.  I sort of got into a 20mph light tempo groove, and just rode.  2 hours and 60km later...
I did NOT do any construction work on Sunday...

The Ridley is ready for Mancation, and the Salsa will be tonight, as long as Brown Santa hits the door with my new Clement LAS tires.

Hope everyone had a productive weekend.  Mt. Mitchell is today too.  Rubber side down folks...
