Texas Roadhouse isn't bad, but it isn't good either. Who puts some kind of sauce, like a sweet worchestershire, onto a steak? I ordered a steak. It should come out dry unless I specifically ask for something on it.

What brand?
Looking at fizik r1, gaerne stilo, or sidi wire. I can find the sidis at a lbs I hate (so I don't mind window shopping) but the other ones are nearly impossible. One lbs has a bunch of weird shoes but I'm not sure on the r1s. Nobody carries gaerne!

Road shoes? Explain yourself.

I can get an hour road ride leaving my front door, riding my mtb takes an hour of driving plus ride time plus fucking around with the buddies
Welcome to the beginning of old age, you poor bastard. Buy your neon gear yet?

Ended up doing a modified Full Pull. 22 miles, 4K vert.

Apparently I can only BARELY do a ride like this off the couch any more. Things started to get REALLY shitty around mile 15. :dead:
Did 19.5 miles and a few feet shy of 3k vert... hit a wall at the top of Belcher. I think nutrition is part of my issue, also not really riding this year at all (yet). I also wonder if I’m not still a bit shelled from that stupid 14er? It has been days, but I’m still sleeping like a zombie after that.

Yeah, something like that. Threw in the lower trails on STM and NTM on the way over to El Rancho Blanco just to make @6thElement proud. Also, Longhorn is either dry AF or snot-covered slipperiness, and it's way rougher than even a few months ago. So basically, it's awesome. I did almost come unglued from the bike railing through some slippery gnar... that was exciting.

I think I remarked the other day that Longhorn seemed a lot more "gnar" on my recent lap versus whenever I hit it last year.
