There's a woman who rides out of our LBS who puts me to shame on a regular basis. Today she rode one more mile in a single ride than I rode all week (108 vs 107). She's mid-60's. Retired naval officer. I rode a few miles with her last week and we were tooling along at 18-20MPH. She was chatting away. I was trying to respond between gulps of air. Serious respect for this woman.

just did a trade in through The Pros Closet using my LBS. I couldn't believe the price TPC offered for the bike. It basically went up in value...2 years later. This is the second bicycle that I've traded in using TPC. They are LEGIT and have great customer service. New bike coming very very soon

Days are getting shorter. Hard to squeeze in a decent ride after work. Barely an hour after I set out I see this. Soon it'll be indoor trainer rides only during the week.

Saw a used 2020 Trek Madone SL7 listed there for $200 *over* the list price for a new one. I guess if you really don't want to wait...

I bought a Trek Marlin 6 back in the late spring/early summer. My LBS told me that if I ordered that today, the delivery would be in September 2021. WTF??

It's crazy. The lack of inventory has certainly impacted bicycle pricing.

Here's a pic of the new steed. What an amazing machine!!!

I hit my 5000 mile cycling goal for 2020 tonight. One day to spare. Going for 7500 next year, which should be doable as I'll be retiring at the end of April and will have plenty of time for longer rides. Wifey and I also logged a bit over 600 miles of walking this year.

I've been offered a good amount on my '20 Trek FX6 Sport (w/carbon wheels); and over what I paid for my '21 Domane SLR7 - it's crazy times!

But I think it will cool and then there will be a ton of great, second-hand deals on craigslist and the like. Bikes, racks, trainers..... too many people buying now that will forget about them as things open back up. Sorta like the watch and Porsche market..
