Great book. Good read for those thinking it is too cold to ride.

They are lucky it wasn't 35 degrees outside. They would be dead.

Merc has Williams by the short and curlies too. Can they make sure Albon is at least 5 seconds back too?

What a waste of good farmland! I can't believe that people do not value the thing that actually sustains us.

Rolling resistance has way more of an effect than weight. But that said, I would never trade off durability for weight especially for a commuter/bike touring bike. Punctures are a drag any time but especially when you are carrying a load.

I ran into an issue when I updated Cinnamon to "victoria" release this week. Firefox was removed by the update and I had to manually install it.

I'm still wondering why there is even gender based play in Chess.

It's only the second biggest Methane emitter in Texas. The members of the State Legislature have it beat hands down.

I also have the chromoly Rove but in Silver. Love this bike. It is a real workhorse. I changed out the handlebars for Surly TruckStops which gives a slightly more upright riding position. Perfect for riding in town and among traffic. I run WTB Horizon's or Ventures when it is wet.

The 5 submariners chances of being rescued are very slim at this point but much much higher than the 500 migrants still missing off the coast of Greece who took to the waters not for a joy ride but to escape war and seek a better life.
