Gray

...or grey, depending on how you spell things.
It's Monday. It's not warm outside. The sky is colorless. Oh joy...

Someone asked me if I'd help them sell one of these monstrosities. I said no. I want NO part of it. They were a bad idea, and broke, when new. Used, it's litigation waiting to happen...

As we've established, I'm no fan of disc brake road bikes. It's just not needed, and will only lead to grief for a lot of people who buy them.
This DeRosa however, is beautiful. Gotta say...I'd rock it...

Another proper townie/urban assault bike. Rigid. Discs. Internal hub. All one needs...

Oh, do STFU about base miles, especially if you have NO idea what it means, nor how to go about it. Honestly, if one rides all year, and puts in any sort of actual miles, there's no need to even use the term anymore.

Four wheels good...

Giant, glowing, single turbo. No lag there...at all...
Better have that thing pointed in the desired direction when the boost comes on!

Euro CX from Saturday @ Middelkerke

As for yours truly, we rode Saturday morning. It was pleasant. Headwind out, and a ripping tailwind home. It's nice when you fall into that pocket where effort, speed, and wind all intersect, and one certain speed is correct.
Saturday, it was somewhere between 40-50kph. Twas nice. 2.5 hours, and I was back at Service Course.

Junior Management was at the LexCo office, so The Boss and I loaded up and went to Ikea.
We picked up a few things, and came to the realization that we couldn't live in Charlotte. Urban sprawl run amok.
Nice place to visit. Wouldn't want to live there.
And I took the idiot weatherpeople at their word, and decided to sleep in on Sunday morning. They said it was going to be 20 degrees. It wasn't. They said the wind was supposed to howl. It didn't.
Sunday was actually quite a nice day. I missed the opportunity to get out on the bike. Stupid...

No ridey today, as JM is home from school today. I WILL get out tomorrow night, even if it's solo...

I guess I should get the day started...at 10:45am...
