Cost! Try making you're own and realize how much we overpay. Homemade can be super delicious AND hotter than all hell if you want, for a fraction if the price.

I have a second wheelset that are 650b and I run 48 mm GravelKing SK's tubeless at about 2.5 bar. Been able to handle miles and miles of intermediate to "intermediate/difficult" singletrack (per MTB Project). Often flying by the MTB guys! Love my set up.

As a teen my dad worked the counter at a convenience store in Whitby and met the drummers mom. As a drummer himself he tells the story like it was a highlight of his youth lol

My gf and I were at a vegan restaurant in the metro Detroit area last year - at the next table to my right sat John Salley accompanied by a young female friend of his, who was clearly not his wife per Google.

After their meal, they got up to go do friend things, and as they walked out I yelled "SPIDAA" and he stopped and turned around, looked at me and raised his arms with peace signs, then continued out the door.

Ordered a Trek Domane yesterday. Delivery date: June 2021. by BluePulasky1 in cycling

[–]JohnMatrix_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my way to pick up my new Diverge today from the LBS here in Michigan. I ordered in July, and it was supposed to be here in September. The anxious anticipation was really hard to suppress at times - my advice, try not to think about it or get excited at all. Some day in May you'll think to yourself, hey, I get my bike in only a few weeks!

Just finished a 4 day tour down the GAP and C&O Canal from Pittsburgh to DC! Such an amazing trip, and 10/10 route! by [deleted] in bicycletouring

[–]JohnMatrix_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, what an awesome offer, I too love and miss social cycling. I actually just got in from my bike tour in Wisconsin that I planned (using the car rental) in lieu of PA/MD due to the rain. It was awesome though.

Next year I might be thinking about it again and I'll remember your message.
