I don't look for wisdom from Grant's blogs, but they do provide refreshingly honest and positive interest.
I don't want a low-normal rd or new sweepback bar, but I do like reading about Rivendell bicycles and their riders. This appealed: At the very end the ride, maybe 3/4 mile left, the leader for the 15 mph group whizzed past us. I said to my group, “Should we chase him?” They laughed because surely I was joking - no one had anything left in their legs after such a windy ride. I didn’t know if it was against the rules to break from the group but we were so close to the end that I decided to try. I chased and caught and even passed the rider, but when I got to my vehicle where my legs were jelly and my voice was raspy. Ok, maybe it was a little hard. I don’t *really* care about beating people but I DO want them to know you can ride a steel, upright bike and be plenty fast and relevant and comfortable. I think that is my mission in this club I expect Leah *does* have something of that "type A" competitive personality, and good for you! Goats. Frankly, I like them better than platypuses. But they're close to sheep, and reading Grant's ecomium (I'll bet you have to look that up) of goats, it reminded me of this, stuck in mind from years and decades ago. *Bad Child's Book of Beasts* by Hillaire Belloc, illus.
