I say take matters into your own hands and make a bold statement with a red Sharpie to correct the mistake.

I’m sure the rubber in the tires and carbon in, well… in everything, aren’t very good for the environment, but it’s a good way to clear your mind after a tough season.

In truth, I have no idea. The equipment belongs to the team and I’m sure they do something smart with it.

Out of curiosity, what happens to team equipment (i.e., bikes) at the conclusion of the season. Is there a program whereby a recreational cyclist can get his/her hands on a discontinued team bike? Great racing so far this year. I look forward to your performance at the Giro. Keep the posts coming.

Be Well,

HDS

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your writing. I followed the link from your contribution to Velonews and found the blogs on your personal website. Brilliant! Your ability to tell stories while remaining accessible and authentic is a rarity in the world of cycling literature. It is obvious that your passion for learning runs deep and that cycling will offer you a long, long life of telling interesting, funny and dimensional stories. It also clear the writing, like bike racing, is something you do for the shear joy of it–and for no other reason. Keep writing and keep riding and I’ll stay tuned into both.

Exeter Cycles is my LBS too. I travel from Boston to see J.G. and buy stuff. It’s been worth the trip for the past 20 years. Good luck this Spring and at the Giro. Take care
