    Tour de Palm Springs

    Congrats, Tom! I was supposed to do PS this year, but my youngest daughter had a thing. Those people you passed are from our Sunday morning breakfast ride. They're newer riders and this was their first century. As we were enjoying breakfast the next morning, they were talking about seeig a...

    I dread the pedal steer

    To be honest, it gets much easier with time in the saddle. At first, it seems like a battle, but it becomes more of a dance as your body igures it out. Most of the time, just cruising down the street, I can ride almost hands free. When hammering, or sprinting, the upper body involvement is...

    Component advice requested

    Cannondale, You can shim whatever you want to shim. That being said... I think Campagnolo is the cat's meow. Even the older stuff; it's cradle to grave componentry. Mark

    My Little Cruzer Update

    As Thanksgiving approaches, I think about all the things I have to be thankful for and this young lady ranks right up there. These next two pictures were at a hall of fame baseball game the drill team and color guard performed at. Mariah has over 120 hours of community service, in large part...
