Yesterday on my solo ride a group of four male cyclists rode by me and said, "I thought that was a female JP...that's a good-lookin' JP."
Guys say weird things.

I get mistaken for JP roughly every time I go to a race anywhere. And as if that weren't annoying enough (and it's annoying considering that I'm on track to hit about 60 days of racing by the time the new year comes around), the reaction I get when they realize I'm not JP is bizarre. For example at Iron Hill some woman rides by me and looks back and is all angry and accusatory and says, "I thought you were JP!"Jill Sink said:Yesterday on my solo ride a group of four male cyclists rode by me and said, "I thought that was a female JP...that's a good-lookin' JP."

But still not as annoying as getting "cat-called" while riding. Sorry you have to hear shit like that.

Do we need a Kissena JP wig day? Where we all wear wigs in a ponytail under our helmets and see who can get the most "I though you were JP" comments. Winner gets a banana that has ridden in somebody's jersey pocket up to Nyack and back, and a 700x25 innertube.

Any Mac users familiar with the AirPort Time Capsule and Time Machine? I recently set one up and true to advertised promise the back-up process, while took like 12 hours, it seems to have backed up.
HOWEVER, when I go to see what it did, other than take up a fair chunk of space on the back-up hard drive, there are no folders of consequence listed. Just "Applications" and "System" and "Library" (which seems to be entirely populated with fonts and other peripheral type things) and other seemingly random items.
What I can't find are actual documents, pictures, power data. Those things exist on my computer in their own files, but don't seem to exist on my Time Capsule. Did things like "dictionaries" and "keychains" and "logs" really take up so much space on the Time Capsule?
The product claims to back EVERYTHING up. And yet, as far as I can tell, I've got, well, not nothing, but none of the things I'm interested in. Namely pictures, word documents, etc.
Probably have to make an appt with a "genius" and maybe it all has to do with the fact that I'm running 10.6.8.
But just in case I thought I'd throw it out there.
PS I've tried googling, YouTubing, etc to no avail. So that's why I'm asking here.
Aug 25, 2015 at 01:30 PM
Marc, only one proper response: Switch to Di2. It fixes everything, shifting and backing up your hard drive are effortless.
Aug 25, 2015 at 01:37 PM
Ha
Aug 25, 2015 at 02:56 PM
At the same level you see
Applications
Library
System
You should also see
You should also see
Users
Inside that folder, you should be able to find your username, and inside that user's files, documents, desktop, etc...
If you don't have a Users folder in Time Capsule then you are probably not backing it up. Change your backup settings to include it.
Hope this helps, cheers.

Marc,
Could you try the following? First, open a folder where you keep power files. Second, scroll up to the Time Machine option at the top of the screen. Third, click on the icon and pull down the menu. Fourth, click on "enter time machine".
That should get you in.
please report back.

Remember to compare this to pairing your first bluetooth headset to your flip phone in 2007, or setting up your wireless router, it should be exactly like that experience.
or Marc are you waiting for wireless braking?
Aug 29, 2015 at 07:44 PM
- I think wireless shifting is definitely a game changer. Probably a bigger leap development than Di2 when it jumped into the fray a few years back.
- I just tried the Osmo recovery...and...WTF is it with OSMO and "the grit?" I sort of got used to it with the Hydration (make it with a little hot water, shake it a lot during the course of the ride). But I've also been using Clif Shot Protein recovery drink, and it is tasty and grit free after a good shaking in my drink shaker. I don't know, I'm happy Osmo is sponsoring us and offering us quality nutrition at solid prices but the grit, the grit, the grit...too much grit.

Marc did you use it with Almond milk? Requires a ferocious stirring effort but worth it IMHO.... unless you prefer chocolate milk!
Aug 30, 2015 at 03:02 PM
I quit the Osmo recovery and switched to chocolate milk. Ubet syrup, made in Brooklyn, and if you get the Kosher for Passover version it's made with real sugar rather than corn syrup (because apparently chocolate is Passover ok, but corn isn't even though both are native to Mesoamerica).

What makes wireless "definitely a game changer"? It adds complexity to use--four batteries, two 2032 and two rechargeable, vs. a single rechargeable. seems like much more that can go wrong. And wireless interference is still an unknown. The up on one side down on the other is cool, but Shimano's sprint buttons already go there. What would be a game-changer is a self-charging battery, maybe based on oscillation, like perpetual watches.Marc Bertucco said:

Yeah, I'm going to buy a blender just so I can smooth out my Osmo. Because I have so much extra counter-space I hardly know what to do with it.mugwump said:#mmmmmmmmmnJules said:Marc did you use it with Almond milk?

Jules, maybe I will give the almond milk a try. Can't hurt. I see that that's what is called for on the label.

I think wireless is going to be a "game changer" in the same way that when power meters and computers went wireless, it made wired computers and power meters obsolete. It may take a few years, but hard to imagine that Shimano et al, is going to be spending a lot of R&D on new versions of wired electric shifting.mugwump said:What makes wireless "definitely a game changer"?

You should have a blender because it's a great thing to have in a kitchen. That it helps with Osmo is just a bonus. Obvs.Marc Bertucco said:Yeah, I'm going to buy a blender just so I can smooth out my Osmo. Because I have so much extra counter-space I hardly know what to do with it.

There's a difference between a wireless power meter and a wireless shifting system. You can still ride when a wireless computer dies or interference blocks the signal. You can't shift when an electronic shifter dies, and if there's interference when you want to shift, that could cause other problems. So far, we only have SRAM's word on whether or not interference is an issue.Marc Bertucco said:I think wireless is going to be a "game changer" in the same way that when power meters and computers went wireless, it made wired computers and power meters obsolete.

What would be a game-changer is a self-charging battery, maybe based on oscillation, like perpetual watches.
With wired, the wires are inside your bike and the batteries are protected from the elements pretty much forever. You don't need to recable. The battery, which these days often sits in the seat post, doesn't need to be removed to be charged. I think Shimano's battery can withstand something like 300 charge cycles before it starts to fade. That's almost six years of weekly charges--and most daily riders probably will be safe doing it once a month or every other month. So the battery will probably be good for the life of the bike and several years more.
shimano and campy don't need to do any new r&d on the battery. About the only thing to do is figure out how to make it smaller--and that's probably just for Campy. The shifting probably doesn't need much R&D at all. About the only place they're going to spend is on figuring out how to make the servo-gears smaller and lighter.
With wireless, you'll need to remove the batteries when you put the bike in or on a car as the jostling will turn them on. Not that it will "waste" lots of energy, but it could be the difference between working or not. Extra hassle. Four batteries. So many people have trouble changing a single battery.
