I have no idea where I am
Had planned on leaving at 3:00am to drive up to Grandfather mountain to start hiking at 5:00 and have a cup of coffee halfway up as the sun rose. Unfortunately a bout of awful indigestion and soured stomach got the better of me.

Oh well, guess it’s another local round of dodge the mouth breather.

Holiday in Denmark today and we spend the long weekend on the west coast directly on the beach where wifes sister lives with amazing summer weather the whole weekend. I also went plant shopping my new addiction and got some stuff I had been looked for in a while. Hopefully not buying much more rest of the year. Really good gravel riding out there but I nursed my bruised legs from Friday mtb shenanigans.

I just picked one up to replace my a1 too.
Looks promising.

I tried an XL a1 years ago and it looked like a mushroom on my head. Is the a2 much different in sizing?

yeah . . . i can squeeze into the m/l, and it still looks ginormous, but everyone knows I'm a dickhead anyway, so i can live with that. :D only helmet i ever had that didn't do that quite so much was my giro xen from like 15 years ago.
