Boulder Rez

We’re joining the No Kings protest today—not because we’re America-haters, Marxists, terrorists, or paid agitators, as some might claim—but because we are informed, concerned citizens, appalled by the erosion of constitutional order and rule of law. Civil liberties must be preserved for everyone.

Tough beans!

My mistake, what was the reason for posting that then?

Are you worried about the glue setting in time? Use 3M Fast Tack Trim Adhesive. Fun fact, USCF used to mandate bike inspections before races, including glue jobs. They'd try to roll your tire off the rim by hand. In mid 80's they realized there was liability issue declaring bikes safe, and stopped.

Yes, I use just enough boost to simulate what used to be a moderate ride. I've had some success with drug therapy to where I can ride a standard bike again, but the e-bike is still there for challenging terrain.

You have it backwards,IMO. I ride a Specialized Creo I use for trail rides. I ride with low assist on flats, but increase assist for climbs. I have heart disease that presents as angina when I ride above a certain threshold, so it's all about keeping my power output moderate at about 100 watts.

The fella's name is Hatherly. He's won some recent mtb races.

PCS and Wikipedia say Boulder, but he says Guatemala City in this brief bio. antonvillatoro.com/story/

Villatoro was born in Boulder, CO and came up through the cycling ranks here. I remember racing with him in the late 80's before his Postal days.

Florida man said what?

The Adequate Thunderbirds

Slightly diminish a band: The Mildly Appreciative Dying

Plus the Tour Alsace. That Beloki kid is having a bit of a breakout race.

Not just that, he's a thoroughly likable guy.

Tyler Hamilton on the Peak to Peak Highway above Boulder. He asked me about my own racing, seemed interested and even knew some of the people I raced with. He offered to tow (his word) me to my turnoff, and he did. I was doing a monster mountain day by my standards and he was doing twice that.

They also don't realize that the vast majority of racing cyclists have no say in how their kit looks, but are obligated to wear it on every ride, even the low level amateurs.

Absolute perfection

There’s something Phishy about the music I’m hearing through my window tonight.

Raining in Boulder as I was riding in from the North by Boulder Rez. It had all dispersed by the time I got home but there were a few puddles.

I (70 yo white male with a white beard) got carded today in Whole Foods while buying non-alcoholic beer. I told the kid it’s NA and I pointed to the place on the carton where it says “non-alcoholic”. He pointed to the place where it said “less than .5% ABV”. Checkmate. Not everything goes our way.

I love root beer and ice cream but hate root beer floats. As you said, two things that do not belong together.

I've got proof that I've been there. www.strava.com/activities/1...
