It's a bit breezy...


The wind started Sunday...and hasn't abated...
Even in the woods on Wednesday, the wind was HOWLING. Headwind out? Sure. Tailwind home? Nope.
Same thing this morning. Crosswind. Headwind. Crosswind.
At NO point on the ride was the wind at my back.
Positive note? I think I'm pretty close to having the cleat position on my right shoe correct. Felt better today than it has since I got back on the road bike.
Anywho, two good rides this week. Being outside in the mornings is pretty nice...

 So yeah...as it always happens, companies are creating things that just aren't needed. A leafspring fork, on a CX/gravel bike?
Yeah, because when you're racing, or riding a dirt road out in the middle of BFE, you want something that's MORE complicated.
Stupids...
Sagan's bike for Roubaix.
"Yes, I'll take 'Slammed 150mm Stems' for $1000 please Alex..."
NBCSN will be showing the entire race LIVE on their web app. It's called "Extra Time", and works very well.
If you don't want to listen to Phil/Paul/Bobke, I'm sure people will be streaming it live. Check YouTube first. Search for "Paris Roubaix 2016. It'll be on there...likely in HD, so you can stream it on your TV...if you know how to do such things.

Scheldeprijs was mid-week...
Seems a blind squirrel CAN find a nut. EQS got their leadout right for Kittel...


Then again, he HAS won the the race 4 freaking times. He knows how to get to the line...

No ridey tomorrow...AFAIK...
We have futbol @ noon. Maybe I'll try to sneak out @ 9 for 90 minutes or so. Sleeping in around here in a fool's errand. Might as well get up and ride...

Enjoy your weekend...
