if it'll fit better then go for it
Tough to tell....I'm new to this so don't truly know what I'm doing....but I am limited in terms of stack height because the used frame I picked up is gigantic. Difference between the other frame and mine is 50mm or 2inches... Plus better aero/brakes. It is a repaired carbon frame, but I clearly don't care about htat.

Took an off day for train riding the Denmark race. Feeling super refreshed today, yesterday had a crummy and worried body. Good news is a recovery day will get me back in the saddle if all goes awry during the race, it's still a race. Also managed to delete the bulge in my triangle bag by moving all the gear into a round bag on the handlebar. Making sense of the gear to go. The triangle bag has a zipper so that's a rip and run bag, meanwhile the buckles and straps on the round bag take work. So now the camping stuff is hard to get and the food is easy to grab not as it was. One week I'll be heading to the airport and leaving the ground behind. Big to do now is making a bike box that'll fold into a small package. Also how risky does a fellow go with a raincoat, nikwaxed windcoat vs extra weight proper raincoat vs frog togs wind sock. Denmark is known for it's food, I'm intrigued and got my name on a waitlist at Noma.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Afternoon. Another day of field hockey camp...these girls are starting to shape up. Had fun ref--ing a scrimmage at the end for our older girls (JV/Varsity) and will do it all again one more time tomorrow. came home to float in the pool a little before I get my crown fixed (just replacing one that I've had for years and was cracked). Grilling some chicken later and packing up the camper for a few days with SqEarl's family.

Yup. Convenient and I am just too cheap to buy a million kcups. I prefer my press when I have time, but in the mornings it's fine. I do prefer when I grind my own beans to the right size though. Makes a big difference.
i reverted back to a B&D single cup drip coffee maker.

i also have an espresso setup.

Oh snap, I hope you are looking at plane tickets. Gosh that place is neat.
I wish I had the opportunity to do more riding when we were there. Only got to ride one afternoon on the XC trails. Some day.

The riding I did in Squamish was one of the best worst rides I've ever had.

This. Rode Squamish. First ride back after ruining my shoulder, so I refreshing fitness and gusto. Awesome ride, despite being slow, choppy, and riding like a hack.

Going on an apricot and cherry hunt. This early stuff was hammered by frost and alot of fields gave crops that are too small for commercial value but plenty big to fill my belly. :banana::banana::banana::dance::brows::rockout:

Fuck Keurig. When they offshored their IT support to India they almost put the company I retired from out of business, and had a similar effect on many local IT businesses.

Apricots are still a little too green but I found a few that are sugary and soft enough to devour.

Cherries on the other hand... there's no going back now, fistfull's have been consumed.
