It's rainy/grey today, and I don't think I'll be riding. However, I just got a copy of The Big Book of Cycling for Beginners, so I'll be reading that instead. This is just a terrific book! I'm on page 47 and already I'm beginning to understand more of the terminology we've been throwing around here. The chapter "Component Breakdown" is particularly great, because it's all about the Shimano/SRAM/Campagnolo group sets and it's just one aha! moment after another for me.

Y'all go ride -- I'm gonna be reading.
