You are approaching 3000 miles this year WITH A KNEE REPLACEMENT?! I doff my cap to you, sir - excellent work; you warm this nurse’s heart. If you’re doing 20-50 mile days post knee-replacement, I guess I’m out of excuses. 😉 Sounds like the Atlantis is perfect for you. Get all the miles in on i

Leah, That is so sad that the bike he ordered didn't arrive before his passing. My first thought is that the bike is a legacy that he left for you and your sons. Hold tight to it because I have no doubt it will be used by your sons. (Proverbs 17:6). Doug On Monday, October 12, 2020 at 11:20:26

Doug, speaking of Dad/my rides, do you know that he had a Clem L on order this summer? He was 6’3” and got the 59 cm Clem, in RBW Blue, to match mine. I really had high hopes of riding our matching bikes together, but he died before he ever got his bike. Initially, we thought about cancelling th

Joyce - yikes, I don’t want to be responsible for you spending your retirement money..unless you really, really love your wheels - then send the credit my way 🙃 But I have to say new wheels makes a big difference, and dyno makes and EVEN BIGGER difference. I don’t think I can ever be without it
