- Somewhat related, I have a calendar entry that the next batch of Zoom Vaporfly 4% are supposed to go on sale Oct 4th. Does that sound correct? -- nm - JD Sep 7, 07:47 1
  - Yup, online and at select retailers so not every store will have them. -- nm - Krusty Sep 7, 07:54

You guys - last night was crazy. I went to a Board meeting for my travel chorus and out of nowhere they asked me to be President. With a capital 'P'. - Diva Sep 7, 06:49 13
