Ever see someone smiling while running? Me either.

2nd place at a local trail 50km yesterday. Was fun to go out with the fast pack. At 4 miles or so the pack thinned and at 7 miles I was passed by two runners. Then passed again at mile 12. Managed to run my way back to second place on the last few hills.

@seawolf I smile when running (and cycling) and see lots of other people doing it too

Like Andy Glaze says, ‘Smile or you’re doing it wrong’ - 
@Giles @Tago-Mago

Got a new bike rack for the Toy. Used it for the first time yesterday. Nice, secure and easy to load/unload.

Hey,
I was just browsing the parts bin of a bike shop in search of cool 90s mtb parts. And I found this interesting XTR derailleur. It took me a while to understand that it is not the usual XTR M950 that I was looking for. It’s a version of that derailleur that is “low normal”. That means tensioning the spring shifts to the bigger instead of the smaller sprocket.
I also found this beautiful bell for my wife’s bike second hand.


Don’t you think bike parts were so much cleaner and more beautiful back then?
