How did I do? $175 for 2008 Roubaix

I impulse bought this. It needs a new front brake cable, front shift cable, and bar tape. I've been wanting a bike to learn how to work on bikes without putting my gravel bike out of service.

Wheels are true, and rear derailleur and rear brake works without issue.

It's a 61 and I'm 6'2" so it's maybe a size big for me. Not sure yet if I'll use it as an around town bike or sell after I fix it up.

[Update] I trimmed the branches on Westlake

I trimmed two areas this morning where I was bonking my head every day. There's one section slightly south of this that I'll get to in a couple days.

Sweet Protection Falconer - is it sitting too high on my head?

Measured my head at 56cm, got the M/L. It feels kind of high to me and I also feel pressure in my temples. I got it at a discount through ExpertVoice and can't return it 😭😭😭

Do you bonk your head on branches on the Westlake trail every day? Consider reporting to Find It Fix It

This stretch of Westlake has 3 or 4 different areas where I have to duck to bike past. I've reported to Find It Fix It but if lots of people do it I'm hoping it gets resolved faster 😊

I've been loosely following the training plan in the Google Sheet here, which is basically 3 months of Saturday + Sunday rides.

I've never done STP before, and I'm starting to get tired of my whole weekend being just biking lol. I did a 75 mile ride yesterday and a 45 mile ride today and felt fine. I'm wondering if I can cut back a little bit and just do one long ride a weekend instead (plus one shorter weekday ride).
