Dear So and So

[Owlie]

Catrin: I'm hoping at least a little money comes your way. That dog bite saga was nuts!

Dear bike shop--
I must say that the service at your new location is much nicer than at your old one, and more convenient for me. (Oh, and thank you for attempting to get in a 54cm Ruby for me to try!) Also, I wish you'd pay attention. My finances appreciate it, but seriously? Maybe you should check the underside of the bike more often.

She who bought a metric ton of shot blocks to try to make up for it.

Dear 54cm carbon Synapse:
You felt surprisingly good. Nice and responsive, but still a little bit long and more like I was sitting on top of you and less an extension of me.* Nice try. Sorry. Maybe your sister the SuperSix (or the CAAD10) might be a little more friendly?
*How much of this was the fact that the seatpost was set a little too high, combined with slippery platform pedals versus being an issue with the bike itself, I do not know.
