A while back Road bike rider wrote up a place in CO that puts Rx lenses in sport glass frames, anyone using their stuff?

Rudy Project Exception, for me. I have a very high index prescription, so my choices were limited. They are expensive, when figuring the Rx lense cost, too. But, the Rx can be changed anytime, without replacing the whole system. They can be worn with/without the flip-up tinted lenses, which can be changed out. They shield the eyes, very well, from wind and bugs.

Actually, SRAM have a 36T low gear, too. I put one on my GF's bike, which runs a mid-cage Apex RD.

Shimano have low-geared options, too. But, you have to run at least a mid-cage RD to do it, which means stepping down to 105(?).

Hey everybody!

I'm not dead!

In fact, I'm putting on a race in a month:

http://www.sturgeon100.com. You should come. It will be good.

Off to pedaler's jamboree this weekend: http://www.pedalersjamboree.com/

Anybody going?

yeah, this service has been a really neat idea since they introduced it, but clearly still needs a lot of help. even in the default page where it opens up (near Googleville itself), major bike routes aren't shown, bridges over freeways aren't shown while pedestrian-only bridges nearby *are* shown,...?

this stuff gets updated by people giving Google feedback; i encourage everyone to submit updates and corrections for the area they know and ride to Google to make this a more useful resource!
