Helpful Hints

With the exceptions of a few select areas, I’m no expert on anything. (Those areas are socks, chamois creme and talking about bikes so frequently at home that I basically have carte blanche to bring home whatever I see fit, so long as we can still eat. And so long as I shut up about it sometime.)

But with group-ride season upon us, the weather getting warmer* and the days getting longer, I feel the need to impart some knowledge. Again, I’m no expert, but I was introduced to group rides by veterans of the road. Patient advice and a hand on your hip helps accelerate the learning curve a bit.

(*= With the exception of right now in Omaha. Seventy-something degrees on Tuesday, when I was sweating, and 30 degrees now. Nice.)
