Dustin laying out the truth about how to use your dollars on a gravel bike:
- know your numbers (get a bike fit)
- tire clearance (gotta be 50 or more)
- Wheels matter - a lot!
- tires matter
- less is more - go 1X
- frame material is not as important

Just like Medicare Advantage - the goal is not to destroy the program, but transfer the tax dollars to private interests.
The key point is that the taxes will continue to be collected and no free market will be created.
It is another direct transfer of public funds to private ownership with a weakened government prevented from having any influence on how the program is run.
Capitalists hate competition and free markets.

How many different batteries do you take on your bike ride?
Phone battery
SRAM derailleur battery
Wahoo Elemnt Bolt battery
Wrist watch battery
2025 in the Polar HRM
Lithium AAA in the Rival Power meter
Standard AAA in the rear bike light
That's 7, holding steady until I get a pacemaker I guess.

And I was 'all in' with my chips for this game of roulette - all the pork steaks were sitting on the cold grill when I went out to check on them.
I feel like I let down all the grillers in my family.

Sad news - I lost at propane roulette this evening and had to go to the store to get a new full tank for the grill.
