  1. Of course black bikes are faster. Everybody knows that.
  2. A couple good tidbits from the Teejay and the other talking heads. Talking about no shame for Jonas to be losing to Tadej.. ”Plenty of hall of famers lost to Jordan in the finals.” And Steve talking about how Red Bull Boras was discussing intricate details like which side of the road Roglic should be on for faster rolling pavement, while others were crunching numbers about bike and helmet choice and Tadej was just grabbing his road bike and ditching the radio.
  3. Mexico, Belize, Caribbean etc is all hot as fuck in the summer. Winter is the time to head there.
  4. Well, so much for that. Tadej is just incredible to watch.
  5. These short intense attacks where we've seen Tadej shine so far are exactly what he is best at. I feel like Jonas' strength is the long sustained grinds up climbs that take 45 minutes. We haven't seen much on the course yet that really suits Jonas' biggest strengths. Tadej is the clear favorite for good reason but I think it's way too soon to count Jonas out. His best days are ahead. The spectator at the finish getting slammed into the barrier was fun to see!
  6. I bought a criquet polo and wasn't too crazy about it. The material is thinner than I like and it always comes out of the dryer pretty wrinkled when my other shirts don't. It doesn't get much wear because of that. Maybe they have other fabrics and I just picked a crappy one. While I'm on my old man rant... I really want to like Howler Brothers but they make it hard to. I got one of those button up shirts of theirs that says, "I'm not a hipster or a cowboy but I'm some kind of cool in-between middle-aged mash up of the two." and that damn thing fits like a garbage bag. Boxy, square-shaped torso. I've had $19 Old Navy shirts that were cut better. /shaking fist at cloud
  7. Improvise. Adapt. Overcum.
  8. I’ve rented from Enterprise at Oakland a few times and they’ve always warned me not to get gas near the airport. They’ve specifically told me they don’t charge if it’s a little less than full so people don’t feel the need to stop in that area. Glad this worked out ok for you.
  9. This. He’s not even a fan. The people that have looked him up didn’t really find any connection to A&M before he started writing for them. He’s nothing more than the random guy they hired to write the kind of articles they want.
  10. My kid also looked at Fort Lewis. He had an invite to walk onto the cross country team but he went a different direction. I loved it there and tried my best to get him there but he wanted the bigger school/watch your team play on Saturdays experience. Fort Lewis made me want to go Rodney Dangerfield and enroll.
  11. Seeing social media posts related to dead girls in a river that somehow still find a way to end with, "We still know God is good" is a sickening reminder of how demented all this bullshit really is. For most of my life I was in the "I don't believe it but I respect your beliefs" camp. That respect is harder and harder to find these days.
  12. Maybe the numbers really are greater than they historically were but they’ve been finding bodies in Town Lake forever. This didn’t just start in 2022. Runners in the 90s never went to the eastern half of the hike and bike trail because that’s where the bodies always got found. It was common knowledge then, and likely way back before that. And like that article posted above, I tend to think that every city on a river thinks they have a problem with dead bodies in the water.
  13. She must have been part of the Mueller well-regulated militia.
  14. I thought of you the other day. I was at Burney Falls State Park in Northern California. We did a short hike at the park to see the falls and ended up on the PCT for a short bit. I hadn't even realized the park was on the PCT. It would be a cool little spot to stop and cool off if you ever find yourself there. Mt Shasta area.
