The brain trusts of two leading cycling blogs in the Southeast, Cycledork and Unsquished, rendezvoused over the weekend in a large southeastern Metroplex. Much beer was had by all as the virtues of cycle commuting and two-wheel transportation in general were lauded. My hosts were also gracious enough not to insist Saturday on a century of any kind in snow flurries while I was feeling the side effects of the previous evening's carbo loading.
Unsquished (man and legend are one) declared that his next step in cycling advancement could be a trainer. He was also generous to indulge me gory views of the scar remaining from his broken wrist, from which he appears to be recovering well. Ladymacsquish demonstrated the many virtues of her Surly Cross-Check on a 25-mile ride — Sunday — to and from the world's largest monument to a bad idea. Monument notwithstanding, the setting is quite scenic and cycleworthy. For my part I cheerfully offered gratuitous and unsolicited advice.
In partial response to one of the issues raised, I offer this link, which I stumbled across only moments ago.

It was an honour to host you. Many thanks for the delicious beer and, yes, the unsolicited sage advice!
I hope this was only the first of many regular councils on the varied technical aspects of beer and bicycling. What a great weekend.
On another note, that bike in the link weighs less than either of my cats. Of course, they're not race-legal either.
