Were there any cyclocross bikes at Sea Otter? Someone tell me about the cyclocross bikes.

There are few things in modern cycling more unsightly than someone sprinting on the hoods with bars narrower than their shoulders on mountain bike tires.

My kid has an Apple Watch and a phone number but no phone. It’s perfect.

I’ve been on the 48/35 on the road bike since I went to 12-speed. And 46/33 on CX and gravel bikes.

In case you missed my old "local real estate of the day" posts from Twitter, this one inspired me:

Huh?

I had really good experiences with both my knee (post-ACL repair) and shoulder rehab at BU:

CLASSIC Shimano DURA-ACE PD-7410 Clipless SPD-R Road Pedals VERY GOOD USED | eBay Compatible with Shimano's SPD-R cleat format. These pedals show typical signs of light to moderate use with silky smooth bearings free of play.

Hey gravel bros, I found some pedals for you from 1994:

Also, I replace my chain regularly. It’s an affordable luxury.

I’m using Silca drip wax only now. Seems fine. I don’t have time or energy to boil chains.

Ha, I noticed that, too. Someone should fix it!

Right. We had metal detectors and a police station in the school, in the 80s.

#1 D1 football team in the country one year while I was there, which didn’t make my life better, lol. But we ran track in Marciano Stadium, classmates were Rocky royalty.

Exactly the same in Brockton. Population of 100K with one high school built in 1970. Honestly it was great, like a small college campus with a lot of resources at the time. Gyms, pool, fine arts building, etc.

Holy shit. It’s like they forget there are cameras everywhere.

Brockton High typically had 5000 students when I was there in the 80s. Graduating classes over 1000. They’re hurting these days but still over 3000. Was allegedly the largest HS east of the Mississippi at one point.

Today's Hell World has me thinking about Douglas Hofstadter's "I Am A Strange Loop." If my soul consists of my interactions, has AI already, without me knowing, ruined my soul?

I predict we’ll be using space savers in Boston right up until the week street sweeping starts.

I have Cycliq cameras front and rear now, so both.

The race loop is exactly my training loop. Some days I go up the access road. But since Flynn was born, I rarely go anywhere. Just laps on the hamster wheel.

Boston Ski Hill Is The Snowiest Ski Area Nationwide After Blizzard Blue Hills is swimming in powder after a blizzard slammed the East Coast.

If you follow my Strava, you know it’s boring as fuck and I just do laps around Blue Hills every day.

Meanwhile, Blue Hills today:

But did any of them go down the Cop Slide?

12K for me, and a major source of organic marketing for my business. I could be myself there and talk to friends and it would turn into work. I kept my account to protect my name there, but unfollowed everyone and stopped using it. Haven’t recreated that here.

Had to go to the bad place for an update.

The crash in the Classic Var today was sickening and it feels like the commentators missed it. The TE rider hits his head on the leading piece of fence as he crashes. Can’t find any news about it yet.
