If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

I did the Wheeler Crit tonight in OKC; business travel is way better with bicycle racing. Most of the field was insanely pissed as my first two attacks were acting, the third attack gave me about 1/2 lap on the field, DNA sent two guys after me, I acted tired, attacked again, they went with me for another two laps, I pretended to not be tired whilst suffering cardiac arrest, the pack caught me. However, I managed to get about 30 of the 50 racers pulled on that last attack (lapped them) and got a warning for encouraging and then riding the wheel of lapped riders, lol. I love crit racing.

tandem 2.0
di2 hydro is like it was meant for a tandem. I would like an ultegra 3x crank setup though to get the range without needing that massive cassette (with equally massive tooth jumps). If a 3x front di2 road derailleur came out I would swap over right away.

Hey, I'm resourceful. You have to first yell at them to hurry and get out of the way, then get on their wheel.

What I think you said is you made the OKC bike riders your beta bottom bitch, but I am not really up to date on bike lingo. So I could be wrong.

No joke. One of the other engineers took a personal day today. He flew to Denver. We had to call him because he left his toolbox locked with a specific toolholder inside, and well he was useless.

Wait I am a little confused, did he just want to do it legally? I saw an awesome documentary about NYC a few years back called Half-Baked. There was this guy named Samson who would deliver to you, and Jersey ain't that far from NYC. So I figure by now they have expanded to delivering out towards you.

I'm not sure. I think they were having specials today.

He's lit most of the time he's not at work, i think. He's also a farmer (for real, has a 12acre farm and a stand on the weekends). I wouldn't be surprised if he supplies the local dealers.

Maybe he's going to get some seeds?

Bike related: did my first zwift race last night. Much better workout than their 'workouts'. Dropped on last lap.

I have some very sad news.
After much deliberation and a few rides, I added another spacer under my stem, so I'm back to two spacers under the stem. This brings me great sadness.

Pro Bike Building 101: The steerer tube is to always be cut short enough such that the placement of spacers under the stem is not possible.
