@SugarTreeGolf That hole is my nemesis. I want to see some good players actually attack that hole so I can see how it’s done. Most of the time it looks like triage out there. In all seriousness, great work! See you at 4pm.

We’ve been working hard getting the course in great shape. This is the 14th fairway. Last June it was 75% dirt. It’s getting better and better.

@DoerflerJared As a fellow entrepreneur, congrats! I love your story & the brand you are creating. As a new golfer that really wanted one, I’m bummed. Started clicking refresh before 10am & said sold out until I gave up. Cool thing is that you know you will have some traction on future releases

We did our Limited Release El Reno this morning. We put 12 on the site. They sold out in 45 seconds. I am genuinely surprised they sold that quick. Truly grateful for the golfers who believe in us. Thank you. Sincerely appreciate golfers who tried to buy as well.

@CCooganCisek Yep. SynchroShift. Double click (like a mouse) the button on the Junction Box. 1 blink for standard (most likely what you want) 2 blink for semi synchro, 3 blink for full synchro

Di2 11-speed..... On both my bikes, I seem to have a point at which shifting easier in back results in the chain "dropping" to little ring in front. Is this some crazy setting wherein if cross-chained enough, it shifts to little ring. It's, I think, about 3 cogs from easiest.

@drewesherick @bikeflights @UPS Another great example of “You get what you pay for.” @bikeflights is a superior service even if it is no longer the value that it once was. Great service costs money.

It’s times like this I’m reminded why @bikeflights is so amazing. They make shipping so easy, handle claims and delays and work with @UPS , a superior shipping service

@7Crabbe75 There is an obvious economy of scale and this helps pay salaries. Which is an important piece of the conversation as well.

@7Crabbe75 Spending $7k+ for an athlete to finish off the lead lap or in the back 25% doesn’t add to their development. We saw a lot of that this season. For years the powers that be have been filling these trips up with riders who aren’t at that level yet in order to help pay the bills. 2/

I’d love to see a deep dive into budget breakdown on this.Federation $/medal, avg rider salary (trade team & worlds bonuses), coaches salaries, etc The US needs to figure out how to crack the code on recruiting the nations top talent to CX & providing a system for them to succeed

@Chris_McGovern Looking forward to seeing what you can do! That was always my philosophy too. Peak for Nats, go home and recover over the Holidays, race C2s in January on the lead up to Worlds. Extremely difficult to hold peak form for the 6 weeks from Nats to Worlds.

Love to see @Chris_McGovern and his Cervelo-Orange Living Team competing in Petange today. IMO US U23’s and young Elites gain so much more from racing smaller C2s at the middle to front of the field than getting blown out the back and finishing a shortened race off the lead lap.

@CCooganCisek Nope. The bleed port size and thread pitch are the same. Hence the fact that the bleed cup is the same across all Shimano drop bar levers.

@AlphaBicycle I read those only work in 12-speed?

I have just ordered a new Shimano Ultegra bleed port screw. Is anyone even slightly surprised?

@EscapeCycling @wadewallace I am able to admit my bias towards the genre of Cyclocross. But @stuthorne and @CdaleCXWorld set the amazingly high standard in American CX that every team (including mine) strived to better. That standard of excellence is still the benchmark in US CX.

When @wadewallace set out to create a list of 50 of the most influential people in American cycling, it turned out to be a larger, harder task than he'd anticipated. Among the hundreds of nominees, who made the list? Read on: escapecollective.com/50-of-the-most…

Everything that is old is new again.

@drewesherick @Chris_McGovern Olive Garden

@Chris_McGovern Good lord, what are they spending all that money on?!?

@BlancoSuave Man, so thankful that I timed my exit from retail and Kona just about perfectly.

I’m kind of amazed at how little reporting on how Kona bikes have imploded this year. They fired almost all their employees, stiffed their dealers, sold almost all their stock to online retailers, closed their factory store in Bellingham, and went consumer direct

@drewesherick People with a Vitamin C deficiency.

Who orders a screwdriver at an airport bar after noon? #comeonman

@nealrogers @nealhenderson @wahoofitness @sbtgrvl I’m glad we are on the same page. 🤔

@AlphaBicycle @nealhenderson @wahoofitness @sbtgrvl Yeah you’re right he should’ve let the kid win. He should be ashamed of himself for racing all the way to the line.

Quick shoutout to Coach Neal Henderson, Head of Sports Science at Wahoo Fitness, for winning the 36.5-mi SBT GRVL Green Course. From one 50yr old Neal to another — nice work man!

@nealrogers @nealhenderson @wahoofitness @sbtgrvl 😂 18 y.o.’s are just young adults. And he didn’t get jumped, he got dropped. I want to see the finish line photo blown up on the wall at Wahoo headquarters of of the N.H. bike throw with the kids head hanging low in defeat. Classic

@AlphaBicycle @nealhenderson @wahoofitness @sbtgrvl Hey, kids are fast these days. Delaney got jumped by an 18yr old in the 100mi race.
