The women's race yesterday was also really good.

Some recent fits:

I have a Canyon MTB. Direct to consumer pricing makes them easily the best specced bikes at every price point. Only issues I've ever heard of someone having with a Canyon were with the newest Aeroad, and Canyon has since figured out solutions to those issues.

A few more recents:

A few recent ones:

Unfortunately, nothing. Some will argue that organizers shouldn't put descents near finishes as it increases the likelihood riders will take more risks to try to win a stage..... In this case Mader wasn't even competing for the win. It's just not possible to eliminate descending as you have to go down if you go up. And organizers can't have every mountain stage be a single climb with a summit finish, which would remove any legitimate descent from the stage profile.

From the last few days:

@AdamJ Thank you, sir!

@Dmart it's fast as hell. I love it. Can't see myself switching anytime soon. Only thing it doesn't complete dominate at is long climbs of 4-5K+ but it's really rare we race with anything over maybe 2-3K so the added weight of an aero bike is a non-issue. And I'm not pro anyway so bike weight isn't top priority as much as shedding a few extra lbs and adding some watts.

@Nik thanks! Our team worked with a local artist and had Birdworx wrap some helmets for us. They turned out really good.

Ha! I've been around awhile I suppose. Getting old. The leather jacket is the Himel Avro. I had it custom cut by Himel so it's slightly modified from their typical patterns to fit me better. Other than that it's the standard Avro in dark shinki.

The other jacket is indeed the MF midnight denim campus. Which is a great jacket. I'm really excited to see how it looks with a little wear in it.
