Riding Emigration Canyon with the Borg
It was a lot of fun. The Borg is a really cool guy and I know we all really hope he can do ULCER, but I understand if he is just going to do Sawtooth though. It looks beautiful. Anyway, the climb was really tough for me, but we made it all the way to the top. Lots of fun!

Congrats on the climb. I'm fully expecting to roll backwards down the first baby hill in Montana. |

My wife does not ride fast, but she's constant and can climb anything. Her week this week included 250 miles of riding and 25,000 feet of climbing. She gets a new chain every month.

What?!?! I think Mrs. Archaea needs to get a job or volunteer at the hospital or something with all of that extra time that she has. Thats an insane amount of time in the saddle.

Typically when the chain gets stretched out you start to have shifting issues. If you have a hard time getting into a certain gear and cogs look okay and the derailer is functioning properly, its probably time to replace the chain. I usually get several thousand miles out of my chain.

She asked me why I wasn't volunteering for this race on Saturday, not wanting to offend I didn't inform her, because "you always do."
