Arya is back home in Connecticut this week whilst I am out in Portland for the MADE bike show.  long long time friend Patz sits in for a talk about our relationship as friends that led us to form a tire company named for fine wines we'd never sipped.  also bit of MADE banter and a wee bit of Vuelta gossip.  and do we need to optimize our bikes more as we age?
