Friction mode (I guess they don't have that any more)? They should still index the same, I think Shimano uses the same standards over the whole line.

I'm not going to make it tonight- need some rest. Next week. Y'all have fun.

Well, SNR did 40 miles last night, I don't think that ride should do more than this one. How do you feel about integrating wabasha bridge, ramsey hill and the high bridge? Climb training ftw?

I think we safely put SNR in its place, if not in distance than in elevation.

ffs, that's more climbing than I've done in a single ride, I wish I had a gps going to track our total climb. Oddly enough I didn't feel that ride the next day

Since prior obligations prevented me from attending every single awesome bike event that went on this weekend, I'm looking to ride. Anybody in tonight?

I just might find myself waiting atop the sabo bridge, if I can remember in two hours.

I'll try!

That early sprint on West River Road was excellent, and Takumar's climb up Ohio with brakes rubbing was impressive.

It certainly was an impressive display of mechanical incompetence, not checking for rub after a flat fix...

Anybody Sunday-night-riding tonight?

I just moved here, don't know the roads, don't know people, and need to stretch my legs after a week and a half of driving, box-packing, lifting, cleaning, unpacking, and other general nonsense.

I'm out tonight. I think Takumar was going to be out too. I'll be back next week.
