Every time I pass by that house, I can not help but giggle. It is so out of place it is ridiculous. (Though, that is not the only reason it is ridiculous…)

I think what clinches the banality of Thundercat Manor for me is how it just sort of stands alone on a few acres of grass devoid of any real landscaping.

I rode a bit of Loudoun gravel yesterday and enjoyed the beautiful, serene country scenery such as…

Steve and I lingered a bit longer to chat when the smell of something burning in the kitchen wafted our way. Which was strange, because drevil had already left.

There’s usually someone there. Plus I live like across the street.

First, thanks Judd for the honorary 2017 zipper pull. I also like the idea of new year/new color for zipper pulls. They’ll become rare and collectible and I’ll make a mint on eBay.

I’m in for this. Is there a part for a fat old woman [emoji70] on a Dogma?

Anything Italian is quintessentially MAMIL/OWIL. Bring your Pinarellos, your Colnagos, your Bianchis, your Wiliers… and your De Rosas because I’ve never seen one in person.

Would anyone be interested in shooting a trailer for the Mamil movie called Mawils gone wild? Thinking we have enough ladies in the groups to make a short trailer…. Bobco? Looking for some theatrical inspiration. A trailer with local ladies in a mockumentary could help the draw….

How about OWIL: Older Women in Lycra. OWILs on the Prowl.

If I can sneak out I’ll be closer to 6.

That seems like a pretty solid commute. I’m jealous of the view.

So Performance sometimes has house brand builds and they’re blowing out the 2016 and 2017 GT Grade Carbon with a SRAM Force 22 mix. They cut costs a bit with Stans Notubes Radler (which seem like an OEM version of Grail) rims on cheapo Formula hubs (which are fine) and went with an FSA PF30 BB instead of the stock Praxis BB. They also went with FSA compact cranks. A friend of mine bought the 2016 and it’s a really sweet bike at a heck of a price too. I’d probably go with the 2017 though for the flared bars and 32mm Clement treaded tires instead of the 28mm Conti slicks. Seems to fit the intended use better.

Does this recruitment drive mean you’re offering CX clinics?

Is that for after dark commuting or do you just stick to headlights?

I had a great time! My only regret is we couldn’t get there earlier.

[Birru]

Looks awesome. I’ll see about recruiting a fellow MAMIL to come with.

[Birru]

So it’s sounding more likely I’ll be able to make it. Driving vs riding is dependent on whether I can get Beth to come out.
